HOWL AT THE MOON Celebrated New Location in the Heart of Manhattan

Howl at the Moon toasted the opening of its 17th location in the country in Midtown Manhattan on January 20th. Howl is home to a high-energy, interactive music experience that's been a nightlife staple in cities across the country from Los Angeles, to Boston for the last 25 years. Howl's Musical Director James Nathan Hopkins along with his fiancé Debbie Christine Tjong and bandmates Khalil Overton, Danielle Boucher and Josh Lavine brought down the packed house, each playing five instruments in addition to belting out hit after hit in a show that didn't stop.

Guests in attendance got to request songs from these unbelievably talented "human jukeboxes" and then immediately listen, dance and sing-along to Frank Sinatra and Billy Joel classics, new hits from Drake and Beyonce and everything in between. At Howl, Brand Ambassador ChriS Prandy told guests that whether it's a Wednesday or Saturday night, you'll hear everything from "Uptown Funk," to "Living on a Prayer" in an energized atmosphere where guests are always encouraged to get on their feet. "Jersey Boys" star Nathan Scherich came to Howl at the Moon following his performance to the delight of the Broadway fans in attendance at the opening celebration.

To complement the music, Howl at the Moon's Executive Chef Hezekiah Johnson served up delicious Baja Fish and Al Pastor tacos, stuffed chili's and jalapeno corn bread. Howl's new NYC dinner menu boasts 9 different sandwiches along with 6 burger options like their Breakfast Burger complete with a sunny side up egg and 3 Little Pigs Burger with bacon, ham and BBQ pork.

Head mixologist Baylea Morgan, who has worked with the brand for the last 8 years, served fun-filled and fruity cocktails including signatures like the St. Germaine Lemonade and Sunglasses at Night. Instead of a bottle list, Howl boasts a shot list with options like Pineapple Upside Down Cake and Cinnamon Toast Shooter in addition to super-sized 86-ounce Hurricane, Painkiller and Fruit Roll Up buckets, perfect for larger parties. Howl also serves 13 rotating specialty beers and 17 classic favorites by the draft and bottle.

Howl at the Moon's newest location underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation to transform the space that once housed Lucky Cheng's into a state of the art entertainment venue. The NYC location features two floors complete with a mezzanine that overlooks the main stage below, two spacious bars and six flat screen TV's to catch all of the action. Howl was conceived to provide a 360-degree nightlife experience in addition to having the capacity and host private events for up to 600 guests.

Howl is now open Wednesday through Saturday with plans to expand to seven nights a week this spring. They are located at 240 West 52nd Street, convenient to the Broadway and Times Square.
