Leave it to Edison Farrow to find an overlooked gem in the sandbox
we call South Beach. Up on 23rd Street, there was once a
gay club called the Cave, which later became the well-loved
Groovejet, before it was re-christened Rain—and which had fallen off
the nightlife radar for the past couple of years. Until Friday
night, that is—when Edison brought his one-time event Innov8 to the
tropical chic three-room complex. With its open-air lounge
surrounded by palms, their fronds gently waving in the balmy night,
and with Daisy D in the booth (and Britney onstage!!), Innov8 @ Rain
provided a perfect Friday night counterpoint to the same-old
same-old Lincoln Road shenanigans—because it’s always nice to kick
up a little sand in a new box.
