And, not until I took the photos above, did I ever realize there was some place called JD's Bar on the second floor...
And where exactly is 2U (U2) Karaoke in this funhouse?

When will this insanity stop?? I just read today that the unemployment rate is now the worst it's been since WWII. Who has this kind of money?
I don't see why this real estate firm gets to sell a liquor license with the place when the City needs the money. If you close up shop, the license should go, and then the new folks should have to buy their own. Local citizens are being robbed.
Bowery Boy I don't understand your comment but I agree with the sentiment. No matter who owns the license, the state still gets their $5k or whatever every two years or so. It's not the state that loses the fee, it's the landlord and the former owner that get the big payoff. With apartments it's called key money. With liquor licenses it's called buying a business, except the only asset they are buying is the license.
