The summer fun happens on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9pm at the 14th Street Park (at 10th Avenue). The party starts on Thursday June 6 and runs through August 29th. Visit sunsetsalsa.com for more information.
Why can’t you be healthy working out and partying at the same time? Oh yeah, YOU CAN! Velvet ropes, LIVE DJ, Barry’s Bootcamp GOGO Dancers, non alcoholic antioxidant shots and a Disco Ball are all apart of this unique workout!
On the actual class:
Three switch-offs between treadmill and floor – we didn’t lose much time on the transitions because the floor sections used minimal equipment.
Lots of lunging and tons of multi-tasking exercises. Some up-and-down step work.
We did a few partner exercises – which were super fun and set a great tone for the class. On the treadmills, we took turns sprinting with our neighbor – the resting partner cheered for the sprinting partner. On the floor, we pushed our partner’s legs to the ground repeatedly for an old-school abs sesh.
Party favors:
Disco ball
Velvet ropes
Streamers
Live DJ
Glow bracelets
Joey, Alicia, Noah, and some other guy dressed in silly 80s workout garb
Shots – mid class they brought in a tray of acai antioxidant shots. They were yummy and I forgot water, so any cold liquid was a blessing.

You’ve probably been to one before – Vegas, Boston, New Orleans – or another great city for live shows. House of Blues has been established in Dallas for just a few short years, but the experience is just as amazing in your hometown. Filled with eclectic décor and music memorabilia that will make your head spin, HOB has more to offer than you might realize at first glance.
Concerts like Vampire Weekend and Aqua Teen Hunger Force draw the hipster crowd, and events like the famed Gospel Brunch entice groups of all ages to groove to soulful hymns and indulge in one of the most comprehensive buffets in the city. Private parties can be arranged for groups of any size, and the ultra cool Foundation Room gives a VIP vibe to any special occasion.
If you’re just in the mood for a hot meal and laid-back atmosphere, the HOB restaurant serves up mouth-watering entrees like Blues Burgers and Salmon Jambalaya. The next time you’re itching for hot music, traditional food and a happening spot to get your party on, forget about cutting loose at the House of Blues in any other city until you’ve given the Dallas location a try.

There’s no debate that the Oscars is the event in Hollywood. The whole world sits in front of their screens, mesmerized by the world’s most beautiful and talented actors and actresses as they compete for the ultimate award: the golden Oscar. But if you’re in LA you may have the chance to see all of this in person! For those who planned in advance (or those who want a heads up for next year), registration for bleacher seats closed on September 2009. But if you have a lot of patience and get there early, there is a possibility patience can pay by waiting in line for a golden ticket to the bleachers. Of course, there are plenty of Oscar themed parties across Los Angeles where you can enjoy the 82nd Annual Academy Awards Show from the comfort of a swanky lounge or killer house party.
The NBA 2010 All-Star Game is being held in Dallas this year, and with that comes a weekend full of star-studded parties. But the party that everyone’s talking about is none other than Diddy Does Dallas: 5 different rooms with over 35 fully staffed bars, 10 of the nation’s best DJs, 3 VIP lounges, and close to 10,000 guests. Host Diddy is pulling out all the stops for this all-star red carpet event.
Famous for his White Parties at the Hamptons, Diddy says the top five ingredients for the perfect party are the people, music, amenities, food and drink, and lighting. With guest lists that include A-listers from presidents to Michael Jackson to David Beckham, he’s got to be doing something right. You’re going to want to look your best, people will be talking about this for years.
Teas, slippers, lamps, party supplies, stationary, fengshui, window blinds, ceramics, bags, lanterns, condiments, kitchenware, and chinese dolls are a few of what fills the shelves at Pearl River. Clearly, Pearl River isn’t your average department store- or even store for that matter. As an intriguing blend between two very different cultures, Pearl River is the first Chinese American department store.
Stepping into the SoHo store, one is immediately overcome with unique colors and never-before-seen (in the West, at least) toys and trinkets. The three-story store in the middle of SoHo is constantly expanding, like the new 10,000 foot home department. Needless to say, it’s a one-stop shop for everything you may need, Chinese or American.
Meatpacking district in Chicago. Confused? Chi-town also has a meatpacking district and it happens to be at the cusp of the fastlane. Known as Fulton Market, this ‘hood is opening up hot little numbers each and every month. Whether it’s the bistro-du-jour or a great new lounge, this neighborhood is a bouncin’.
One of the newer favorites is the contemporary lounge-slash-dance space, Lumen. With 5,000 square feet of space, Lumen describes itself as “a visual indulgence for the eyes,” so too is the crowd that adorns it. Those there to chill and those there to dance all have one thing in common: they’re dressed to impress.
The 3-D sound system and accompanying uber-technologically advanced light system at Lumen is enough to transport guests to a true escape. The sound? Depending on the night you’ll find your regular hot-list for Chicago party-goers: jazz, chill-lounge and deep house.
As for the social elixir of life to keep you going whilst there? Choose amongst their chic list of cocktails all bearing the name of a different locale: Tahiti, Casablanca, Geneva. Havana, and Milan.
There isn’t a drink called “Meat-packer” – yet.

New York is famous for many things, including the Times Square Ball Drop, but most New Yorkers shudder at the thought of spending their special night in the middle of tourist central. Instead, most New Yorkers are out at the clubs, where they are warm and treated to incredible drink specials.
