We got a chance to check out New York’s HOTTEST saturday afternoon brunch party “Day & Night”  at Buddha Bar (or formerly known asBuddha Bar, it is now known as “Ajna Bar“), literally across the street from Tenjune on Little West 12th street. Aside from the beautiful modern oriental décor of the venue, Ajna bar also hosts an in-house smoke room and a good amount of space for both dancing and catching with friends. We were told “rainy days are always the best for attendance” and with DJ Phresh on the 1′s and 2′s how could we miss out on this party?!

For those who are unfamiliar with Day & Night, the brunch club originated in France, so they’re bringing St. Tropez to New York and it’s one experience you won’t forget.  The actual brunch starts around 2:00pm and lasts until  7:00pm. The Day & Night brunch is well known for it’s party goers drinking endless amounts of Bertaud Belieu Rosè and possibly regular Champagne while dancing to very loud house music. The brothers  Derek and Daniel Koch bring in their whole staff, totaling around 180 people manning every position from porter to head chef, that means they can have better control over the quality of the product and party.

The sparklers that accompany the parade of bottles is, of course, nothing less than AMAZING and there truly is no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon.  Check out the EXCLUSIVE #Brunchinthecity mix from 4AM’s own DJ Phresh, this mix will have you dancing NON-STOP!

The first living organisms to make it into space and back were actually much smaller than a monkey or a dog – in 1947, a container full of fruit flies successfully flew 106 miles above the Earth and parachuted back without any apparent damage.

Soon after that, space programs began sending up larger animals. The next year, the Aero Medical Laboratory began conducting animal experiments in White Sands, N.M., and on June 11, 1948, a V-2 Blossom rocket launched into space with Albert I, a rhesus monkey. Because of close quarters, Albert died of suffocation during the flight. By naming the monkey Albert, the scientists started a trend, since every monkey used during the operation was called Albert, and the entire endeavor is now known as the Albert Project. They unfortunately also continued a trend of failure — most of the launches experienced major technical difficulties and animal fatalities. The best that could be said was that the second monkey, Albert II, survived his entire flight through space, only to die during reentry.
