As you may have heard by now, the NYPD shuttered Max Fish on Friday night, the latest in its LES nightlife clampdown. (The Lo-Down had the story first.)
The folks at Max Fish sent us an email:
Max Fish was shut down by the police Friday night. We're figuring out a plan of action, but for the time being, we've created an online petition here.
Per the petition:
Max Fish opened on Ludlow Street in 1989. We have nurtured and supported the Lower East Side arts community for over 20 years — a community that is increasingly threatened by a variety of outside sources including landlords, real-estate developers and the NYPD. Your signature shows support for the continued existence of a vibrant and positive establishment — one that embodies the creative spirit of the LES and elevates the quality of life for the community.

We'll be seeing a lot more of this from the 7th precinct. There is a new executive officer and night life is his stock and trade.
I just signed the petition. Sad to see Max Fish shuttered.
We really need to get NYPD out of our culture. I know this is a police state but still....
