In the last year New York Night Train’s Soul Clap and Dance-Off exploded worldwide to become North America’s most popular soul party! The concept is simple – all night dancing to wild 45s of superstar maximum rock and soul DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin and, in the middle, a $100 dance contest judged by a panel of local celebrities. Recession-friendly mass entertainment (always $5), the dance party/spectacle has brought its excitement to domestic markets all the way from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine and internationally from Tel Aviv to Mexico City – including monthlly residencies in New York, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Oakland, and PDX. Also the Dance-Off portion features judges from every edge of music and culture from classic subcultural icons like Mike Watt and Jello Biafra, to rock stars Andrew Van Wyngarden (MGMT) and Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), to interesting cultural figures like Satanic Priestess Karla LaVey and Green Party Vice Presidential Candidate Matt Gonzalez to your favorite neighborhood heroes. Catch The Soul Clap!

“Jonathan Toubin is the only person we can call a “professional DJ” without involuntarily making a jack-off motion with our hand…. his parties are like what Ancient Stonehenge was like if it was, as archaeologists theorize, filled with people dressed many times better than you completely losing their shit.”
– Mike de Leon, VICE

” New York Night Train’s Jonathan Toubin throws the raddest underground rock parties in New York”
– Alexander Thompson, Paper Magazine

“A shimmy-worthy mix of maximum rock’n’soul”
New York Post

“DJ Jonathan Toubin spins the 45s. The mid-’60s to early-’70s r &b and funk will have you dancing with the stars.” – Sharyn Jackson, Village Voice

“New York’s premier dusty 45 party, attracting rockers, mods and dandies alike.” – Time Out Chicago

“Genius”
– Josiah Hughes, Exclaim!

“An eve of 45-rpm soul sizzlin’ and expressive dance.” – Lina Lecaro, LA Weekly

“Ridiculous and fun” – Jennifer Maerz, SF Weekly

“Soultastic” – Courtney Ferguson, Portland Mercury

NEW YORK NIGHT TRAIN

About metropolisvintage

Metropolis is a shop located at 803 Broadway in Manhattan. We started selling vintage clothing in flea markets back in 1984 in SOHO - a time when downtown seemed like the center of the world, when street artists were pushing their way to the top and cutoff jeans were high fashion. We took hold of a set of keys and opened our first store on Ave B and 6th Street on Feb 1, 1990. Just like the East Village, we have changed over the last 34 years and now reside on Broadway just south of Union Square, but still have the largest and best selection in New York. We do a lot of traveling to find our large collection and I hope you enjoy the clothing we have to offer here. If you're in NYC, please stop by to hang out in the shop and become our customer and friend. Nothing makes us feel better than seeing someone wearing a item purchased from us when we bump into them in a bar or club or show. - - - About The Owner My name is Richard Colligan. While freelancing at various advertising agencies throughout the city and graduating from Pratt Institute in1982, I sold clothes at several flea markets in NYC for extra money. Realizing an interest in fashion, but tired with the elements of outdoor retailing, I took my small business indoors to Avenue B & 10th St in 1990. At the time, fashion was all about "grunge" - the 501 Levi Jeans, flannel shirts, motorcycle jackets, overalls, and army surplus were selling like wildfire and Metropolis was the leading provider. In 1995, I moved Metropolis to its current location of 3rd Ave & 10th St, which is conveniently situated in the heart of East Village, near St. Marks and many college dorms. Everyone from new college students to seasoned stylists would soon turn to Metropolis for their vintage fashion needs. Finally, in 2019 we switched to our largest location yet - at 803 Broadway, just a few blocks south of Union Square. As Metropolis approaches it's 34 year anniversary, I hope everyone will come and check out our store, a staple of the NYC vintage community!
