Asian Event Reviews – New York Asian Professionals
Posted on: June 29, 2009 | By Maigal
New York Asian Professionals
Promoters: Richard Young/ Eric Yeh
This Asian networking group holds monthly events that are usually held on the last Monday of the month. You can join the group on www.meetup.com or find their facebook group, New York Asian Professionals. The group strives to create a low-key environment for working Asian professionals to interact and network. Past events have been held at Manahatta, Von wine bar, and Slate. There is never a fee to attend one of their monthly events. The crowd is fairly homogenous, consisting primarily of business professionals in finance, accounting, law and medicine. Age varies but the majority of attendees tend to be 30+. As the name would suggest, the group is primarily Asian with a few non-Asian attendees looking to check out the scene and network. I have found that their events usually have a good ratio of men to women. Their events are always held on Monday, so they are pretty low key. A good place to network and meet other like-minded working professionals. A happy hour held on a Monday usually maintains a pretty tame environment as most people don’t want to go to crazy so early in the week. The group in general is friendly, and doesn’t create a real intimidating atmosphere. If you are in the mood to try to meet a nice guy working in one of the previously mentioned professions, these events are a good option for you. Similar to an Oriented event, I am not sure if you will meet a lot of cute guys here, but you can be certain that he will most likely have a job and be able to take care of you. And honestly girls, you have the weekend to meet all the jerks in the world, so maybe Monday is a good time to mix it up with some nice guys.
Asian Event Reviews – Oriented NY

Oriented NY
www.oriented.com
Oriented holds events throughout the city on the last Thursday of the month. Events are open to all races, but the crowd is predominately Asian. The get-togethers are held at various bars and lounges, with recent spots including Vig 27, Aja Asian Bistro, and Pranna. The group charges $10 for each activity, or $5 if you register online ahead of time. Their events always include discounted drinks so the cover fee is minimal considering the drink savings. I find that the Oriented events in general attract a more subdued and mature Asian crowd. There is usually a good male/female ratio and their events don’t have a meat market feel to them. These aren’t the clubgoers or party type of Asian person. The majority of guests are in their late 20s and 30s, working professionals who are looking to socialize with other like-minded individuals. Oriented always selects restaurants and bars with a casual environment that can offer a nice setting for conversation. That being said, if you are a single lady out looking to meet Mr. Big, Oriented events probably won’t be the place for you. But I have heard, the less Americanize women like to go there to find a husband. I have also heard women complain that they don’t meet many good-looking guys, and for the most part that’s probably correct. That’s why I am still single. 
Oriented just doesn’t attract that type of guy. But if you want to socialize and network with a lot of friendly and open-minded Asian professionals, an Oriented event would be a great Thursday option.
Asian Event Reviews – 4 A.M Promotions, Stage Nightlife
Posted on: June 29, 2009 | By Maigal
4 A.M. Promotions
Promoter: Tom Tung Cheng
Tom’s events are a great option to mix and mingle with a diverse group of Asian professionals in NY. The crowd is primarily Chinese, but all Asian groups are represented. 4 A.M. has both weekday happy hour and weekend events. I find that of all the groups out there promoting the Asian scene, 4 A.M. chooses the best bars for its events. Favorite destinations include Slate, Taj Lounge, Duvet, Manahatta, Empire Hotel and Branch. Unlike a lot of other promoters, there are rarely cover charges for Tom’s events, which is nice. Occasionally for a weekend event there will be a small charge for men, but ladies can expect not to have to pay. The weekday events bring out a more mature group of Asian professionals looking to network and interact. These get-togethers tend to attract more men than women, and the age range is fairly broad, from post-college to 40+. The weekend events are a different story. The crowd becomes much younger and attracts a broader network of Asians from outside Manhattan. Some B&T, and in general less of the Asian professional scene and more of the Asian club scene. If you are looking to interact and meet other Asian professionals, you’re better off going to one of the weekday gatherings. If you’re looking to party and dance the night away while trying to meet some cute guys, the weekend events are definitely for you. Either way, Tom has both options covered. I know Tom personally and can attest that he is a really good guy who’ll go out of his way to meet everyone at his events and help out if there are any issues.
Bobbi Brown Make-Up Manual
Posted on: June 26, 2009 | By Maigal
Wearing makeup gives great illusion just like that of a wonder bra. When it’s done right, makeup gives a girl bigger pair of eyes just like a pair of amplified cleverages from a padded bra. Both are important tools to enhance a girl’s physical beauty, and I don’t see anything wrong with it. In fact, I don’ think most guys have a problem with this either. Afterall, they are indeed very visual when it comes to the opposite sex.
So, I just ordered the Bobbi Brown Make-Up Manual book today. I saw this book sold for $32 at Bloomingdale last month. It was a bit pricey for my budget but today, I saw it on Amazon for only $21. I skimmed through it when I was at Bloomingdale. It has some really colorful photos with step by step instructions on how to do beautiful make-ups. Well, I can’t wait for this book to arrive. Maybe I can teach you girls a thing or two on how to look your best with the miracle of make-ups.

Circle Nightclub

Circle Nightclub
135 W 41st St
New York, NY 10036
(212) 575-4779
Circle near Times Square comes with all of the stereotypes (both good and bad) of a Korean nightclub. Being one of the only true Korean nightclubs in the city, it has a tendency to attract a very fobby Korean crowd. The women here dress to impress, and a lot of the girls look like they just graduated from college. Short and slinky dresses are the norm, and for the most part the men also dress to impress. The space is dominated by a large dance floor with two opposing bars above which hang wall-to-wall projection screens playing music videos. On either side of the dance floor are split levels of seating where patrons can reserve tables for bottle service. The club gets crowded on weekends and a long wait out front is usually to be expected. As is common at most NY clubs, large groups of men without ladies will have a tougher time getting in. The Thursday night crowd is fairly large with a noticeably younger clientele. The music is good and the DJ usually mixes a wide range of tunes, from Top 40 to Korean pop songs. Drinks are pricey, although I have heard of drink specials early on Thursday evenings. If you are in the mood to dance with friends in a large club environment, then Circle is a good option for a weekend night. It’s usually free for ladies on Friday nights. If you are a woman, be prepared to be ogled by the many eager men roaming the confines of this space. With that being said, I have heard a lot of men would go there hoping to score. The club tends to attract a lot of very attractive Asian women. That’s why when I’m not dressing my best I won’t go to Circle. I wouldn’t want to be the ugly duckling there. So if you are in the mood to meet some men and dance the night away this is a good option.
