Malibu Beach Club, Lido Beach, NY
Anyone who was labeled a GenXer, or has a sibling that grew up in the 80's and (the better) half of the '90s (up to '95) probably heard about this place. For me and my friends, it our mecca. Granted, it probably played the same songs in succession every Tues night (Da Loooop!) and I'm sure there's a mixtape (that's right, mix TAPE) out there of it somewhere (if there is, please email me!) but you counted on having the DJ playing the run. You knew when they played 'Rage Against the Machine' what happens to the floor. You knew what to do when the Beasties- 'What'cha Want' came on and you could always count on 'Just Like Heaven' playing at the peak of the night. Call this an homage to the place you had 2fers before hitting the floor when New Order came on, where you knew one of the crew by the DJ booth, where you called it a night when the Smiths finally played. It's a place where I met my wife and later, long after the club shut its doors, I proposed to her as well.
