Pop-up party is over at Riff on the Bowery

Just catching up on a few items that I didn't get to this past week.

Such as!

Riff, the pop-up store at 313 Bowery, closed last Sunday.



The place opened last October and featured the rock-inspired clothing line called Andrew Charles created by Andy Hilfiger and Steven Tyler... (Tyler performed there during a grand opening last fall.)

In fact, the only thing left in the space is this cutout of Tyler with his daughter Chelsea...


Not sure what's coming here next... the Morrison Hotel Gallery was here for several years..

And, once upon a time ...

There was the CBGB Record Canteen and, later, the 313 Gallery.

313 had been on the market for months...


However, RKF has removed the listing...

    As reported in The SHADOW, where does the BRC, a tex-payer-subsidized allegedly NON-profit organization with board members from real estate and banking interests that rents 315 Bowery on a triple net lease, get off making a profit from the rental of the former CBGB space?

    Remember that it was BRC that got CBGB evicted, though owner Hilly Crystal had signed a lease with the building owner, not with BRC, which acted as a defacto landlord when it got CBs removed.

    A thorough audit of BRC's books is in order....
