Great "Classic NYC" Read | I went to Danceteria a few times in high-school, but enjoyed the cocaine-glamour/Miami-Vice-set style of Palladium more at the time. Guess which one became legendary as the site of NYC culture-making? Joy Press’ oral history of the 21st Street club is great.

Danceteria in Pictures, Stories, and Stars: The Famed NYC Nightclub Where Madonna Became Madonna

Debi Mazar, Rick Rubin, Michael Musto, Fab 5 Freddy, and more remember the legendary ‘80s nightclub that inspired a new Madonna single—and where she, RuPaul, Beastie Boys, and more invented themselves...

Jalen Brunson: “You’re allowed to think about the worst possible scenario. But you gotta go out there and do something about it.” A good mantra for fighting fascism too.
