Work continues at 100 Third Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street... The address, which once belonged to the Lyric Theatre in 1910 (and much later the men's XXX Jewel then the Bijou and eventually the mainstream Cinema Village Third Avenue), has been under renovation for years. ... looks like an additional five floors.
Some day, the address will also be the new home to Nevada Smith's, which vacated its previous location one block to the south last November ... Nevada Smith's is on the February CB3/SLA docket for a liquor license here.
Anyway, a worker left a door open at 100 Third Ave. and...
Well, looks as if there's a lot left to do on the ground-floor space where, presumably, Nevada Smith's will live...
Per the DOB, the building was zoned commercial ... and it was re-categorized as "F-1B - Assembly (Churches, Concert Halls)." I suppose this is a type of worship.
Anyway, for now, Nevada Smith's is moonlighting at Webster Hall.

Nevada Smiths is no more why bother create something that died 2 yrs ago. Firing your long time staff will come back to bite you in the ass. Your loyal supporters left with them all you have now is a name they built up for you and tourists.
ReplyDeleteThat was never the bijou, the bijou is located & still running on east 4th street between bowery & 2nd ave
ReplyDeletePer Cinema Classics:
ReplyDeleteIn the 1980’s it was re-named the Bijou and continued to play male XXX films. In 1988 the city closed it down.
It was remodeled and re-named the Cinema Village Third Avenue with the revival format moving here when the owner of the Cinema Village tried to make that an X house (with the name Cinema 12). That lasted less than three months and the original Cinema Village returned with independant films for a short time using the Cinema 12 name and then Cinema Village.
This theatre then changed it’s name back to the Bijou Cinema and switched to a first run format opening with “War of the Roses”. By 1992 with all the competition from the new Loews Village and Village East, the theatre quietly went back to adult films.
@ anon. 10:26 AM and college kids and B&Ts. Lunasa and soon Smithfield are where the long time staff and loyal supporters are now, and better
ReplyDeleteYour right on the button essquared. Lunasa is where Kieron is and what i hear about Smithfield itl have ken and Tom George and Juan where Kieron will also join them.
