Holiday Nightlife

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Sunday night insanity occurred. First off, I somehow had 50+ people out the Sunday before Christmas after a blizzard, which is pretty good. Then the guys DJ Pauly D and Mike the Situation were at 1Oak having a blast. Mike the Situation kept taking bottles of champagne, pouring, popping and spraying it on everyone in the crowd…and on all over every girl I’d introduce him to. I really need to get on my reality TV show who’s who game because I never would have never noticed these guys were if it weren’t for the New Jersey girls that came out with me. A lot of people’s jackets were stolen, always a pity and proof of an out-of-control night. Some Knicks cheerleader dancers were out. It’s funny how the room at 1Oak on Sunday ALWAYS starts off dead and people think it’s going to be a bad night. Then it always ends up being the best Sunday party no matter what anyone says. The entire staff of Juliet came across to 1Oak. I love Juliet too and hope to work there soon, but for now, Sunday’s at Oak is popping.

1Oak is going to be open on Christmas Eve. Tenjune will be closed on Christmas day (sadly) and so I may do Juliet or head to party of a great up and coming model here in NYC named Luke Magill (the cream of the crop). Will keep you guys posted. Another big male model that I know is Ty Kinty but he is mainly based in London. Jay Z’s bouncer/body guard was actually at 1Oak my friend @clarencelmcmill said. You can follow him on Twitter for some good entertainment updates, as well as other NYC blogger/entertainers like Micah Jesse and Jared Eng. Good people to know in the business and they are all on twitter. And follow me as well for all the most up to date information at twitter.com/tnkg

This coming Tuesday (tomorrow) Talib Kweli is booked for Kiss and Fly.

Friday night at The Gates was a sexy crowd. Ice T and Coco were there chilling. Coco is actually not that tall, but amazingly gorgeous. I just saw Ice T and her leaving together. Coco went to the bathroom a few times. I snagged this gorgeous photo of the gates.

Other sightings:

December 16th P Diddy was at Pink Elephant

December 16th Alicia Keys had an event at Greenhouse and Busta R was also there

December 17th Jersey Shore cast member DJ Pauly D was at Tenjune then 1Oak (they seem to be out all the time now…)

On Wednesday I spoke to a Kiss and Fly staff member and found out that they’re planning to renovate the venue in January, so it will be closed for a few weeks. SO sad. I have to relocate my Wednesdays now. Maybe Juliet? What do you guys think? Good move?

Again: NYE. Get on it, get discounts, don’t wait for the last minute rip-offs.

Nightlife Round Up

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Confusion! So I thought Wednesday at Kiss and Fly was the album release party for Robin Thicke, but now I am hearing that it was yesterday at Butter. Also expected at Butter last night was Leighton Meester and Estelle. A pretty sick line up, but I was at Stanton Social before pre-gaming with friends.

Sunday night at 1Oak was also excellent . I snagged a photo with Larenze Tate a very cool, laid back actor. He was in a bunch of movies I used to watch when I was like 15. I haven’t seen him on the screen since, but he was such a down to earth guy. Talib Kweli was at 1Oak DJ-ing. He did an amazing job. Good Sunday party guys! Watch out. Even owner Richie Akiva came to rock out at his own club on a night when it’s run by a different promotional team. I was so happy to see him there. He came to my table, inspected the crowd and I got the opportunity to introduce myself.
Also at 1Oak last night was a famous French actor. Think he was in Ocean’s Eleven and Twelve – that French thief who does acrobatics through the laser fields. His name is Vincent Cassel and he’s here shooting a movie (I asked him, he said no photos sadly). He will be in NYC for a few more weeks so I hope to see him at SL again as I did on Friday. After annoying him enough and being in his presence AGAIN, he may let me snag a shot with him.

I went to pick up my check at Tenjune today and we couldn’t go inside. We had to meet at a diner on the corner because Gossip Girls was being filmed inside the club. Know you girls love that show.

I have been hearing tweets about Provocateur being open tonight? Grand Opening, anyone? Shout outs to David Cohen, THE MAN!!!

