For 33 months, Studio 54 was the American bacchanal, an unprecedented mix of glamorous sophistication and primal hedonism. The brainchild of Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, the club opened in a onetime CBS soundstage on April 26th, 1977, and immediately became the epicenter of nightlife in New York City – and the world.

Join us as we create this atmosphere at Crossings Lexington with an array of Disco Dancing Divas!

Come in your best 70’s disco attire for a chance to win a prize!
