Le Baron’s André Saraiva On Art, Love Letters, And Nightlife
Le Baron wasn’t the only New York opening by nightlife entrepreneur André Saraiva this month. Lil’ Andre is also an artist, and his first NYC exhibition, “Love Letters,” opened at Half Gallery last Saturday, luring a crowd of the city’s beautiful and damned at the unusually early hour of 6:00 p.m. The tiny gallery space was packed with fashionable bodies, many speaking foreign languages, commenting on the art, and scanning the well-lit room for faces familiar under darker circumstances.

After a soft opening last weekend, and the official opening this past Friday, Le Baron is officially most buzzed about nightlife spot in NYC at the moment. But now that there’s a new club in town (finally!), will Le Baron knock the Electric Room out of it’s number one standing as the toughest door in NYC? We put the two clubs head-to-head, tete-to-tete, or fete-to-fete. Who will come out on top?
The triple threat known as Miss Lily’s Variety, Miss Lily’s Bake Shop and Melvin’s Juice Box, the latest concepts to come out of the group behind Miss Lily’srestaurant, has already been highly buzzed about.

The highly anticipated arrival of Le Baron mayfinally actually happen. After nearly two years of dancing around the idea of opening (and making films and DJing in the meantime), it has been reported that New York nightlife staple Andre Saraiva’s Chinatown nightclub has been officially approved by the State Liquor Authority, which leads us to believe that Andre is getting his act together. Apparently, this was the final hurdle standing in the way of Le Baron’s opening, so theoretically the club should be opening soon. But knowing Andre’s record, don’t get your hopes to high. Back in February, Andre told us the reasonfor the delay was the following: More»
