Old Club Edelweiss Days

[gaffer]

I think the name "Edelweiss" came from their first location somewhere in the west 20's or 30's. It was formerly a restaurant and the walls were decorated in alpine murals. This would have been in the late 1980's.

Yes I remember that place well (ok maybe not so well, more of a haze). I can certainly remember the first time (cause you never forget your first time) but I went with a GG Dominatrix and her CD slave, I remember walking in and feeling like a kid in a candy (cane) store! Spent many a weekend night getting to "know" some of the girls. I went a few times when they moved to the village and while it was good, still the vibe wasn't the same.

I really miss places like that, the parties these days are still excellent (not that I get to many) but they just don't capture that same vibe.

Loved that place... took a while to get to know some of the regulars, but once you did, game on. I would hit Sallys early for a bit (opened at 4pm), drift up to Edelweiss, between the 2 spots, never a night of disappointment...

Yeah, those were crazy days.....Sally's for happy hour, Eweiss later.....always a scene.
Some of the most insane nights of life were in there.
I liked how it was anything goes.....i remember all the old guys with with razor-stubble, a frumpy skirt on and a purse in one hand and their cock in the other...proof the old saying, "life is weirder than fiction."

Sallys and Edelweiss - I remember it too. Too bad i didn't find out about edelweiss until i was only a few months away from moving out of NY...

[Helvis2012]

Yeah.....looks that kind of scene is gone forever......Eden Underground was wild for a short while recently....but I guess it's over as well.

Trivia: who tried to burn it down?

[snacks35]

Was it Michael Alig the former king of NYC club kids who tried to burn it down? Or maybe James St. James from Michael's crew of clubbies??
