WHERE NEW YORK NIGHTLIGHT 'ROAMS'
****
Roam New York City
I had recently attended an event at this new addition to NYC nightlife, Roam. Once in through the tight velvet ropes I was extremely amazed as to what was to be seen once inside. Split between two floors The main level is gorgeous with dim lit lights and big comfortable banquettes made purposely for dancing behind them really sets the pace. After making my way towards the downstairs lounge to think things couldn’t have been swankier I was even more blown away by the intimacy of the lower level. The dj booth was the center piece to more banquettes surrounding the wooded atmosphere. Then my last stop was finally where I wanted to “Roam” no further. A secret entrance of stairs behind the bar which lead to a very super exclusive private vip elevated room behind the dj booth on the main floor serves as the celebrity hangout. Everyone would want to be in this room it so hidden and exclusive if you didn’t know about it you would never find it. The crowd was hip and super trendy and waitresses were working hard while bottles were flowing throughout the night. We also hear Actor/Party King Keith Collins will be hosting the Saturday night soiree. Needless to say we give roam 4 big stars and look forward to returning again. ROAM pulls its patrons away from the traditional nightclub setting, instead aiming to channel the inner jetsetter in us all. Based upon the concept that no borders or limitations are experienced and the expectation of where the party may travel is irrelevant, ROAM's atmosphere allows for an ebb and flow of the your mindset. While New York City serves as the epicenter of the club and nightlife circuit, the rich and fabulous know better than to restrict themselves to one experience. Globalization has allowed for easier access to international lifestyles and ROAM reflects such changes in worldly views. Upon entry through the oversized gateway, one is lead the through the tunnel into the upper stretch of the lounge. This main level evokes a feeling of being in the midst of the most happening of parties attended by the hottest young actors, socialites, and models. Surrounded by the most beautiful people in the world, one desires to see and be seen. The flashy, cool surroundings reflect the confidence and adventurous attitude of the liveliest partygoers. Downstairs, an alternate universe is created. Encased in warmth and sophistication, the lower lounge embodies a feeling of old-world glamour. The DJ Booth suggests a fireplace and hearth radiating a sense of warmth. Banquette seating aligns the perimeter of the space, creating an intimate vibe to be juxtaposed with the space above. Large format black and white images by esteemed photographer Peter Ruprecht wrap around the walls of the downstairs lounge, exemplifying beauty and luxury. The venue’s dimensions are ideal for after-work parties, corporate events, private gatherings or dancing into the wee morning hours. For more info on roam visit their site at
