I'm sitting in the Australian Convicted Pedophile Rooftop Bar drinking handcrafted curated cocktails with my personal mixologist, contemplating a thinkpiece I'm writing for Rolling Stone about a mid-level band struggling with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom. And if you happen to be walking by right now it's not raining outside, that's just us, a bunch of good-looking classy drunk people pissing off the rooftop onto the unlucky peons and bottom feeders down below, just like Adam Purple would have.

Those victims still are dealing with that trauma (decades later).

Unique opportunity to own a rooftop bar named after a Lower East Side gardening icon who was later accused of molesting his children. Lots of foot traffic on weekends, with plenty of inebriated people and tinder hookups looking for a hotel room. Other uses include condo conversion, a giant private high-rise mansion, or an NYU Dorm. Serious inquiries and rich suckers only please.
