Cafe con Leche (Sunday party)

Cafe con Leche was a weekly Sunday night party held at various nightclubs in New York City. The party's span was over seven years and continues to be celebrated with occasional reunions. It began at the Danceteria nightclub on January 1, 1993 and ended at Cheetah (formerly Sound Factory Bar) on July 11, 1999.

Cafe con Leche was famous in New York nightlife for its iconic latin house and tribal house music and for its notorious, seductive "mixed crowd," which attracted all sexual identities and races. Many top producers, DJs, promoters, artists, celebrities, and personalities frequented the party. In addition, the Night is recognized by many New York and non-New York nightclub veterans as the "best party" or "legendary" because of its lifespan, diverse crowd, and music.

The party was best known when it was at Club Expo (formerly Xenon), which was located at the historic Henry Miller's Theatre (now Stephen Sondheim Theatre) on 124 West 43rd Street, New York, NY (Times Square). On Sundays, Club Expo received large crowds well into the thousands, especially on holiday weekends. Often, this prompted street closure (between 6th Avenue and Broadway on 43rd Street) and heavy police activity. Although Club Expo received the highest attendance, the celebrated Sunday night fortified at Mr. Fuji's Tropicana, that was located on 13th Street and 5th Avenue in lower Manhattan. Other clubs Cafe con Leche held its weekly party include Supper Club, Speeed, Les Poulets, Cheetah (formerly Sound Factory Bar), Twirl, and Carbon.

From the inception, Cafe con Leche hosted many renowned DJs including Lord G, Derrik Foxx, Kris Spirit, Junior O, and Houdini; the first DJ to hold residency was Derrik Foxx. The music at Cafe con Leche started with house classics that later focused on latin house with the introduction of hard tribal house music. The party had two signature anthems, "It's Over," produced by Junior O and Prince Quick Mix, and "Cafe con Leche," produced by Junior O and John Kano; both tracks feature vocals by Joey Rolon. The bash also had a smaller hip hop and R&B community. This legion had a separate dance area at locations and usually blended with the main room congregation.
