No. 24 's previous occupants included the cabaret Lucky Cheng's (1993-2012) and Club Baths, the first openly gay-owned bathhouse (1971-1983)... and Cave Canem and La Nouvelle Justine in between.

Woo! no sleep for neighbors for sure. Perhaps it's about time those creating these renderings consider some diversity.
