New York City has got its first “night mayor.”

City hall announced on Wednesday that Ariel Palitz, who owned the now-closed Sutra nightclub in the East Village, will be the first-ever senior executive director of the Office of Nightlife.

Bushwick Council Member Rafael Espinal, a longtime supporter of local nightlife and DIY venues, sponsored the legislation which passed city council in August and Mayor de Blasio signed into law in September. Espinal envisioned that the new office would help “bring nightlife out of the bureaucratic shadows” and deal with issues within local communities.
