Too young to know anything about 54 but sound factory limelight and the tunnel were off the charts in the late 90s. I grew up at the shore and always had fun in seaside and the meatheads were mostly pretty cool to hang with but there was no way to have more fun than the ny clubs. You didn't have to dress like a club kid to fit in, as long as you were comfortable and drinking bottled water by the case before u knew it you'd walk outside and it be light out. I've partied everywhere from rosarito beach to island to Ibiza and I put those ny clubs at the top
