Recap: Three Kings Party Saturday Night at The Canal Room

So, half of TheFabEmpire crew came to visit your girl in the city this weekend and we had a great time! We hit up lots of "touristy" spots and had a blast at the Three Kings Party on Saturday night. Check out the scoop on what went down:

1. I have to admit I was slightly disappointed with the choice of The Canal Room( 285 W. Broadway) as the venue. One of the best things about living in NYC is that there are so many lounges, clubs, etc....I wanted a new spot!

2. The woman at the door was extremely rude and lied to people about how much it cost to get in. I watched her tell three different groups of people different prices ($10, $15, and $20) Not fab!

3. However, once inside I was in good spirits. The drinks were strong but expensive of course...at least all the handsome men in the building made up for it!

(Photo: DJ Fine...jk...lol. He def played the hits all night!)

4. Another thing about Three Kings' parties is that it's really a reunion for the young black professionals. I wasn't inside the venue for one second, when I saw three people I knew. Not to mention they shouted out Howard University all night long...boo.

Overall, I give this party an A- and if you've never checked out a Three Kings' party I recommend that you do!

Recap: Fashion 40 | 40/40 | The Three Kings at Canal Room

As you all know there's always something to do in this city and here at TheFabEmpire love to party. Check out this weekend's recap!

Fashion 40 (202 W. 40th) the official afterwork spot was packed, as usual on Friday night. The crowd was mixed with men and women between the ages of 21-45 (yes I said 45). Drinks were expensive per usual ($25 minimum to use your card at the bar-ouch)!

But why is that club so freakin' small!?!?!?! The space is not big enough for you to even move, let alone dance. However, I did see a couple of cuties so I couldn't complain much. Plus, the heaters outside for people waiting in line are a good look!

40/40 (6 W. 25th) is NOT the place to go and have a good time after work, it's pretty much dead before 11 p.m. Hov himself always claims that 40/40 is a sports bar and not a club..ehhhh sorry Jigga, NYFab! Girl has to disagree!


The Three Kings celebrated their three year anniversary at The Canal Room (285 W. Broadway) last Saturday. With not many clubs in NYC that cater to professional African-Americans exclusively, The Three Kings brought not only and upscale crowd but a grown and sexy atmosphere to Chinatown.

With men dressed in cufflinks and ladies in their finest wintertime freekum's, you didn't want to step in the place half-steppin'. Drinks were pricey of course but what do you expect...this is NYC. A cran&vodka will run you $10 plus tip. Martini's were $11.

There were two VIP areas that seemed to be poppin' off on opposite ends of the club, you just needed to fork out $500 to get a table. Boo!

DJ Velocity was amazing (and sexy too!), especially his oldies but goodies set that had all the 80's babies singing along!

DJ Velocity on the 1's and 2's.


One of the VIP areas, charging a minimum of $500. Not worth it, unless it's your birthday maybe!

Stay Fab y'all!
