Editorial Review for La Nueva Escuelita – by Eric Diesel
The Scene
First you have to find the place. It's in that nether zone of warehouses and non-gentrified dwellings in the West 30s. Line-waiting time is one hour from 10pm to 12am, about a half-hour thereafter. Forget palm-grease; not even the Puffy posse could charm los dragones de la gate.
The Draw
Imagine a Mississippi River paddle boat's "Evening of Tango Madness" revue as recreated by acid-casualty drag queens with access to the sequin-and-feather wing at Eaves-Brooks; all that buttresses the monstrous ego of the rabid undersized chihuahua that is headliner Angel Sheridan. Like Chi-Chi's Mexican theme chain restaurant, Esquelita leans heavily on salsa kitsch to draw the crowds. Also like Chi-Chi's, Latino authentico is often the flava least evident.

Is an amazzing place if you like Blk and Lationo guys, well by latinos I mean the hotties, Puertoricans and Dominicans, and if you are in to hip hop and any trendy music. If you are in to the other kind of latinos go to Atalantis, Luchos and so on in Jackson Heights, so you are gonna listen horrible latino and gay music and most of the patrons are ugly as hell, lol. Now remember, a lot of atractive young guys with a thug look (not always attitude) looking for the same, yung. So please understand if you are not in to the new trends you are gonna get BORED. Excelente si buscas Morenos I Latinos, quiero decir guapos, ya sabes Puertoriqueños y Dominicanos, si te gusta la musica Hip Hop y estas en onda. Si te gustan el otro tipo de latinos, ve a Atlantis y Luchos en Jackson Heights, dosnde ademas de oir horrible musca gay y latina, la mayor parte de los assistentes no son los mas guapos que digamos, lol. Asi que recuerad en la Escuelita muchos chicos atractivos con apariencia masculina, aunque no siempre la acctitud concuerda, buscando simeilares asi que hay que entender si no estan l corriente se van a ABURRIR

the worst of the worst si quieren pasarla del carajo vayan a este lugar, primero nada que ver el web site, queria llevar unas amistades al club so decidi poner nuestros nombres en el guest list y asi lo hise por medio del web page, cuando llegamos al club nada que ver no sabian nada de un guest list. la musika puro hip hop los jueves, no drag queen show cuando en el web site decia que si habria, los tragos carisimos cualquiera diria que es un club fino lol' la clientela bueno los regulares son cafres como ellos solos lo mas cafre de new york es lo que va ahi, lo mejor del club es la seguridad, y los bartenders, y los show de drag queens cuando los hay. este es un tipo de club de solo ir una sola vez en la vida, por aquello de decir estuve ahi, lol pero nada mas hay demasiados clubs mejores en new york que escuelita total , lol' recomiendo splash y monster los lunes on latin nights para mas informacion y reviews de cosas del momento visita www.myspace.om/comunidadgaylatino
