Lemhaje Gang, self-proclaimed “nightlife emperor”

“Paul’s was my magical escape and my safe place in one. Here, I felt like I was on top of the world, while on top of the speaker box nightly dancing under the disco ball (and occasionally installing it). And my favorite drink: the Bisou Bisou, because who doesn’t like champagne, strawberries, and mint in a glass?”

Isabela Weeks, artist

“I think what really makes it cool is the creatives who are respected in their fields that come around, the writers and artists I admire, and the people who are on the precipice of ‘making it.’ People whose words and work resonate with me, there in flesh, just hanging out and chain smoking. A lot of the people know each other, and there’s a sense of comfort and familiarity that can’t be captured at any other place. It’s a good place to start a night, or end a night if everywhere else has inevitably been shit.”
