Limelight New York was an iconic nightclub that was a defining force in the city’s underground scene in the 80s and 90s. The club famously operated out of a repurposed Gothic Revival church on Sixth Avenue. Upon its opening in 1983, it quickly became a hub for artists, musicians, and the infamous Club Kids. Known for its wild fashion and boundary-pushing nightlife, Limelight’s legacy is deeply tied to the rebellious creatives of that era. Although the club eventually closed its doors in the early 2000s, its impact remains an undeniable and important piece of NYC history.

Original Limelight t-shirts like these are rare relics from a time that few could experience firsthand. They feature a range of bold graphics as well as the club’s signature branding. With so little memorabilia surviving from its peak, items like these have become highly sought-after, representing a legendary piece of New York nightlife history.
