A new nightclub will only attract the trend for members involving the New York City by welcoming the measures-at least those who can take behind its black velvet rope, the side dishes can detect.
Night Life, Groupo Gitano will open the Bohemia Club later this month in South Street Seaport’s Pier 17-providing bottle service and intoxicating views of New York Harbor.
“We decided not to follow the trend of private members’ clubs,” Side Dish James Gardner, founder and CEO of Gitano told Side.
“Bohemia Club is a champagne house and a dance lounge that leads us back to the wonderful, entertaining time of New York from the late 1970s to the 90s, celebrating freedom, hedonism and individuality,” Gardner said.
The 3,000-square-foot club will be much smaller than the sin of sin from the past like studio 54, the tunnel, the attention and the Palladium-but the entrance will still require a jump.
“There will be a natural selection, along with a black velvet rope and gold stanchions,” Gardner said. “We can be inspired by the past, but we never try to restore it or create it. We have to move forward and innovate.”
The goal is to restore the vibrancy of the night life scene in New York, when creative minds from different backgrounds met and mixed – before private nightclubs were filled with pocket books on the city as a toxic wound.
“Everyone broke out in special ecosystems,” said the veteran hospitality/night guru Richie Romero, adding that clubs only for members “connect the country’s club in New York.”
The model works, Romero said, because members’ tariffs can help clubs pay rent and then generate revenue through food and beverages.
Velvet rope clubs, meanwhile, have a harder time to generate income with bottle service.
But they can also work if the nightclub is connected to a restaurant with its vibe in the same place, such as Jean’s in Lafayette St., Either Catch and StK before that.
This is called the model of the resort, Romero explains, where people stay for the night, instead of going to a place to dinner and then leave to go to a club, which is what happened in the old days of Studio 54.
The resort model will go with the other Port of Gardner, located just below the Bohemia club, the modern Gitano-restaurant Mezcal and the modern Boho-Chic Mexican that opened last month.
“We are still a business, selling tables and bottles,” Gardner said. “You just have to take a look together to get inside. It is a place where people can show their creativity and not just their black cards.”
The club’s bohemia will be open from 10am to 2am, and can also be rented earlier for private events – which include sun cocktails.
By the end of the month, Gardner said the club will be open on Thursday to Saturdays, plans to expand until Wednesday by Sundays.
The port location is also ideal for a nightclub because there are fewer noise restrictions.
A list of DJs of “Cool, Downtown”, like Rose Rose, Fashion, Tia Mobley, Lafayette Bless and Fried Platano, will provide fun.
For Gitano’s debut last month, FKA Twigs performed with guests including Adam Lambert, Chloe Sevigny, Cristian Siriano and Francisco Costa at private dinner.
A British import, Gardner landed in New York in the early 20s to work in Finance. By 2003, he had moved to the fashion world, creating the first online stores for clients, starting with Marc Jacobs and expanding to include Tom Ford, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Calvin Klein and Burberry.
Ten years later, after falling in love with Mexico while traveling, Gardner launched Gitano in Tulum in 2013, creating a special appearance, from her hot neon pink mark to sand and palms that fell at the entrance.
He then decided to bring the “tropical tulum jungle to the city with large outdoor, seasonal spaces”.
Gitano opened its first seasonal pop in New York in 2018 – turning a soho parking from a concrete jungle into a tropical paradise.
This lasted until the 2021 season was over and the rent expired.
From 2022 to 2024, Gitano was transferred to the island of governors, which had unique challenges because it demanded there from City Ferry.
“It was more challenging than our current location on a downtown pier. But even on the island, we were able to bring tens of thousands of people to a place where they had never been before,” Gardner said.
On the coast, Gitano’s first interior/external restaurant is a 14,000 -square -foot -long Instagram space overlooking water.
The main dining room is filled with hundreds of tropical plants, including many who were saved from their location of the former governors’ island – including the palms of greatness, the palms of the cat, the palms areca and the birds of paradise.
Located against the gray plaster walls of dinner coal, the green makes the room feel both tropical and stylish.
“We saved a lot from our plants from the island, sending them on Pier 17 last October before it became very cold and keep them warm and watered during the winter, and we import others from Florida,” Gardner said.
There is also a “carpet” of black and white cement tiles below the center of the restaurant, wing from high adonida palms and a giant disco ball, imported from Mexico of the city.
“No one in the SH.BA
The gorgeous point has 30 -foot ceilings, and a wall with the “garage” doors of the hydraulic glass that open to the outside, with views of the eastern river and Brooklyn bridge.
Other touches of Yucatán include handmade cement tiles from Mérida, rose rope chandeliers, zapot wooden tables made by tulum artisans-and a black stone fountain from a hacienda in Merida. It is all located against a background of the black plaster walls and a ceiling of black satin “which, at 30 meters high, gives the feeling that there is no ceiling, and that you are out, especially at night,” Gardner said.
The menu also adds magic-from the executive chef Sebastian Cacho, a transplantation of the Mexican city that worked in Michelin stars restaurants, including Bâard and ASKA.
Signature dishes include Ceviche Gitano, Lobster Tostada and Carne Asada. There is also Hamachi Tostada, Huarache Duck, Birria Lam Slow Roasted Birria, and roasted cauliflower, while cocktails exhibit mescale options, botanical infusions and non-alcoholic beverages as a mint ‘Virgin Marg’ and Ginger Mint.
The space is large enough to feature three bar-jungle entrance areas at the entrance, a main ribbon that lands up to 15 people, and the golden bar, wrapped by two 19th-century columns of truck with a residence in Catskills, where Gardner and its partner, artist Andrew Cramer, possessed a 18th-century house.

The brand expanded last year with Gitano Dubai.
One hotel in the tulum is another, with 40 rooms, including three beach villas with private pools and a beach club.
