ZOMG!!! Have you heard the news? Karu & Y and Bricks are being resurrected!
Sorry, I got needlessly excited. The real question is why? They stood for everything that was so very wrong with Miami's nightlife scene, and worse of all, they were so boring. Those are places I consider better off dead. Now, if someone told me they were bringing back Studio A -- and actually doing it right this time, with a proper marketing and promotion -- I'd be eternally grateful.
But until that day happens, I'm going to have to settle for what's being offered this weekend:
Tonight, it boils down to two options: Guilty Pleasures at Aero Bar (247 23rd Street, Miami Beach) or Money Shot at The Vagabond (30 NE 14th Street, Miami) -- fail-safe nights that are guaranteed to start off your weekend right. Ross One, as always, will be on the decks in the main lounge at Aero Bar, while Money Shot starts its Subway Series with New York DJs Morsy and Cobra Krames.
Want to try something sort-of new? Tonight, White Room (1306 N Miami Avenue, Miami) hosts Apt, Ray Milian's weekly Thursday night party. The night finally moves off South Beach to Downtown where it seems better suited.
