Demolition OK'd for former Nevada Smith's home


It was only a matter of time before someone filed the paperwork for the demolition of 74 Third Ave., the former home of Nevada Smith's. (The soccer/football bar will eventually reopen at 100 Third Ave. For now, Webster Hall is showing the games/matches.)

As of this week, the plans are on file and approved, according to the DOB.


The city had already OK'd the demolition of 76 Third Ave. So the pair of buildings and the temporary parking lot ...


...will make way for something that looks like ...

    SHHHHH Uncle Waltie! When new buildings are going up, the best I hope for is bland. The less adjectives an architect knows the better!

    I get passing a Spring/summer afternoon eating overpriced hotdogs/drinking overpriced beer at a ballpark (haven't felt any desire to do that since the new yankee stadium went up), but the attraction of getting shitfaced watching soccer on tv in a dark overcrowded bar on a saturday morning/after noon is just not comprehensible.
