BlackBook Lowdown

Big box former Times Square club couldn't pay its bills without catering to a niche crowd, so now that's what they do: private event space (catering), a.k.a. Arena, when they're not holding an uber-Asian crowd or Gay Sundays. Lloyd would be proud. So would Darwin: welcome to the natural evolution of nightlife—only the strong, gay, and Asian survive. Ask your waiter for a booking: they'll drag a girl you fancy to your table like a piece of Korean BBQ beef. No joke.

the operators of circle should not be confused with the operators of the clubs that occupied the space prior to their involvement.most spaces were previously occupied by operators who eventually couldny pay their bills and adjusted. circle caters to an upscale korean crowd by choice not by default. i attend the club regularly and believe it to be one of the best joints in town. the fact that they have a sunday where a mostly gay crew frolic is coomon in clubland. many clubs have gayer nights. marquee, 10ak (sunday as well) etc.. every club is a "private event space" when it isnt a club. this review is an embarrassment. i am on vacation but was alerted to this dribble by circle management. circle is a great club and i believe that the concept that a club that caters mostly to korean new yorkers is not worthy is simply racist and the snarky ramblings of a very un-hip and uninformed writer. cant wait to find out who wrote this ...steve
