New York City nightlife isn't dead Despite gentrification, sky-high rents and an exodus to Brooklyn or other boroughs, there were more NYC party scenes in 2016 than were humanly possible to attend. 69 Hangovers chronicles a year of partying by journalist and nightclub personality Ernie Glam, who moved to New York City in 1984 and immediately began clubbing. Ernie Glam has a preference for flamboyant scenes and 69 Hangovers is a photo-documentary of parties where DJs played house, techno, EBM, goth rock and pop.
