District L

Using party photos to cover an event is the best excuse I have for consistent narcissistic indulgence. But the fact still remains that Starboard Hudson is a fantastic venue and a lasting DL favorite. We navigated the waters with Starboard Captains, Sarah and Jessica, as well as designer, Rebecca Formichella. With a constant congregation of fabulous night owls, we're already signing up for the next event!

What's that? You spent $200 on a table at a tacky club full of tourists who haven't been out since Halloween? Did the one bartender at the party's open bar not hear your drink order... again? Or maybe you decided to "keep it low key this year," only to find yourself splitting a bottle of Korbel with your neighbor and her chubby cousin, Edna.

So sorry to hear that.

District L took a different approach to New Year's Eve. After the fabulous Soft Opening Concert and Party at Starboard Hudson in November, we were HELL BENT on casting our anchor at Pier 66 for the last night of the year.

And cast we did. Being sure to go fashionably overboard for the entire evening, we explored uncharted waters -- hidden nooks and quarters that we had inexplicably missed during round one.

Starboard Hudson, watch out. The next shipwreck is approaching so soon.

MePa has long been dead, Brooklyn is too far, and you can’t go out in the LES every night. So what’s a girl to do? Troll around the East Village? No! You’ll never get that smell of college out of your hair.

It’s time to head towards the Hudson. You’ve already taken the westward route to Frying Pan, and weren’t you happy you did? Now the air is getting cooler and it’s time to take that party a few floors below deck.

An old acquaintance happened to stumble upon just the place – Starboard Hudson, a former nightclub located in the hull of a docked lightship, complete with a DJ booth, massive dance floor, performance stage, and two bars. Enthusiastically described as having a “really authentic, enchanted feel,” the ‘hidden gem’ aspect lies in the fact that this boat had actually been submerged underwater for three years. Talk about New York-cool.

To unearth the revelry, a couple crazy fashionistas are pulling together a Soft Opening Party on November 13, 2010 at 9pm. Join District L and a whole crew of fabulous people to celebrate the coolest new thing that’s washed ashore.
