I was treated horribly tonight at Kiss & Fly - basically ignored and not even considered import enough for the guest list guy to bother to look at his pad when I inquired about being on the list and invited by Click Models and Melissa Baker the new Sports Illustrated model. In fact, I've never been treated so badly in a doorman entry situation. I even watched as a known rapper was corralled into a waiting line area and had to beg to be allowed in after his fellow rappers were allowed in. It was almost ridiculous. A narcissistic vent by an over inflated ego of an obviously simple man holding a pencil and pad who thinks attitude and absolute rudeness are how one in his position should act. And by the way this guy looked like a wall street broker by day. Thinking about the whaled experience, I don't want an apology - I'd like to know he was fired or that Sports Illustrated model's PR people understand how absolutely horrible people were being treated - people who only came to wish Melissa well - in fact I pleaded with him that I was there to see Melissa and had been invited as well as put on a 'supposed' guest list I think people are over elitist clubs like this and should not even bother to attend such a venue unless they crave being abused at the door.
I go to many clubs in New York owned by people I know and they would never allow their door person to make someone invited to their club feel so horrible when hosting a party for a company or person. I know because I've had parties at clubs and made sure they knew to treat my guests with the utmost courtesy and respect. This is not one of those clubs.
Pros: there are no pros when you have your self esteem crushed by a rude doorman
Cons: plenty of cons read my review
