Leaving us no chance to attend the meeting to hear their proposal. Sounds more like wine, music, people gathering and talking, possibly music,... how will that effect us neighbors?

That I know of they never came to the residents and let us know they understand we live here too. Other businesses proposing to come in had done that.. due to the history and what we all lived through for 15 plus years with No Malice Palace. However, at this point, perhaps no one let them know about the history. That said, if it's a nice place - best of luck to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-18099511466060134482019-07-18T04:20:45.600-04:002019-07-18T04:20:45.600-04:00I am so proud of my best friend and her fiancé (wh...I am so proud of my best friend and her fiancé (who met in a book club, hence the name) for following their true passions in life. For anybody who mentioned this might be a disguise please follow their Instagram page to see everything they are currently reading- they are truly passionate about books. I am just so devastated that I no longer live in NYC to see their sweat, tears, and dreams become a reality and to claim a seat every evening. Good luck to two beautiful humans- East Village, you are in for a treat. lhumphreys7855https://www.blogger.com/profile/17124080472289255437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-73247290508792495612019-07-17T10:08:06.701-04:002019-07-17T10:08:06.701-04:00I can only applaud the initiative of people who ar...I can only applaud the initiative of people who are willing to undertake the uphill fight to open, and make a success of a small business. From what I see, in Book-Bar the books are a disguise for yet another coffee shop / bar. Many book stores (McNally-Jackson for one) have hitched their wagons to a cafe in their stores. I hope we are not being tricked into yet one more bar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-66397710960433581442019-07-16T18:23:21.284-04:002019-07-16T18:23:21.284-04:00Thrilled.
