Visana is on its way to becoming New York’s Swankiest Speakeasy Lounge. As an insider, I took a peek at the invitation to this extravagant party. Girls like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid are on this list. Hot bad boys like Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and Jonathan Cheban. Some of Gotham’s startup millennials Jon Steinberg, Aditya Julka and Alexander Gilkes make the list together with other A-Listers slated to be in the city that weekend.

Many NYC players in the game have been invited here. Multi Platinum producer Moe Faisal will be present with more than 5 prominent guests in the industry. Rumor has it the star of the TV series Empire might make an appearance. Leading CEOs and Fashion Icons will be attending. Who will show? You never know.
The fact is that the chamber will be crammed with movers and shakers. It’s gonna be a fun night!