Miami is going to be so sick with Lady Gaga performing poolside at the Fontainebleau hotel. I can’t wait! Anyone who wants tickets check my website troymiami.com

And anyone who wants tickets for New Years Eve here in NYC check troynewyears.com

Dec 22 is Mary J Bilge album release party M2. You guys have to admit M2 has been on fire the past two months…celebrities galore! It’s just become that industry celebrity spot for big events.

Contact me ASAP for New Years Eve discounts.

Birthday Recap, Celebrity Sightings

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Just recently found out that Tuesday the Timbaland album release party will be taking place at Hudson Terrace instead of Kiss and Fly. Sad. So Tonight at 10pm Hudson terrace.

Sunday at 1Oak for my birthday was so much fun. Rihanna was at the table next to me wearing her sunglasses and having a good time. Of course she had security governing the area. Everyone was enjoying the superduper amazing DJ Questlove, who I seriously think may be the best DJ I have ever heard in my life thus far. This could be because I was intoxicated and anything I heard I started danced my ass off, but whatever. Heard the Gossip Girls were also inside and that Amanda Bynes had to wait outside for 20 minutes. The door was truly mayhem, almost as much as it is during the week.

I have to admit the Sunday night party just keeps getting better and better. I consider it the best Sunday night party in the city and for me, this Sunday was one for the record books due to my memory of it being quite weak but the photos being very entertaining. Here’s a photo with Questlove’s emcee who kept giving me shout-outs for my birthday. They also arranged a birthday cake for me. It was a memorable night.

Monday night I did the party at Stanton Social from 11pm till 1:30am and then hit Butter afterwards. It was ram packed inside with a lot of tables sold. Cast members of TV show “The Office” were there. Owners Richie and Scott were also there hanging out. Usual 1Oak looking type crowd. Models? Italians? Random dudes that know the staff. Amazing time though, and good music. I just love the venue itself. It is the longest running party in NYC (Monday nights only though).

Monday at M2 there was an event for Terrell Owens (wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills). His birthday is the same as mine, and there was a sexy event there for him. A good friend of mine Jen said Nia Long (actress) was there as well as a swarm of football and basketball athletes.

-Dec 6th Gossip Girls at 1oak
-Dec 9th Quo hosted by Fabulous and performance by Ron Browz
-Dec 11th the official Snoop Dogg Malice in Wonderland album release at M2

New Years Info, Celebrity Sightings & Events this Month

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Let’s start with my birthday. I turned 23 a few hours ago at the strike of 12am last night (Sunday) at 1Oak. I don’t drink, but was forced to tonight by all the dudes that have offered me alcohol in the past, which I always declined. I didn’t want to get “plastered” as you Americans say. I’ll report back on how that all went. The evening flier here.

OK, now the thing on everyone’s mind: NEW YEARS EVE

Promoters are making websites and selling tickets online. That’s just how it works. Companies like Joonbug buy out the clubs and set up websites for promoters to sell tickets under them. They own the venue for the night, so want to make as much money as possible from the bar, table and ticket sales. Here’s my site if you guys are checking out New Years Eve tickets or want more info: TROYNEWYEARS.COM

Dec 8th (Tuesday) is Timbaland’s supposed album release party at Kiss and Fly. This party is not new. They had Pdiddy’s birthday a few Tuesdays ago, then the owners thought things were getting too ghetto and shut that party down. Now they’re recruited some of the guys that were part of that old team to do it right (hopefully) this time. So this Tuesday should be off the chain. Go check it out and then come see me at Marquee.

Dec 15th (also a Tuesday) is Robin Thicke’s album release party at Kiss and Fly. This is information I received from the people who run the party on Tuesdays. Let’s see if it turns out to be accurate!

Other tidbits:

New club Provocatuer that David Cohen is involved with is having some events this week.

Dec 3rd I saw Mickey Rourke on the streets outside Gaslight looking for girls. He was going to SL (Simyone Lounge).

Dec 2nd Wale and Cassie were at 1Oak

NYE: Mariah Carey will be at M2

NYE FontaineBleau (don’t ever misspell it or they will chop your balls:) with Lady Gaga in Miami!

