At one point, club operator turned designer Steve Lewis was the guy to get if you were opening a new venue. WeÕve been wondering what happened to him ever since he worked on Amalia, but now he has resurfaced as — what else? — a blogger! WeÕre not going to lie: His interview with the owners of Mansion is silly shilly (ÒNew York needs Mansion just as we need Alex Rodriguez, Johan Santana, and Lincoln CenterÓ) and includes a lot of familiar bellyaching about the state of nightlife (promoters, bottle service, and bankers turned owners have hijacked the business; every club in the last six years has been a knockoff; thereÕs no personal service anymore), but we got a kick out of Miami-based Mansion partner Eric MilonÕs dismissive survey of his competition.
