Last Thursday, Dimes Club kicked off Pride Weekend with captivating music and exceptional cocktails. Hosted by Seven24 Collective, the event featured music by the renowned DJ Eliad Cohen and was co-hosted by Mezcalum and reality TV star Erin Lichy. The evening was an electrifying celebration of inclusivity, community, and music, setting the perfect tone for upcoming Pride festivities.
The event took place in the intimate and stylish Dimes Club, a new chic venue within the Gansevoort Hotel in New York City’s Meatpacking District. The night began with an intimate red carpet, where notable guests from the Real Housewives franchise such as Rachel and John Fuda, Galyna Saltkovska, Meredith and Seth Marks, Margaret Josephs and Lexi, Melissa and Joe Gorga, and Daniel Ryan Spaulding mingled and posed for photos.

- Passionfruit Margarita: Mezcalum Mezcal, passionfruit puree, lime, agave, and edible glitter.
- Espresso Martini: Mezcalum Mezcal, Caffè Borghetti, and fresh espresso.
In an exclusive conversation, Eliad Cohen shared his enthusiasm about his new single: “The new single is called “Touch Me,” I am in love with this song. I took it, re-recorded with a singer from Tel Aviv, and made a completely different beat. I’m super excited to play it tonight for the first time.” Erin Lichy spoke about the collaboration with Mezcalum: “Mezcalum is a new mezcal brand. It’s a much better-for-you spirit. It’s just a happy drink. We have a similar vibe with music and taste, and that’s why we collaborated. We were just invited to a biohacking event with Dave Asprey, and he was like, what you’re doing is going to change everything. You have to try papaya with Mezcalum.”
As the night progressed, the crowd eagerly awaited DJ Eliad Cohen’s set. Cohen debuted his new single “Touch Me,” a reimagined classic with a fresh beat and vocals. Following, the energy in the room soared when Cohen introduced Nikki Valentine (finalist from The Voice Brazil) who performed two songs live. The vocal performance was another highlight, bringing an extra layer of excitement to the night.
Guests also enjoyed the venue’s unique features, including a neon-lit bowling alley where new friendships were formed over friendly competition. The music, the drinks, and the camaraderie made for an unforgettable evening that concluded at midnight. The vibe of the evening was electric, with upbeat music and a lively crowd that embodied the spirit of Pride. The drinks flowed, the music pumped, and the sense of community and celebration was amazing. Attendees danced, laughed, and enjoyed the warm, inclusive atmosphere that made the event truly special.
