SOCIALISTA
505 West Street

What’s to be expected when Armin Amiri, the former doorman at Bungalow 8, teams up with Guiseppe Cipriani, Ben Silverman, Harvey Weinstein, and power couple Trudie Styler and Sting? A super exclusive “dilapidated chic” boîte reminiscent of 1940s Havana. Designed after a classic Cuban salon, Socialista evokes an old-world Hemingway-esque effect with slow-turning ceiling fans, faded, peeling walls, and distressed leather sofas. Situated on a quiet West Village street behind an unassuming façade, Socialista is a hush-hush venue strictly for the owners’ closest friends and acquaintances (as entry to the upstairs lounge is only granted via a secret telephone number) Once inside, the party is a haute affair where affluent Manhattanites vibe to the sounds of hip tunes, delight on seasonal New American food fused with Latin touches, and sing Viva La Revolución!
