Report: Last night for The Living Room is Oct. 26 on Ludlow Street


The Living Room sent out word last night that the live-music venue's last day at 154 Ludlow St. will be Oct. 26, via an email published by The Lo-Down.

It’s hard to believe we have been here on the Lower East side for over 16 years. First on the corner of Allen and Stanton and for the last 11 years here at 154 ludlow. We were hoping to announce our new location, but we can’t do that at this time. Steve and I are continuing our search for a new home for the club. We will keep you informed of our progress.

Back in May, Living Room co-founders Jennifer Gilson and Steve Rosenthal were unsuccessful in getting CB3 approval to take over the soon-to-be-former Klean & Kleaner laundromat on East Second Street. (Read the background on this here.)

The Living Room had received several lease extensions for 154 Ludlow St. earlier this year, as BoweryBoogie has reported.

    They were such good neighbors on the corner of Stanton and Allen. The current residents, Epstein's Bar, have made my life a living hell.

    Wall windows open wide, loud music, woo-ing and cheering whenever the team makes a score, a loud clanging bell for god knows what reason, and the loud bbq ribs smackers drunkenly yelling to each other in conversation.

    I practically have Epstein's on my speed dial to shut the f*ck up! And I've called 311 on them oh at least fifty times since they've been here.

    If any of my neighbors are reading this, please just call 311 too every time they make a disturbance.

    I hope the find something in the East Village. It's a great venue for singer-songwriter types.

    Too bad they couldn't take over 100 Ave A and its theater space...I can still dream.

    This is tragic. There are so few venues like this anymore.
