For over a decade, one factor has been for sure in terms of the Met Gala after-party circuit: All roads result in The Commonplace Resort. The rationale? Some could say it comes all the way down to location — the resort is located atop The Excessive Line Park in downtown Manhattan, distant from The Metropolitan Museum of Artwork — although the extra possible motive? Something goes on the Growth Growth Room, the resort’s famed rooftop nightclub that has ascended into the collective consciousness of notorious after-hours hangouts talked about in the identical breath as Studio 54.
