Reply to "Is New York over?"

The fact that she is one of the only people regularly writing about clubs in NY for a print pub is in itself a symbol of the decline of clubbing.

I do appreciate that club info is making print at all, but she has an extremely narrow, dj-centric view of nightclubbing and is a total bandwagon-jumper. I don't think she would know an important nightclub story if she fell over it, and thus resorts to the kind of "_______ is great, (wait 30 days) then __________ is soooo over" reporting (substitute electro, Williamsburg, big clubs, little clubs, etc.)

She also always seems like a person that couldn't get in to trendy clubs and is a bit bitter. I know that M. Musto doesnt cover clubs that much anymore, but even now he writes a much wider spectrum of clubs in the limited space he devotes to them than Romano. It is just sad that a paper with such great writers about fashion, dance, politics and of course MUsto who made his own column etc. cant do better when it comes to clubs.

Speaking of great NYC club writing, I have seen Steven Saban ONLINE NOW recently and for all you kids that dont know he is a great club writer and NY is missing that kind of reportage like he did in the old Details magazine.
