Copacabana

A latin dance club in the city. very mediocre. I’ve been to better. Vague Review for a Simple place. works for me.

Actual conversatin btw me and my friends in LES:
Me:(Slurring my words) I need more liquor
La: Oh i know, lets go to COpa
Lilia: I don’t want to go to copa
Damien: there is no way i’m going to copa
La; Come on!!, it will be fun
Me: why not, i haven’t been there since prom night in high school, lets go.
Unfortunately, the only smart person was the person that held to his guns and refused to go, which was Damien.
Sure sign you are in a shitty club, your drink is served in a water cooler cup and it costs more tha you make an hour. Why oh why did i ever ever think it would be a great idea to go to the COPA!!. this has to be possibly the worst place in the world to party, i’m not sure if its because, its badly lit, i swear i’ve been to school dances that are morderate in their lighting.
Or maybe its because as soon as i stepped in i felt like i’d died and gone to B&T heaven, i could smell the pomade used to gel hair, the girls with their thongs sticking out, the acryllyic nails and stripper shoes. When a guy’s hair is so geled up it doubles as a deadly weapon, you shouldn’t under any circumstances want to party with him
Imagine if webster hall had only one room, and the DJ played a random selection of bullshit, mostly old school songs. Then imagine it packed with a throng of tourists.
But i have given my friends one of the dubious honor of saving me should i ever drunkenly mention the copa.
She must get a baseball bat, wrap it with nails, then beat me to a bloody pulp. It doesn’t have to be a friend, anyone can do that honor and beat me to a bloody pulp.
And to think people wonder why i never venture beyond the LES and if i do, i definitely do not go beyond 23^rd, this is why people, this is why.

Copa… LATIN club of course. Make sure you know how to dance your salsa/​bachata/​merengue and all that!!! Everyone will ask you to dance and be ready!!! Young and old come here all the time. There were good amount of times I danced will old men that could be my DAD (white hair and all). .LOL. They taught me to dance a little salsa here and there. I had fun though! There’s still a good amount of hiphop music on the main floor.
I usually have to pay for this club, just try and print out the coupons to get a discount. I think COPs get comped in this club. They scan your driver’s license. Parking is hard. Duh… west side. I can’t walk too far with my heels from dancing all night. I spend too much when I go here. Entrance, parking and drinks… geez…OH WELL.
I never had to wait more than 5 mins on line. I got in ASAP.
Would I go back? Maybe. I’d rather try other places though.

Lets preface by saying Copacobana is not for everyone. If Latin isn’t your thing, then stay far away. If you can print out a coupon or go on a theme night (ie. New Years) then its worth the fun, the music, and if you can afford it, the drinks. The food for the buffet isn’t the best, but its not so bad if you can get the discounted entry. Music wise, its about as Latin as you can get ranging from Merengue to Salsa to Raggaeton. The service can be pushy at times, but with a little nudging they can be nice as well. Interior wise, the club is posh and lit in a velvet shade/​light — it can be just right with the right outfit and with the right moves.

wow… a true legend here

What can I say about the Copa? Hot Latin men running around. Ok, so it’s not all Latin men but the majority is. It’s always great on a Tuesday night. Everyone knows about Copa Tuesday, if you don’t…oh well! For those who remember the old location, the new one is a lot bigger. So, after I finish pretending I can dance Salsa, I take it downstairs to the Hip-​Hop, Reggae, room and really shake my stuff. Drinks are flowing, everyone’s having a great time. Oh and guys, there are girls dancing on the bar (a little cheesy, but whatever!) Copa Tuesdays shouldn’t be missed.
THE COPACOBANA IS NOW CLOSED FOR A SUBWAY STATION!!!
