Oct 28, 2010 | 7:23 pmThis place was heaven for me & where i got to idolize my mentor D.J. Raoul Soto. I used to love the import he used to play at the club called Tim Tom. I know because i had it. The crowd used to sing Dale Webo, Dale Webo, Dale Webooooooo! That was intoxicating!

Jul 10, 2009 | 8:18 amMan, Broadway 96 was the bomb! I use to go back in 81. That's where I first saw New Edition and nobody in the club were paying them any attention. They had just came out with Candy Girl. I loved it. The music was great!

Nov 10, 2008 | 8:42 amDuring the late 80s and 90s through early 2000s that was the salsa spot. Everybody who was anybody could be seen there, from time to time. Paul Rodriguez, Felipe Feliciano, Antonio Fargas, Eddie and Maria Torres (the salsa teachers) and of course the salsa legends, Hector Lavoe, Tito Puente, Pete "el Conde" Rodriguez, Frankie Ruiz and on and on and on...frequented this magnificent spot. The name changed to the Latin Quarters, but it kept the same vibe of the best dancers in the area coming out to keep that spot #1. I don't know what happened, but it should've stayed open!

Jul 03, 2008 | 6:38 amUsed to get in when I was just 16 in '82 (i just looked older than the rest of my boyz) and used to have a blast on those Fri/Saturday nights, checking out the females getting their webo dance on. Music was blazing and the crowd was jumping. Memories are a little hazy though, heh heh ;) They definitely had the hotties in there though. Great club...wish I could turn back the clock!

Feb 15, 2008 | 6:56 pmA classic New York 'Puta" bar. If you had money and/or drugs, you went home with a babe. Otherwise, just below average. A 4 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Oct 16, 2007 | 12:19 pmUsed to go there when I was a kid, DJ Raul, Lights by Devo. Sound by Notorious Starr Bros. EV loaded fiberglass horns w/ piezo tweeters on the top. Wasn't RLA but good for its time. They always had an open bar b4 midnight, mostly served bottom shelf...Tom Collins, screwdrivers, etc. My biggest recollection was the Webo dance contests where the girls would strip down to nutting and win $100. It was always advertised on KTU... Bamba La Bamba....

WOW!! Flashbacks!! I used to spin there back in the day with DJ Nelson Diaz and Raul Soto. My boys from back in Gotham 1 and 2 days! I was spinning a party at Broadway 96 the night that the original Gotham's got raided! If it wasn't for that party, I would have been in the DJ booth hanging out and probably gotten popped too! Glad to see that others remember this great club of it's day.
