As of today, the disco "New York New York" is now closed. New York was a trendy hip-hop disco in the center of Udon opposite the Charoensri Grand Hotel. They hosted live music and random concerts through the year. The reason for closure is not 100% clear, but possibly due to lack of customers and/or partnership problems.

damn shame!

I never saw any customers in there when I used to walk past on my patrol from the Irish Clock to Farang Alley. Shame, it looked like a nice venue, but the choice of music (Hip Hop) put me off. Tawan Daeng being next door did not do New York New York any favours, as it has such a famous reputation.
No contest really.

For some reason, I was never tempted to go in and check it out ...

I was in it once and as much as I like live music, it was deafening... 2 of us (fahlang) wondered if we have more sensitive hearing as we literally could not talk to each other but the natives chatted away no problem. I agree about Sawan Daeng then throw in Yellow Bird and Mambo. It just wasn't good enough!

I think they should have done something really different to compete with the already established places like Mambo, Little Rock, Tawang Deang, Yellow Bird etc. From what I saw it was just another disco with live music but minus the coyote dancers. Maybe something along the lines of Bed Superclub in Bangers would have attracted more attention.

Maybe if they would have budgeted some baht for advertising..............

How did the Gerard Kenny song go... New York New york so good it closed....

You look good in your new pic BM... "Heloooooooooo hansome maaaaaaaaaan!"