Friday Dec 11th Snoop Dogg “malice in wonderland” celebration with Funk Flex at M2.

Mon Dec 9th Clipse “till the casket drops” album release party w DJ Clue at PE

Wednesday, Perez Hilton was at Greenhouse. Quite interesting to see the popular blogger doing events at Greenhouse !?

Word on the street is that Bungalow8 might buy neighbor venue Naima to make B8 bigger. Not sure if that means they are doing well or no longer riding the exclusivity wave and really desperate.

Everything You Need to Know Post-Thanksgiving Nightlife

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Horrible that I have not written to you guys, but life has been taking a turn on Troy in so many ways.

First, Friday I added a sexy and more upscale venue to my lineup: The Gates. Amazingly, I had 123 people there which is unbelievable..the doorman Frans said no one at The Gates has ever done such numbers. Yikes. Anyways, The Gates has marble walls and a cool staff. Some of the younger people in my crowd said it’s boring, but everyone else said they loved it. It has a 1Oak feeling but a little bit more mature of a crowd…if I can say that.

Now I have mainly been busy dealing with stuff for New Years. New Years Eve I will be in Miami at LIV and the hush hush talk is that Lady Gaga is going to be there. She has some concert down there in Miami and will be at LIV (a nightclub in Miami) after. It’s my first holiday in Miami so I for once intend to have some fun myself, and I’ll blog while I’m down there to keep you guys in the loop. The sad thing is that for some of you (who have already complained) the price of the LIV ticket is $375 already. But they have, Gaga? What can I say. Keep checking my twitter.com/tnkg to stay in the loop. You can buy New Years tickets at troynewyears.com

So CV is the Old Rivington. I heard it’s sexy and even open on Sundays. Friend of mine @Britt4chichi212 tweeted about which nightclub will get the most tweet talk Sunday. We shall see who wins…I hope 1Oak since I will be there. But venues like Dark Room in LES are big too. Juliet is open Sundays now too.

I am hearing rumors Rachel Uchitel slept with Tiger Woods? What??? She used to work at Griffin and also Pink Elephant, but that’s crazy.

Jay Z and Beyonce were at 1Oak Friday night. They came in holding hands and left with bouncers all around them to separate them from the crowds (as they should be because they’re more supreme human beings than we all are). My friends from Trinidad couldn’t believe they were in HIZZOs presence.

Tay Diggs the actor was also at 1Oak Friday

Sunday at 1Oak was sick. Sadly, this foolish guy punched one of the bouncers in the face if you saw my tweets or my twitter.com/tnkg Basically, the dumbest thing to do in nightlife history besides spitting in the owner’s face. He got the stomp to the curb that he deserved. Excluding that debacle, Oak Sunday was sexy. The room wasn’t as filled due to the holidays, but same goes for Juliet. My friends said it was dead and a lot of the Juliet crowd came over to Oak to chill.

Monday was a bit hazy as I was drinking champagne and was jumping all over the place. Started at Marquee and the Phoenix Suns basketball players were there. An urban crowd of course. Was slower than usual due to holidays and then turned into a fun party with DJ Sinatra at the booth. Headed to Butter as I heard Lindsay Lohan was there. True enough, there she was with some dudes at the first table to the left enjoying herself simply dressed in a wife beater (as you Americans call it) smoking a cigg. I went to hang out at my friends table and that’s when the dancing started.

I got tipsy then headed to Avenue. LOVE that place. Got in and more champagne was handed out and MARCUS SCHENKENBERG (who was once the #1 male model worldwide, see title pic) was there hitting on the felines inside. He then was introduced to my Swedish queens and he loved them. We snagged this photo. He’s a hilarious dude and few for words. Point being I had a good time and love seeing celebs.

Don’t you?

So bbm, email or sms me when you see one and I’ll post it and give you a shout out - Amanda Hersh?

