Some people like to go to over-priced and over-hyped clubs at night where they are made to feel really exclusive and important, and right now there's some sort of power struggle going on over who owns these people. Not, like, owns. But you know... who's the sheep herder, or, as they call it, "the king of nightlife"?
Allegedly the battle is down to two men: Paul Sevigny, from the Beatrice Inn (R.I.P.) and that douche(s) who runs the Boom Boom Room on top of The Standard Hotel. Not-Sevigny is winning right now, since he has an establishment that's actually open for business — but Sevigny is striking back. He told the NY Post, "it's very easy to pick up a crown when it's lying on the floor. I'm not scared. I don't necessarily love hanging out in a hotel. I feel like New Yorkers would rather go to a boutique than a department store. It's got a great view, but let's face it; it's corporate."
Currently Sevigny is seeking out a new space for his fallen Beatrice; and we're guessing there's enough room in this city for all these egos and two clubs.
