Gaia Lounge at 103 E. Second St. between Avenue A and First Avenue was served with an eviction notice on Monday…
Seems as if they weren't here all that long. The hookah bar was the spawn of Temple of Ankh on Clinton Street, which BoweryBoogie reported was "an establishment with the apparent distinction of garnering the most complaints in all of Community Board 3."
CB3 denied Gaia a beer-wine license back in March due to the hookah bar's connection to Temple of Ankh, per BoweryBoogie. (The applicant was apparently a waiter from TOA.)
Feel free to leave your favorite memories of Gaia Lounge in the comments.

I'm hooked on hookah. Was is that anyway?
Let me guess, they weren't busy enough?
Good! One less bar!
The guys in there were incredibly nice - much more pleasant and gregarious than at Hade-Bade, the other hookah bar 2 doors down. The vacate order just showed up in the last day or two, but they abruptly shut down about a month ago - not enough business.
