Thinking about Coyote Ugly (currently shuttered)

As I reported last night, the DOH has shuttered Coyote Ugly on First Avenue between Ninth Street and 10th Street... I imagine it's only temporary... I'm waiting to hear back from a CU rep...


Coyote Ugly opened in the East Village on Jan. 27, 1993, and spawned a worldwide empire ... and I realized last night that I've only ever been there once (and, oddly enough, I was with my dad...). As much as I like cheap beer and denim shorts, it seemed too fake gritty for my taste... and there is that whole "tourist trap" stereotype associated with the bar... especially after the movie... Maybe I'm wrong? I'll go back.

DOH closes Coyote Ugly

Last night, I noticed that Coyote Ugly was closed during prime happy hour time... (Noted this via Twitter)


...and this evening ... the gate is up, revealing the DOH sticker....


They scored 40 points on their last DOH visit in December... the major violations:
Sanitary Violations
1) Food Protection Certificate not held by supervisor of food operations.
2) Raw, cooked or prepared food is adulterated, contaminated, cross-contaminated, or not discarded in accordance with HACCP plan.
3) Evidence of mice or live mice present in facility's food and/or non-food areas.
4) Filth flies or food/refuse/sewage-associated (FRSA) flies present in facility’s food and/or non-food areas. Filth flies include house flies, little house flies, blow flies, bottle flies and flesh flies. Food/refuse/sewage-associated flies include fruit flies, drain flies and Phorid flies.
5) Food contact surface not properly washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any activity when contamination may have occurred.

Imagine they'll be back open soon enough...

Coyote Ugly's Sweet Sixteen



Good lord, has Coyote Ugly really been there on First Avenue near Ninth Street for 16 years? I don't think I've been there in 15 and half years...

So what I have missed?



And of course!



Man! Has there ever been a more accurate portrayal of moving to NYC?

Fitness secrets of Coyote Ugly bartenders -- REVEALED



Yes, it's the Ab Lounge!


I walked by this discarded Ab Lounge on First Avenue twice this morning...and each time someone stopped and futzed with the thing for a moment, as if he might seriously bring this home. They wisely moved on. And this other guy stopped and took pictures of it...Oh, wait.
