The New Ibiza

New Yorkers love to complain, that is nothing new. We want the best, we feel that we work way too hard not to get the best of everything. We also love to reminisce about the good old days when New York was really free and wild and the parties were not restricted by some ridiculous building code or regulation. New York is the city that never sleeps and yes we have had some difficulties with nightlife...but
I am beginning to think that NYC is the new Ibiza. Every day of the week there is a staggering selection of parties and DJs for every taste. I am getting lost in the sea of invitations and need at least 3 assistants to cover everything. Jeff Mills, Satoshi, Guetta, Behrouz, Tenaglia, Sanchez, Vasquez, Calderone, Lawler, Fatboy Slim, the list goes on and on. Besides the big names that you can find on any given week, there are hundreds of less famous, but just as talented DJs that keep Manhattan busy with outrageous beats every day of the week. We now have 3 beaches with sand and house music that are accessible by water taxi. You can't swim, hey it's East River after all, but you can play volleyball, dance, tan, or build a sand castle all while enjoying a delicious mix of sangria, house music and an intoxicating view of the city skyline. Beach hopping by water taxi? No problem, try doing that in Ibiza without a yacht. New Yorkers truly celebrate summer and this year despite of recession or perhaps in spite of it, we are celebrating harder than ever. So please trust me on this: you are not missing anything in Ibiza, this summer it's all about New York!
