"The fabled
Cotton Club of Jazz-Age Harlem was reincarnated
for one night in a four-story Soho townhouse.
Featuring an All-Star program of hot music and
dance, decadent Bootlegger 21cocktails, gourmet
hors d oeuvres’, real casino games, fresh
hand-rolled cigars and an after-hours lounge offering
further unspeakable delights. Downstairs –
the joint was jumpin’ with live hot jazz,
starring Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra
in front of a REAL WOOD dance floor. In addition
an All-Star program of tap dance, risqué
follies and floorshow revue were in store. Document
your night of frivolity in our vintage-style photo
booth. Gorgeous cigarette girls strolling the
club offer candies, gifts, and – cigarettes.
In the upstairs lounge – while our lovely
chanteuse and piano-man set the mood, guests are
invited to try a hand at poker, craps and blackjack
with fabulous prizes, enjoy fresh cigars hand-rolled
on premises, and other surprises. The Cotton Club
was, at the frenzied height of the Jazz Age, the
Mecca of all that swung, shook and shimmered.
At once an emblem of status and taboo, sophistication
and lust, it was a cocktail of well-heeled “high
hatters” in search of a deviant thrill mixed
with the exotic, jazz-fueled pulse of Harlem night
culture. Starring acclaimed bandleader Michael
Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra." Press
