El Baño is the newest super-duper secret nightclub for X-clusive clientèle that will be making it's debut during Fashion Week, which is the proper time for fancy new night spots to reveal they're not wearing any clothes. It's already been getting all the necessary hype to convince dedicated second tier glitterati that they should have gotten their invitation "key" — yes, a physical thing — ages ago, so they can have the honor of entering a LES bodega to use the bathroom and be greeted into the secret society via sliding panel. Sort of like Skull and Bones meets Clerks. With more coke.
But before you start cursing the bourgeoisie, there are already rumors spreading that this club is so cool it doesn't even exist. And not just for plebs like you.
Remember that El Baño literally translates to mean "the toilet" in Spanish. And that faux-club hoaxes have deceived more gullible New Yorkers in their time. Are we about to welcome the prank of this Fashion Week season?
Perhaps. And we've love nothing more than to learn El Baño is about as authentic as the belief you aren't flushing tampons down the toilet when the sign specifically asks you not to. When the fascination with the next "big thing" in the club world reaches such a shrill pitch, it's nice to have these sort of Punk'd! escapades to remind all the regular folks why most weekends are spent in pajamas playing Guitar Hero.
