New York:

#1 Top Weekend Party in New York: Geovanny Polanco @ El Morocco

Merengue tipico accordionist Geovanny Polanco is a favorite among the Dominican community as he brings the tropics to the city with his traditional style of the hip-shaking genre that has made the Dominican Republic famous in music. He’ll be with La Revolucion Tipica performing live this Saturday night at Manhattan’s El Morocco, a glamorous old Hollywood-inspired nightclub that even has art deco palm trees to put you in the spirit. DJ’s Fragancia, Ju Crazy, Diverse, and Shy will be spinning all your favorite Latin, hip-hop, and R&B tunes to mix things up.

Los Angeles:

#1 Top Weekend Party in Los Angeles: Solo Para Mujeres @ Gibson Amphitheatre-Universal Citywalk

Friday, November 20

Catch the special performance of Full Monty, Latin style. Sólo Para Mujeres came after the success of its predecessor, Sólo Para Hombres (For Men Only), a play that starred Lorena Herrera, among others, and which came about after Herrera's participation in the famous telenovela, Dos Mujeres, un Camino. Sólo Para Mujeres followed the same lines: muscular actors would dance, for an audience that consists mainly of women, wearing underwear only or suggestive clothing.

#3 Top Weekend Party in Los Angeles: Buyepongo @ Juanita’s Restaurant
