Who's bumping you on the sidewalk? In case you missed it, take a look at the results of my sidewalk-bumping survey.
I know The Back Fence is being chased out due to the standard drastic rent hike (aka being located on Bleecker), but it's still booking acts through August from what I understand.
ReplyDeletesorry if this has been covered already and I missed it, but has anyone heard any news?
Nick just posted on facebook that they're selling all their stuff, all but crushing my hope that they'll reopen elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly sad.
it was probably on your blog that I read some speculation that the linking of the bway laffayette to the uptown 6 plus expansion of the station entrances might lead to the closing of the subway sandwich shop, well i walked by there on Saturday and there was a sign saying they are closed for good and thank you for 10 years of support, i don't really love subway but at least it was something people can afford to eat as opposed to $400 jeans or whatever else shows up there.
