Just after the clock struck 12, NEWD launched its newest Christian lounge in conjunction with GCEN, TNI
Radio, Life Zone TV and its Christian nightlife partner in S. Florida
Soul Movement Crew. It was christened The Luxe Lounge -- " A Place Fit for a King's Kid."Now a permanent fixture at the new Signet Hall and Event Center, 140-46 Queens Blvd, Queens, NY 11435, The Luxe Lounge aims to cater to young, upwardly, mobile Christians on a monthly basis to provide them with an alternative to the "get drunk, get wasted" scene that consumes New York City nightlife.
The Luxe Lounge opened its doors to a vibrant after-church crowd on New Year's, inviting guests to be photographed at the official red carpet area, dance on the immaculate hardwood floors and enjoy the "luxe-filled" atmosphere until the last person left at around 6 a.m.
Event-goers let out belly-busting laughs when Nigerian comedian Glory Weli turned church stereotypes and "holier than thou" behavior into clean moments of humor.
While the venue may have looked as posh as any Manhattan lounge, The
Luxe Lounge set itself apart by serving exotic non-alcoholic beverages courtesy of The Beverage Bar.
When asked what the highlight of the event was, Facebook fan Karen Castellanos Angustia said, "Love the mock-tails ....dirty lemonade."
Attendee Mayra Perez enjoyed the music courtesy of Daniel "DJ Dee-Knows" Sangobanwo as his selections ranged from urban gospel to reggae to hip hop to soca to Afro-beat to bachata and merengue.
"The conga line and then the electric slide at the end! Lol," Perez wrote on the Luxe Lounge Facebook page concerning her most memorable moment of the grand opening.
Attendees can expect to see all of the action at the event on the televised broadcast of The Luxe Lounge: Christian Nightlife in NYC on LifeZone Television at www.lifezonetv.com. Check the website for the broadcast schedule.
On the heels of its grand opening is a Valentine's Day party on February 14 from 7-11 p.m. at The Luxe Lounge.
