There is a smoking section. Ask at the people at the coat check where it is. The crowd was as diverse as I had ever seen in a dance club! Dress in casual clothing because everyone dances here. Leave suits and stilettos at home. It was great to see so many people brought together by the power of House music. The dancefloor is massive! There is room for one to dance and really get into the music. Everyone was respectful of one another and danced. There were also a couple of well chosen underground Disco songs included that went with the rest of the mix. I stayed almost until the end of the party. I truly enjoyed myself! I have a new dance club to start frequenting. Club Shelter surpassed all my expectations! I will be going back to Club Shelter again and again! A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DANCE CLUB!
So listen, this review is really about the Shelter party that usually starts at 4am on Sundays. When someone asks me if I want to go to Shelter, this is what I assume he or she means, because the truth of the matter, it's Shelter the party that is the TRUE New York institution.
The Best Deep House Music + Devotees There to DANCE + 17 years =The Best Muthafuckin' House Party in all of New York City. Really, the most FABULOUS thing about Shelter is that it's all about the dancing and the music. If you're not there for dancing and the music, then GO THE FUCK HOME AND STOP TAKING UP DANCE SPACE YOU IDIOT MOTHERFUCKERZ! It's feel-good, it's attitude-free (no shade),
it's what all house parties should aspire to be--a horde of sweaty people not caring about how stuffy it is and what so and so is wearing, but primarily interested in sharing the music and dancing. Folks who can't keep the beat, breakdancers, capoeiristas, voguers, etc. ALL IS WELCOME and everyone is embraced. It's like church for the secular.
