NYC Nightlife Innovators Sponsored By Heineken: Matt Kliegman And Carlos Quirarte

Downstairs at the Smile there is an intimate private dining room with a glowing wall, a small wine cellar, and a giant wood table – a West Village street find. What do you like about nightlife? Carlos: “I really like seeing people out there having a good time, I don’t like sitting at a table away from everyone, I like walking through the room, I like interacting with people, and I like that just the weirdest interactions can happen at any given moment in the night. You know New York City is such a strange place that way, you know, in the people that you meet." Do you do meetings at night? Carlos: “I will never do meetings at night, I learned my lesson on that (chuckles), but the people you met at that hour, it actually is, it kind of puts me in a good mood when other people are in a good mood and I like seeing them enjoying themselves.”
