WHENEVER YOU SAY IT’S GONNA BE An EARLY NITE…….
You end up Mansion on 28th street, dancing around like a fool!
I started off the night by going to Saviour El Mundo’s art exhibition at the Agora Gallery on 27th Street. His work had emotion and good use of color and I was happy to see it. Of course, Chelsea is the art start to a night on Thursdays, with so many galleries having exhibitions with wine and champagne. It was a bunch of people that I knew there who came for Saviour’s show, like Richie Romero, Charles Semanas and Daud from Coup d’etat Brooklyn (check out their clothes:Coup d’etat)
I also ran into Richie Adomako and a group of his friends at Agora Gallery and after a few more minutes at Agora, we cabbed it down to Cooper 35 in Cooper Square, where we drank multiple, cheap drinks and ate fried appertizers. I had rum punch. $3 rum punch. The othe drinks were $4. They were all cool people and after a few drinks, we were getting along famously. The girls broke out and the four guys left walked over to DBA on 1st Ave, where my boy Ryno works behind the bar. That’s my dude. I was sorry to hear that Deek Jenkins is breaking up. Ryno plays geetar in the band. It probably won’t be long though, bands are notorious for breaking up and getting back together.
Then it was down to Me, Richie and Stefan, who was visiting from Germany. I wanted to show them Boucarou and since we was right around the corner, we popped in. Since I do BREAD & BUTTER at Boucarou on Tuesday, I figured to show Richie the place so he knows where I’m inviting him to next week. Richie really liked Boucarou. He’s actually thinking about having the next event for Starchefs at Boucarou, which I think would be great. I would love to help plan it with them. Thats how Richie and I met actually, when i me and Sekou brokered the venue for the wrap party for Starchefs International Chef Congress/Rising Stars. We booked it at Katra and I DJ-ed downstairs for a raucous audience of foodies. It was lots of fun. So never say its gonna be a early night if you really want to make it an early night!
