The right club....



"That's what it looks like? Wow, I must have been really smashed, I thought it was bigger?" (Yeah, its all basement)


So for night life options, Boston does not have many selections. I was spoilt whilst living in London from having the worlds best clubs and bars a £10 cab ride away. I like the idea of having a membership to a night club; skipping the lines, table service, seating. London has great clubs; Boujis in South Ken., Mahiki and Whisky Mist in Mayfair, Kitts in Sloane Square, and the new Maggies (an 80's themes pub, of course Maggie's famous speeches being played in the loos) on the Fulham Road. Yes, New York has Soho House and will soon get their own Mahiki, but Boston has nothing.

Yes, Boston is not really a big clubbing town, but after a while, you want to dance, and bar music will not cut it, (only when one is smashed can you dance to an un-remixed La Roux song). People in the states, especially in my crowed, may look down their nose to "clubbing" per se, (we all know about the Meat Packing district in NYC). One has the vision of gelled hair, Armani Exchange and Burberry. But in England its different, not only do Wills, Harry, Bea, and Eugene go out, but loads of Viscounts, Lords, Dukes, Earls, Ladies,, Duchesses and other minor aristocracy go clubbing; dancing to Dizzee Rascal and the Klaxons. If titled folk can go out, certainly people whose ancestors left the mother land in the 17th Century can.

I know people don't like the idea of not wearing an oxford and pastel khakis when the got to the bars, but switch it up, wear some Lee Coopers with a blue shirt and navy blazer. Or, if you are going to a club venue to hear the latest DJ mash-up, head to All Saints and pick up a grungy looking t-shirt; most young aristocracy mix up their looks, especially if they are going to an illegal raid in the Shoreditch or Bermondsy, (Harry went to one). If the titled folk can do it, you can too, (unless you are insecure of your social class).

But, anyways, Boston needs to have some proper members clubs.
