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.

    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?
