    The Night gallery was on 18th Ave & 86th St. This place was on 86th St bet. 4 & 5 Ave. Pooch played there in 77' before he went to the Night Gallery. Cest la Vie was a nice place and I was also there when Alex played there. He was a good dj liking himself to the style of Danny Pooch. But nobody could match Pooch. Danny Pooch was the best in Bklyn.

    I didn't mean directly after Pooch, I worked there years later. A lot of local DJ's tore up that booth. It was a fun club to work in.

    I DJ'ed there in the '80s, after Pooch. Great vibe, good people to work for. Closed shortly afterwards. Robbie - Night Gallery was on 86th & 18th - C'est La Vie was a completely different place - much smaller than the Gallery, but a lot of the same crowd and the same tensions.

    I think this place became another disco called "Night Gallery" around '77 or '78. For good or bad, it was a very 'Bensonhurst' club - all the same people every week - and a lot of tension among the guys over girls and other stupid stuff. A classic "SNF" Brooklyn disco.
