Everyone is talking about
The Boom Boom Room. You might have a well-connected friend (or just a really hot one) who was lucky enough to get inside the exclusive club on the 18th floor of Andre Balazs's Standard Hotel. Maybe they told you about the amazing views of NYC through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows. Maybe they happened to mention the ever-revolving door of celebrities nonchalantly getting drinks. Maybe they raved about the nightly wild parties in the centrally located pool (with those same celebrities stripping down and diving in right along with everyone else). As the rumors swirl, the mystery surrounding
The Boom Boom Room continue to build—like our very own modern-day Studio 54.
Well, the latest Boom to come out of the Room might be the biggest. The New York Post’s Page Six reported today that Community Board No. 2 has just approved a petition from
The Boom Boom Room to change its liquor license from public to private. These rumors have been swarming around for quite some time, but now, it looks as if ideas of privatizing
The Boom Boom Room are finally coming to fruition.
As of now, the venue is open to the public until 10 p.m., after which the felt-rope comes up and all the “losers” get out. By making their liquor license private,
The Boom Boom Room is one step closer to becoming a members-only club.
The Boom Boom Room could make its party-goers fill out an application and, if accepted, pay a membership fee—kind of like a country club except without the games of golf and all those leather-skinned oldies (well, at least not as many).
