Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin have spent the last 20 years helping shape NYC nightlife, but these days, they're best known as the owners of Nowadays in Ridgewood, Queens – which is, in many people's estimation, the best club in New York right now. Justin and Eamon are also DJs and are the hosts and residents of long-running parties Mister Saturday Night (also a record label), Mister Sunday, and an ambient chill-out affair called Planetarium.
