They love New York City

Opening soon: The long-awaited club from Andrew W.K. and artist Spencer Sweeney, alternately called 100 Lafayette, Santos's, or Santa's Party House, depending on the owners' whim (pictured, one of Sweeney's visions for the logo). The bi-level space, located in Manhattan's Chinatown, held a preview last weekend; designer Benjamin Cho and actor Leo Fitzpatrick deejayed, while, unsurprisingly, club regulars (think Chloë Sevigny) came out to dance. Although it won't officially open until June, news has broken that James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem plans to throw a party there called Special Disco Version. Coachella of the East it ain't, but the venue should still ensure plenty of traffic in the city's after-hours dead zone.

I don't normally like to be critical, but that looks like the album cover to "I Saw Mommy Fellating Santa Claus."
