Boarding up Sutra



Sutra Lounge closed for good back on Sept. 10.

The bar/lounge at 16 First Ave. between East First Street and East Second Street had been on the market for several years. (Sutra, owned by Community Board 3 member Ariel Palitz, reportedly had 659 311 complaints — apparently the most for any bar in the city.)

Coming together behind the plywood is a sports bar from the owners of Murray Hill's Mercury Bar and Tonic East, as BoweryBoogie reported in July.

Sutra has closed; big sports bar on the way

Hmm, could it be the community board is absolutely corrupt and the source of the problem? No wonder there are 6 new bars and counting on my block in the past 5 years.

Congratulations Ariel! That is super impressive. Any comment, CB3 [ineffectual, useless] chairperson Gigi Li?

Which broker closed the deal, any idea?
