The Scene – First you have to find the place. It's in that nether zone of warehouses and non-gentrified dwellings in the West 30s. Line-waiting time is one hour from 10pm to 12am, about a half-hour thereafter. Forget palm-grease; not even the Puffy posse could charm los dragones de la gate. – – The Draw – Imagine a Mississippi River paddle boat's "Evening of Tango Madness" revue as recreated by acid-casualty drag queens with access to the sequin-and-feather wing at Eaves-Brooks; all that buttresses the monstrous ego of the rabid undersized chihuahua that is headliner…

Severly Disappointed

by GT Frawst at Citysearch

I just wanted to say i am very disappointed in how my inquiry about doing my 25th birthday party at escuelita was handled and hope that the management reads this and fixes the problem in the future:

1. I called the club on several ocassions to nothing but a full voice mail box. There never seemed to be anyone there to check the messages or answer the phone

2. I email the manager, only to get replies the the inbox was full

3. I sent a message to the promotional myspace page 3 times and was told the the information was passed to the manager and i still never got a response.

4. If they could not hold my event there they could have had the courtesy to just let me know so i could have made other plans.

I have planned parties for both nightclub and restaurant and i would never shun business with out a good reason. So if there is one i would love to hear it!

Nowhere near the best...certainly not the worst

by nuevajersey at Citysearch

On the good side:

1) Large selection (Lots of hotties)

2) Close to Penn Station/Times Square

3) Good music (Not much techno...but then the crowd isn't a "techno crowd")

4) Convenient to other places.

On The bad side:

1) Expensive drinks

2) Very dingy bordering on filthy

3) Too many regulars (And not the GOOD ones)

4) Too small

5) Drag show isn't much of a show.

6) Friday's are pretty much ONLY for the ladies

7) Poor security that's also rude....and kind of stupid.

If you are looking for a late night stray piece of a8s..then you might like this place.

If not.......look elsewhere.

  • Pros: Good place to find gay Latinos
  • Cons: Pretty much everything is terrible.

Is an amazzing place if you like Blk and Lationo guys, well by latinos I mean the hotties, Puertoricans and Dominicans, and if you are in to hip hop and any trendy music. If you are in to the other kind of latinos go to Atalantis, Luchos and so on in Jackson Heights, so you are gonna listen horrible latino and gay music and most of the patrons are ugly as hell, lol. Now remember, a lot of atractive young guys with a thug look (not always attitude) looking for the same, yung. So please understand if you are not in to the new trends you are gonna get BORED.

Excelente si buscas Morenos I Latinos, quiero decir guapos, ya sabes Puertorique?os y Dominicanos, si te gusta la musica Hip Hop y estas en onda. Si te gustan el otro tipo de latinos, ve a Atlantis y Luchos en Jackson Heights, dosnde ademas de oir horrible musca gay y latina, la mayor parte de los assistentes no son los mas guapos que digamos, lol. Asi que recuerad en la Escuelita muchos chicos atractivos con apariencia masculina, aunque no siempre la acctitud concuerda, buscando simeilares asi que hay que entender si no estan l corriente se van a ABURRIR
