This legendary NYC club rocked from 1977 to 1980 and was frequented by the best of the best – the most famous and trendies of the 1970s – Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli, Michael Jackson, Richard Gere and other celebs. Getting inside was almost impossible and legends had it there was a cocaine dispenser and the diamond-studded bar while its dark balconies (the place was a converted theatre) hosted wild orgies in the pre-AIDS awareness era. In 1980, the party was over – cops shut the venue and jailed the owners. Now the place between Broadway and W 54th is a theater again showing some popular musicals.
