Stairways of Crystal : Tuesday’s at Monster’s West Village New York (2023)

This is the story of a Tuesday Night in Manhattan’s West Village in New York. For any party goer, Tuesday’s can the most legendary « out of the world » night. Indeed, that is where the devil of the eternal party lies. This time New York made him proud!

Future Starts Slow

The whole soirée started out kind of slow, I got lost in MANHATTAN bicycling. I arrived two hours late to meet my friend at Ty’s (the second gay bar ever opened in New York). Like old school partners the  rendez-vous was given « meet me there at this time », no phone, no anything. It feels much more relax.

Descending the stairway of Crystal

Capture the feeling : you are in New York, in the middle of the West Village, right beside The Stonewall Inn, where the gays first appeared  and you go down a stairway full of mirrors : a disco ball is pending from the wall and music is blasting from the entreance.
Saturday Night Fever has never felt so real.

The Dancefloor is the party

A performer is singing every word the dj is playing. More mirrors and a wall full of light is pulsing at the music.

Dancing is a communion

In this place, dancing is a communion. The term posing takes its meaning here.
People are standing on the wall waiting for their moment. An impulse of being watched and then  becoming the show makes the vibe thrilling.
I have been dancing and thrilled to be watched. An old man comes to me :
Work it, work it work it, do it, do it, do it. Come on, give it your all
And I work. It is not a competition but I am on stage. Where is my limit, whose gonna work it more.
And he doesn’t leave me until I show them moves.
Donna Summer is singing a remix and I am working it. Moves from the arms and the legs are only an emulation of what I see around. People are beautiful and people are having it. The performer is making an exit in a grave position lying on the stage showing her elegance to everybody.

Last Dance : Time To Shine

Lesson of partying on a Tuesday : It is not about the quantity but the about the quality. True legends come out on Tuesdays.
Tuesday’s night is a reminder that you can have the best party in a party of 3.
Side note, I have been introduced to a great dj called Jamir. He is playing Sunday at The Hangar. Guess it is a rendez-vous! (After Eagle 😉
2025 Update (I did not go;) ).
See you New York 💋
