Inside New York’s wild celebrity-packed nightclub scene through the years from the funky 1970s to the naughty noughties

NEW York City's wild, celebrity-packed nightclub scene has been revealed in pictures, from the funky 1970s to the naughty noughties.

The likes of Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Andy Warhol, the Rolling Stones, and Diana Ross graced the dance floors of the legendary Studio 54 in midtown Manhattan, Danceteria, and Red Zone during the seventies and eighties.

Club kids and denizens like Michael Alig, Richie Rich, Nina Hagen, Sophia Lamar and Genetalia partied up a storm at Club USA in the nineties.

In a decade dominated by Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, the a-lister party girls headed to downtown club L and The Plumm in the early 2000s.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian, who has since become a household name, was pictured hanging out at the likes of Club Retreat in downtown Manhattan back in 2007.
