But what about middle-aged tourists with money to burn who want to go on a bender in Times Square? When I received an invitation earlier this month in the form of a 12-inch vinyl record cut into the shape of the New York City skyline to a party celebrating the new Hard Rock Hotel - “Now open for VIP treatment & 24/7 good times” - I thought, Why not? I missed the boat to Margaritaville, which opened last year just a few blocks south of Times Square, and I have yet to visit (even ironically). One of the goals when we started the are u coming? newsletter was to explore the sheer variety of nightlife in the city from the megaclub to the sex club, the frat house to the rave, from Bushwick to Seaport and back to Ridgewood.
