About Stylus, a private members-only club coming to the Lower East Side

A private members-only club is in the works for the under-renovation 48 Clinton St. between Stanton and Rivington. 

An EVG reader shared the photo below... in which reps for the new concept, Stylus, placed notices in adjacent buildings.

The unnamed applicants will appear before CB3's SLA committee on May 13 for a liquor license for the space.
According to the document, "Stylus is a unique, purpose-built listening and gathering club for the curious and creative in the Lower East Side neighborhood." 

The document goes on to share some background about the applicants, who are "medical entrepreneurs and art veterans in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors."

And!
The family, whose love for music and art encompasses generations and continents, created Stylus with the intention of sharing artistic and culinary experiences with a vetted community of art enthusiasts, colleagues, and friends in an elevated environment.
Stylus will take up residence in the basement and ground floor, featuring seating for 60 and a listening space. The "curated food and beverage program" will include "thoughtfully crafted small plates, each uniquely designed to seamlessly complement the focused listening experience while highlighting the fleeting beauty of seasonal ingredients." 

The proposed hours are 9 a.m. to midnight daily, with a 1 a.m. close on Fridays and Saturdays.

The May CB3 meetings calendar has not been posted just yet.

No. 48 was once home to LoHo Studios, where artists such as Joey Ramone, Willie Nelson, Phish, Patti Smith, and Joan Jett recorded. The building was also one of two local properties previously owned by entities of the Blue Man Group. 

In 2018, Dr. Arani Bose, co-founder of the medical device company Penumbra, reportedly paid $5.4 million for the property.

  3. A Warning to Our Neighbors

    We, a group of nameless individuals speaking on behalf of our client, Stylus NYC AKA Stylus AKA a cutting tool, are applying for a private members club - think SoHo house minus the celeb appeal, pool and view with a big helping of bloody ribs.

    Stylus, the private club - not the cutting tool - is for the curious, creative and listening folks of the Lower East Side. Can you hear us? Full of screams, our otherwise unremarkable building is known for being the rehearsal space for The Blue Man Group as well as a known hangout for Donald DeFreeze and Patty Hearst (who should not be confused with downtown icon Patti Smith.)

    The proud founders, who insist on anonymity, are experts in both the medical field - think Dr. Lechter - and art scene - perhaps Damien Hirst - adding to the intrigue of this mysterious ambulance-to-table Francis Bacon bacanal.

    Curated food and beverage means you'll be paying uptown prices for black market meals, yet it will all seamlessly compliment a listening experience.

    And what are all of those screams we are listening to?!?

  4. Not so much a 'cutting tool' unless you mean 'cutting a record'.

    "Stylus" means a writing tool, or a phonograph needle, these days.
