Ok so I'm a week late but no love lost....right?!? So last weekend, DCFab! Girl headed up to the Big Apple to define her "Jordan" moment...in other words she turned 23! We planned to hit up a couple joints, so here is a mini recap of what we witnessed:
Katra
We heard that Katra (Alphabet City, LES) was free on Fridays so we headed out there to meet up with some old college friends. We walked in and I already knew that it would be suspect.
On the bottom floor, they played salsa music and the top floor was supposedly for the "urban" crowd. Ummm for the first five minutes, I felt like I was the audience to a vogueing video on YouTube. The dudes in there were gettin' it! This little dude kept trying to dance with me because he thought I was playing around. Clearly I was looking at him like, "I'm not your homegirl, step back" LOL.
The music was wacccckkk for the first 90 minutes and we didn't even get there till 2 am (womp womp). The DJ played MC Hammer, Cypress Hill, Naughty By Nature, and even played some techno. In other words, these are great artists but he was stuck in a 1995 time zone, and after a while it gets old. Before we left, he played a couple Lil Wayne & T-Pain songs, but I was still ready to go. The important part is that we caught up with old friends, and my line sistas and I got a chance to hang out. I'm still madd that they tried to charge my $4 for cranberry juice, so I doubt I will go back there again on Friday unless its a special event.

Katra gets a C for the night (I left off the minus (-) because it was free)
Zona Rosa
First off, lemme thank our guys at ThreeKings for getting all of us into their party at Zona Rosa last Saturday. Some promoters act stank, but they always hold us down, so thanks again! :)
And even though I love ThreeKings, and usually have a great time at their parties, unfortunately, Zona Rosa wasn't the best of the best. Apparently there was a private party upstairs, so the majority of the crowd was there for that.
DJ Jon Quick was on the 1's & 2's, and his music was pretty good. I was tired, so I took a seat to watch the crowd and of course DCFab! Girl & company had a great time (with a lil help from some Goose lol).
I'm not feeling Zona Rosa for a spot to have a party because downstairs reminded me of a Jamaican bashment party with the wrong crowd. The Canal Room is definitely a better fit, but overall, I gave the party a B- (minus for the fact that the crowd only got it poppin' in waves)
