‘Next Gen NYC’ Star Georgia McCann Shares ‘Brutalist’ Vision for Club Club
Newly minted Bravo personality Georgia McCann might have had to put her plans for a bowling-themed nightclub on hold after she broke up with her finance bro boyfriend Omar. But she’s still hopeful that Club Club could one day become a reality.
On Wednesday, the Next Gen NYC star took to Instagram to share her vision for what she thinks could be Manhattan’s next hotspot.
‘Next Gen NYC’ star puts nightclub plans on hold
In the first season of Next Gen NYC, Georgia, a brand and creative events strategist, was laser-focused on developing Club Club, with financial support from Omar.
“I’m bringing, like, the idea, the creative, the team, eventually. And Omar’s coming in and he’s going to invest and find other investors as well,” Georgia explained to a producer.
Unfortunately for Georgia, her plans hit a roadblock when she and Omar broke up during a Christmas trip to Singapore.
“Life is so funny,” Georgia said in a TikTok shared at the end of the Next Gent NYC season finale. “Because one day you’re living in a $10,000 per month apartment and you’re with this man you think you’re going to marry. And you get into a fight one night and he cuts you off financially.”
Georgia McCann shares vision for Club Club
Without Omar’s money, Georgia has had to pause her plans for Club Club. But she still wants people to understand what she envisioned for the space.
“Due to popular demand… here are the renders for “Club Club” based on my creative direction and concept,” she wrote on Instagram.
Club Club would have three levels because it “emphasizes movement and variety,” Georgia said. The basement club level would “evoke the feeling of being in a drained pool – minimalist, brutalist.” The restaurant level is “inspired by the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and a train station in Berlin,” channeling “utilitarian, transitional energy into the dining space.” It also incorporates elements of vintage automats.
The top level would be home to an exclusive bowling alley. “‘Club Club Club’ … would be a FREE members only space which I would hand pick around 500 people who I feel are doing interesting things in NYC to be a part of … it would function as a ‘Third Space’ which NYC desperately needs more of – a place for impromptu connection,” she shared.
Georgia’s concept for Club Club didn’t quite click with her Next Gen NYC co-stars, and a trial run at a Brooklyn bowling alley in the season finale was kind of a bust. But her Instagram followers were 100% behind the idea.
“I found it weird that the cast tore apart this idea when at least you’re putting yourself out there and trying something,” one commented. “Found it disappointing that they weren’t more supportive.”
“This is so sick,” someone wrote.
“I’m glad you went through with this!” another supporter chimed in. “Always act on your visions regardless of what those close to you have to say!”
Next Gen NYC is streaming on Peacock.
