Two years after 18-year-old New Jersey resident Jennifer Moore was raped and killed after a drunken night at Guest House, the Post checks in on the Chelsea club scene and finds it as decadent as ever. Robberies and assaults are up, and last week "the club-lined block between 10th and 11th avenues was rampant with drunken teens and twenty-somethings stumbling around, vomiting and collapsing." Also, no I.D. = no problem! "At the very club where Moore was served, a young woman wasn't even carded at the door last week…‘For a while, it was harder,’ said Alan Rogers, 20 of Hoboken, NJ. ‘Last year, I saw a lot of smokin' girls turned away. This year, not as many. Which is sweet.’” High five?





Keep them there, thank you. To paraphrase President Bush, we're servin' them there so they don't invade our neighborhood.
Dear Alan Rogers, Please stay in Hoboken. Thanks
I hope that Boycott Belmar movement ends soon, so the morons can head back to sunnier climes.
Looks like everything is back to normal.

Yes! We need a strong containment policy. It's domino theory, folks.
bitch about it if you want, but a vibrant nightlife contributes to the nature of the city and it would not be the same without it. if you want a quiet, sheltered life, move to the suburbs.
I'm all for vibrant nightlife; heck, I participate in it all the time. I just don't support kids drinking to the point of passing out on the street or winding up dead.
isn't the drinking age 21?
so there's underage drinking going on. isn't there a law against this? nope, not in this town.
#6 How many nightclubs and late-night rowdy bars are there on your block? Seriously, let's hear. Be honest.
I bet none.
For example, the two lawyers for the NY Nightlife Association live in a "quiet sheltered suburb" Upstate. Yet they have no problem wrecking our neighborhoods on behalf of their clients, who also do not live in the neighborhoods they ruin.
Why do I think this hypocritical situation also applies to you?
Also, are you in the night-life industry? You seem to have a 'special' interest in promoting night-life. Or perhaps you are a drunken 20-something from New Jersey?
So, please, tell us: where do YOU live, when did you move to New York City, and from which suburb?
I'm all for vibrant nightlife as well - how bout we build a giant, streetwide cow-catcher, start er up, oh, around 4am, drive it west down 27th street and sweep whatever it has caught into the Hudson. Set up a DJ Booth and serve drinks - I'll pay a cover to get into that party
"if you want a quiet, sheltered life, move to the suburbs."
Or move to Boston.
What's much scarier is that the Nightmare Square clubs all use ID scanners which keep a record of when you were there. If you buying your drinks with a card, there's a record of that as well. The first time I had a drink in Manhattan I was 14, and I didn't get ID'ed again until I was about 19 and the city started cracking down.
Andy Capp, where art thou?
why do you have to be 21 to be allowed to drink anyway?