Coming up: Rihanna’s album release party is this Thursday at M2

Wale, Jude Law & Your Full Nightlife Round-Up

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Monday night at Marquee was sizzling hot with madness and celebrities. Ahmad and J Rosenblum are throwing huge events there. Last night was the official album release party for Wale (who sings that song ‘chillin’ with Lady GaGa). The celebs I saw:

Wale
Selita Ebanks (Victoria Secret Model)
Dwight Freeney (defensive Colts player)
Serena Williams (if you don’t know who she is, can’t help you:)
Barack Obama (haha just kidding, wish he was there though so I could get his autograph)
Mark Ronson (famous DJ)

The door was packed, the line long, and tons of beautiful women inside. Then celebs celebs celebs. I’m going to work on figuring out the names of American football and basketball players because it would make this all more interesting. I discovered Dwight Freeney, one of the best defensive football players in the NFL, was seated next to me at the end of the night. It was cool chit-chatting with him. When I asked him what he did, he had to tell me he played for the Colts. I had no idea!

I don’t want to elaborate too much on the number of bottles brought out by the waitresses that night but let’s just say there were a lot and they were large.

wale-big-bottle

My goal is to try and do more celebrity events and find my niche promotion – ideally a mixture between a filler promoter and bringing out pretty girls. Any celebrity events you guys hear about, let me know.

Ron Brownz, the guy who sings “gimme 20$” and “pop champagne” and some other good rap songs, will be at La Pomme Wednesday. Come and let me know if you’re attending. Some other celebrity parties are in the works. Give me time. My goal’s to make it happen Monday through Wednesday celebrity parties and Thursday through Sunday some nice, higher-end venues.

Sunday night at 1Oak it was supposed to be the movie premiere after party for a film called “The Messenger.” Woody Harrelson was supposed to be in attendance, but I didn’t see him. There were billboards set up but the celebs were a no show. In the beginning, I was worried that this Sunday party would turn out to be a failure, but the crowd is slowly but surely getting better and better each time (I am making it sound like the crowd isn’t good but it really is, but just not up to the real 1Oak’s par as of yet. However, huge progress girls/guys told me). Had a blast!

Sunday Jude Law was at Tenjune, ladies. Now don’t you wish you didn’t stay in to cuddle with your boyfriend on the couch?! Hehe. I went to Tenjune late night to speak with a business associate, and the ceilings of Tenjune had white drapes and hanging chandeliers. It looked stupendous, but I don’t know how long they plan to keep the decorations for…

Asleep on the Job and Jay-Z at 1Oak

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Absolut Vodka Event at La Pomme on Tuesday, P Diddy’s birthday at Kiss and Fly on Tuesday, O’Neal McKnight at Kiss and Fly Wednesday – I missed it all last week. I woke up at 4am with 236 text messages from girls saying they hate me for mass texting them to come out when I clearly had fallen asleep and texts from dudes letting me know what great fun I was missing 1Oak where Arod and Derek Jeter had shown up. My friend Will actually got video footage of it on his facebook. You can follow him on twitter @willharahan (I’m @tnkg).

Friday night I hit new-ish spot Roam (not that new, but fairly new). It’s turning into a machine. I want to change the bad rep it currently has due to the promotional teams that were running it before. This Friday it was jam packed and the crowd is getting better and better looking. Both floors were open. Downstairs they play House/Caribbean music (somehow the DJ manages to mesh these two genres) and upstairs is the typical hip hop playlist. PS Unfortunately, no one plays my sh*t, Paparazzi by Lady GaGa.

I went to 1Oak after to see a packed door outside and no Binn, just Sherry (the pretty jet black lady), Parker (tall, good-looking Hawaiian dude) and bouncer Dean (recognized by his repeat line “Guys get on line. No one in front the club is getting in without Binn being here. Please clear the sidewalk.”) I got in due to Dean being cool with me. When I walk in I get some tweets about Jay Z being there. Then I see him right there a top the right table (Richie’s). I’d also heard Lebron was there, but couldn’t find him. Then I saw him stand tall for like ten seconds as though he was looking for a hot girl in the crowd (haha), then he sat back down behind everyone and vanished.

Coming up this Wednesday is a huge night new party. La Pomme will be rocking that thaanng right. RON BROWNZZZZ RON BROWWWNNNZZ. Get ready for the heat and follow me on twitter.com/tnkg for the info. Love ya, peeps…I’m hitting the sack at 5:39am this morning and am writing this trash for you ;)

Nightlife: Who’s Been Where When

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

So because so much happened over the last week, I will just give you a short style recap. As always, throw me feedback people.

