Studio 54 was the pulsating epicenter of 1970s hedonism: a disco hothouse of beautiful people, drugs, and sex. The club not only redefined the city after hours, it shaped the culture becoming the glittering meeting ground for uptown and downtown, high society and emerging gay culture, art and commerce, music and Hollywood. The journeys of Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell—two best friends from Brooklyn who conquered New York City—frame this history of the “greatest club of all time.”
