10 Most Annoying Trends In Nightlife
New Hotspots are opening all over the city this Fall. I notice over priced drinks, drinks with gold specks, key card needed...very exclusive know somebody, who knows somebody, to get be able to get in....Are our gripes anywhere as important as the upcoming elections? Heck No, we just feel like Bitching about something else for a change.
10 of the most ANNOYING trends in nightlife after the jump...
Shrinking cocktail glasses. We know vintage cocktails are in, but do we really have to pay $12 - $14 for a teensy coupe glass invoking '20s glam? We're in a recession people. Guilty Establishments: Elizabeth, The Hideout, Milk& Honey
Ye Olde Fashion. As part of the speakeasy trend, bartenders at fancy-pants cocktails bars wear vests over button-downs - not just for fashion, but for function, too-the vests keep all those liquids off their neckties. But when paired with suspenders, cufflinks, bowler hats, pompadours, handlebar moustaches, etc. - to say it's a little foppish is to say the least. Kind of reminds me of G's to Gents. Fonzworth Bentley would say, "do exude eloquence, gentlemen, just don't try so hard." Guilty Establishments: Little Branch, Employees Only, Death & Co.
Gold Flakes. Publicity-hungry establishments would like to have you believe that gold is the new black. Why would we want to choke on expensive sprinkles of self-indulgence. Guilty Establishments: World Bar, The Eldridge, Bistro Chat
Touch-screen menus. This one's not overused yet, but we have to wonder, is ordering a glass of wine or a mean with a paper menu or a meal with a paper menu really all that hard? Guilty Establishments: Clo Wine Bar, Adour, Sakae Sushi
Access Keys/Cards. Make it Stop! If a bar is so exclusive, so unattainable, so cooler-than-thou, , why not put surround it by gates. We'll hang tight to our metrocards thank you very much! Guilty Establishments: The Eldridge, Rose Bar, A 60
Wannabe Strippers. When these young girls have had way to much to drink and can't resist the urge to shake what their mama gave them on a bar or on a pole....you're just asking to be on a shameless "Girls Gone Wild Video" Guilty Establishments: Nikki Beach Midtown, The Plumm, Mansion
LAWD! Exposed Under Butts! Confidence is a beautiful thing - but whether you have stick or curvaceous legs, super-short-shorts or mini-dresses that expose the lower cheek/upper thigh (al Angel Lola) are not appropriate for a night out. Guilty Establishments: Tenjune, Marquee, 1 OAK
Fedoras. This trend was so 2 years ago, and you know it when you see every third person rockin the trend. It's like the trucker hat, every has finally caved in. Guilty Establishments: Max Fish, Spotted Pig, Santos' Party House
Headbands on foreheads (or foreheadbands). Just because celebs have embraced the not-going-to-mess-my blowout headband doesn't automatically make this a good look - at least not for everyone. If you rock this trend along with perfect makeup and/or a Prada handbag, we have a newsflash for you: You're not a hippie. Guilty Establishments: Beatrice Inn, Socialista, Apotheke
Male Cleavage. Deep-cut v-neck tees for men were gutsy when they were first released. Sadlym the trend has become a bane of a men's nighttime fashion as of late, and whether the pecs are defined or not, excessive hairy chest or not, this trend has got to go!!!! and ladies if you can't beat em' join em....borrow his tops and double your wardrobe. Guilty Establishments: 205, Angels & Kings, Touch.
What night trends skeev you out??? Just get on your last nerves....Share!