Private event for Kerry Rhodes( from the Jets) had party at STK Tuesday night.

Rihanna and Fabulous popped into Marquee Tuesday night. John Legend was supposed to go and perform. Not sure if he did though.

DJ Clue was at Johnny Utah’s, then went to HK Lounge after wards.

P Diddy’s birthday at Kiss and Fly Wednesday night (DJ Clue spinning)

Tavern on the Green shut down Halloween night because they oversold tickets. Some promoters told me they will be refunding people money. Good luck with that, guys.

Fergie and Kylie Minogue were at Avenue on Saturday.

This Thursday Tyson Beckford will be at a Caribbean event held by my friend Simon Khan. A lot of Trinidadians will be there and so will Miss Universe of 1998 from Trinidad: Wendy Fitzwilliams.

Quo’s owners are thinking of starting a Sunday party

Victor Calderone was spinning at 1Oak last week (I think it was Thursday, not sure though since I go all the time).

John Mayer Birthday at 1Oak, Roam Tonight

Friday, October 16th, 2009

I want to start off talking about 1Oak as it’s the highlight of this post, and last night (Thursday). I brought my Trinidadian friend Adam Pantin out with me since he was in town. I made sure he was well-dressed (khaki pants, dress shoes, and a nice button down-shirt - tucked in). At the door, Binn gave me a negative look. After all that, he told me to tell him to un-tuck his shirt because it looked too dressy.

Balloons were all up on the roof as it was part of the decor for John Mayer’s birthday party. Richie Akiva was on the microphone giving shout outs to all the celebrities there: John Mayer, Usher, Jeremy Pivon (no idea who that is), and Mickey Rourke, all at 1Oak. Packed I tell you, packed it was. A good vibe inside - even the back tables that are shaped like staircases were filled with people. A really great night to hit 1Oak.

Tenjune started off slow, as all clubs have been doing this week. All the promoters trickled in with their crews and the usual walk-up crowd who know Tenjune staff. These folks definitely added good energy to the club. By the end, an excellent party. One thing I would say is that many promoters left the club at 2:30am. This hurt the energetic vibe the room had going for most of the night. For a promoter, it’s hard to say no when your hottest and snobbiest girls want to move on to the next hot spot (sister club of Tenjune: SL) or 1Oak. These promoters are usually being hustled by their own clients to move onwards. They cease to be in charge. They are members of the cattle and the hot women are their shepherds.

Tonight, I will be hosting at a sort of new club called Roam. Some of you probably have been there and hated it. Don’t worry, I’m going to create a different energy in the room tonight. Come check it out if you want and forward me any birthday, bachelorette, or bachelor parties you want organized!

Hope all is well! Have a great weekend!

Usher’s Birthday at 1Oak, Lohan Banned from Avenue

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Wednesday was a sick night, guys. I’d heard from a Little Birdie that Usher was supposed to be at Cipriani’s, but he wasn’t. The word on the street was his birthday was supposed to be held at 1Oak, but at 3am I’d heard he still wasn’t there. Finally, he showed up at 3:15am with a small crew. He walked right up to the DJ booth and got on the emcee! He asked for a few songs of his to be played, and then they brought him a cute little cake, five-year-old kid style.

Before I went to Oak to experience Usher’s birthday fiesta, I checked out Avenue. Story for you guys!: I see Lindsey Lohan standing outside the club in the cold! I was outside and cold in a blazer and jeans, and she was outside for maybe fifteen minutes with just a little dress on.

Why?

Because SHE IS BANNED from Avenue! Wow! Any guesses on why? Because awhile ago she took pictures of Justin Timberlake partying in Avenue and posted them on some website. The Strategic Group staff would have none of this, resulting in Lohan’s leper status at the newest and fav celeb spot. The rest is history.

Juliet’s grand opening was last night (Thursday) I think…?

And the Jane Hotel was closed down? Now it’s a few streets away at a place called the Rusty Knot? Can you guys can fill me in on these things, please? :)
