40/40 Club in NYC Packs Them In

ASSI - My cousin and I wanted to have a drink and hang-out at the 40/40 club in New York City. I had the pleasure of shouting Happy New Year at the Atlantic City location this year, which was a blast. The layout was basically the same but the NYC seemed a tad-bit larger, to me. I was curiously anticipating the climate of the club. to my surprise there was complimentary entry and no hype line. Upon opening the door we were swept away in a see of people, unprepared for human heat, I checked my coat, and my cousin opted to wear hers. We managed to walk on glass and squeeze our way through the crowd to see every room and dance floor. The private rooms were equipped with pool tables, video games, and flat screen televisions. There were a number of birthdays celebrated and private sets were set-ups here and there. I am unable to comment on the drinks, reaching the bar was impossible. I really thought that we could go out have a drink, hear good music, and dance but there were so many people that when there a spot to post-up, we did until asked to vacate that spot, which was fine until a worker escorting a busboy carrying a bin of ice shoved folks aside using both arms. I lost my footing and stumbled into a couple of people that prompted a walk to the coat check for my coat that I had to locate. As we made our exodus there were people still waiting there turn to enter. As I see it, if you like crowds you will have an enjoyable time at the 40/40 club in NYC.
