The book of Merlin Bronques's cult photoblog, which defined the look of New York nightlife in the mid-2000s. Shot with harsh direct flash, these pictures of models, scenesters, DJs and partygoers capture the sweaty, glamorous, slightly out-of-control energy of the pre-2008 party era, an aesthetic that still shapes fashion and party photography today. A now-nostalgic time capsule of hipster-era New York.
