.......................................................... In front of DJ booth (the girl with blue has style!)......Last night was the ‘soft opening’ of NYC nightlife guru Nur Khan’s new hot spot ‘The Electric Room’ which is located in the Meatpacking District under The Dream Hotel. Only 100 people can fit in this venue, so come with your A-game.
Prior to the opening was Scott Lip’s One Management’s 10th Anniversary party next door at The Maritime Hotel, where Courtney Love performed. Directly after her performance everyone left the party and some of us went to The Electric Room. When I went inside I felt like I was in the rockin’ rolling west end of Sunset Strip because the décor was British-rock-alicious themed. A disco ball above the DJ booth, artwork with British rock stars, eclectically groovy furniture and color and models seemed to step right out of a 60’s decade British music video. Courtney Love, One Management founder Scott Lipps and Entourage star Adrian Grenier and some popular models came out to enjoy the opening.
I was able to interview Nur Khan about his new venture. I asked him what inspired the amazing style and décor of his new lounge.
Nur Khan tells Ashley and New York:
“I have always loved British rock and pop, which is why I opened Wax in 1995, before anyone in NYC was doing that. With The Electric Room I want to remind people of the good times of the British pop invasion. Some of the more modern British bands that I like are Kills, Blur and Oasis. Many spots in town are only playing electronic and house, we are bringing rock back.”
The Electric Room's "soft" opening followed a performance by Courtney Love at One Management's party

...................The furniture, decor and artwork is oh so Brittania chic......
