Profile

When a hot spot leaves its perch in the Meatpacking District for bigger and better things, there’s just one place to go: West 27th Street, where the Pink Elephant now resides. Not surprisingly, the crowd remains the same: Skinny young things in heels and designer jeans and the deep-pocketed lotharios who seduce them with bottles of $7,500 Cristal. The space accommodates 360, with lights that descend and steam that belches from the relatively low ceiling. However it retains its coziness thanks to crystal chandeliers, plants sprouting from behind the wavy wooden panels that are attached to the brick walls, and lounge seating that noodles its way around the room, creating nooks that feel private while allowing for gawking. From the small sunken dancefloor, one is eye-level with the booties shaking on the upper tier and arm’s length away from the D.J., who on any given night will be spinning deep house and on a good night might just be Pete Tong or Paul Oakenfold. — Daniel Maurer

Discriminate-(verb) To make an unjust distinction in the treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race sex or age. If you want to be treated unfairly without any reason then this is the place to go. If "Pink Elephant" is plan A and you're NOT a size 2 and your hair is not straight then perhaps you need a plan B. If you like verbal abuse from the men who work there then I suggest you attend the "Pink Elephant." If the owner comes over to the line and talks to you, then you're NOT getting in. That's their secret code. I would NEVER go back to the "PInk Elephant" ever in life. I wouldn't even drive down W27th and 11 ave. I wouldn't even walk my dog on that side of the street. They should change their names from "Pink Elephant" to "RACIST PIGS."

Make sure you're not fat or they won't let you in

The management and staff of Pink Elephant Southampton are shallow, superficial creeps. They wouldn't let our friend enter the club on Memorial Day weekend because she was "too fat." That left her in tears. Meanwhile, the front door is staffed by several men who are 40 plus pounds overweight. If misogyny and hypocrisy are your bag this is the place.
