Noted


In case you didn't already hear/see this everywhere earlier today... CBGB is opening as restaurant in the Newark Airport. (No one noted which terminal.)

Per Grub Street:

What exactly pre-flight dining has to do with the seminal punk institution is not clear, but it was previously reported that Harold Moore, the otherwise-celebrated New York chef had been recruited to handle food duties at this strange business. And a quick glance at the menu reveals that the people behind this outpost think wedge salads and turkey clubs served in a fun environment will make diners nostalgic for that time they saw Bad Brains rip up the stage for the first time.

And to some mostly negative reactions on Twitter...







Anyway!

    Looks like a hot spot for "Uplifting Gormandizers"

    Yeah, I hope they have a high stage with no steps—and an open-mike night for all those wannabes.

    CBGB will reopen - for a few days in a club during SXSW in Austin ("city-as-theme-park capital of the world"). After a couple years of success at that, "CBGB" will be franchised, with furnishing/fixture/decor kits (like those "Irish pub" theme-bars use), in cities all over the world ("broken toilet" prop fixtures included).

    Get a grip on reality people. The patrons of CBGB do not have a say in what the owner of the name/company/brand does with it. Most of you don't even know who Hilly was or what CBGB stood for. So don't make a big deal out of a new business bearing the famous name. It is not for you to say. In fact, why not be happy that the name will actually live on in reality and that the owner has found a way to make a living again. Be happy for them.

    Get a grip on reality 10:44 am. You do not have a say in how people respond to news like this. People are allowed to express their thoughts and feelings. It is a free country. Be happy for them.

    I.m sure 10:44 AM will be up in arms if 13th Step were to close and years later were to open in an airport in Podunk, U.S. of A.

    CBGB was operating out of Las Vegas for years before the dive on the Bowery finally closed. And they've been selling stuff on the internet for even longer.

    Some people seriously need to see a doctor about their horror of their childhood disappearing. There's no reason to suffer for so many years when there's medicine that can help you.
