A panoply of pleasures from the creators of the Box (EPs Andrew Katz and Giza Selimi), this secret nightclub in Midtown Manhattan had over 600 guests every Friday and Saturday night. Live performances, interactive experiences, DJs, puppets, and dancers made this immersive venue a refuge from reality.
