The Urge aims to move to Avenue B

This month's CB3/SLA Licensing Committee meeting is coming up on Monday ... we continue to look at some of the applicants in advance of that meeting ...


• Urge (Prince 28 LLC), 14 Ave B (op)

This has been a popular space for applicants in recents years ... CB3 has shot down various concepts here between East Second Street and Houston, including a 3,000-square-foot bar/restaurant "with an occasional D.J." and the brewpub that borrowed the Prime Meats menu...

The applicant now is familiar to the East Village... The Urge, the gay bar/club currently residing at 31-33 Second Ave. ... Not much information on the application ... the space has an occupancy of 74... they plan to have DJs... and they're hoping for hours of 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. seven days a week, per the application. (Same hours as the current location.)

Not sure what's officially happening with their current space at 31-33 Second Ave., where Ben Shaoul is planning a three-story addition to the current building.

The meeting is 6:30 p.m. Monday in the usual place — JASA/Green Residence, 200 E. Fifth St. at Bowery.

    Yeah the EV has become disgustingly hetero in recent years. We need our gay establishments desperately to scare off the drunken bimbos stumbling in their designer knockoff heels.
