Many of us have lived through the years when innovation came from New York. Over the years, other capitals have had their turn, but every now and then, the city that never sleeps still surprises me with its creativity.
In Midtown (where Studio54 made history), not exactly a fashion-centric area, but certainly rich in history and legends, a famous French private club and cultural center has arrived.
Nestled between two storefronts on the sidewalk, you’ll find a door that leads down a flight of stairs to an alley that leads to another door. Once inside, you’ll be greeted by opulence.
This is Silencio, the latest export of French nightlife to land in NYC.
Known for its late-night revelry in Paris, Silencio has opened outposts in Ibiza and a second in the City of Lights, while just beginning to explore the U.S. market (with a pop-up at Art Basel nearly 10 years ago).
While the original venue owes its design to director David Lynch, the new spot is richly imagined by Crosby Studios founder Harry Nuriev.
