Paradise Garage, New York City, USA - DJ Larry Levan (Building location)

This is the building that was used for the 'Paradise Garage' club night which Larry Levan DJ'd at. The entrance to the 'club' night was via the drive up slope that you can see at the end of the video. The rails, on either side of the 'drive up' slope, would be 'decked' out in flashing lights to give the entrance a dramatic feeling.

The building is still a garage, although it's now used by a telecommunications company. The building can be found on King Street, NYC.

Still there in 2010, holding fond memories for thousands of dance music fans.

Visit while you can!

PS// This video was lifted/copied from a 'disco' blog, I'm not sure when it was filmed? But it was sometime during late Feb, March or April 2010.

@spicetbedhead ur a baffon. You will never experience what dancing at The Garage was like. It was peace love n harmony at it's best. Gender and color didn't matter there. The music and vibe can never be duplicated!

House Music is & always be the best!!! Long Live HOUSE!!! Soulful House, Deep House, Tribal & Latin House... To the response to the ignorance of others, then why is it that artists of different types of music for some reason transform their craft to the elements of Dance Music (HOUSE MUSIC)? I'll tell you why, it's because they want to reach a larger audience world wide!!! HOUSE RULEZ!!!!!!!! Paradise Garage was an AWESOME to party, no one had to worry about fights, people came too party!
