Staff gathered late Sunday afternoon outside the Pyramid Club on Avenue A between Sixth Street and Seventh Street to celebrate its 41st birthday.
The Pyramid, a defining club of the East Village scene in the 1980s, has not been able to reopen since the PAUSE went into effect this past March.
"We thank our friends, patrons, and the EV community for all the love and support over these past decades," club manager Maria Narciso told me. "You are part of what’s keeping the Pyramid spirit alive during this global pandemic."
There was also a Veniero’s carrot cake to mark the occassion...
To pay tribute to the club, Michelle Joni and friends boarded Glinda the Good Bus for a selection of 1980s music along Avenue A...

Happy (Belated) Birthday to the Pyramid Club! Here’s to many more!
Happy birthday! So relieved Pyramid is weathering this crazy year. Can’t wait to come back, dance, and celebrate the end of this pandemic, and all the other crap associated with 2020!
Nirvana played there

Happy birthday Pyramid 🔺Love you, miss you. You’re my first stop for 80s & darkwave once you’re open again and I get my vax 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I actually came down to Pyramid on March 14, intending to dance my tail off at DefCon...and found that the place was closed! The absence of those parties nags at me like a sore tooth. I can hardly wait until we achieve some sense of balance and normalcy in our world so we can get back to it. I have no doubt that we will!
Happy Birthday, Pyramid Club! Glad you're still around. :-D
The German singer Nico lived on the second floor in the late 1960s. That floor is now offices, with residences on the top two floors.
