The former Saxon + Parole space is for lease on the Bowery
The for rent sign arrived yesterday at 316 Bowery ... officially bringing an end to Saxon + Parole's tenure here at Bleecker.
As noted a few weeks back, the Equestrian-themed restaurant was one of many in the neighborhood that had remained dark since since the PAUSE went into effect in March — this despite ample outdoor space for sidewalk dining.
S+P opened here in September 2011, replacing the company's Double Crown restaurant. They've kept busy by opening an S+P outpost in Auckland, New Zealand last month.
As for No. 316, the listing doesn't mention the asking rent for the space (upstairs and downstairs!) that totals 6,600 square feet.... along with the tagged (multiple times) Shepard Fairey Blondie mural.

RBG for 1st and 11th
Here's an in-progress look at the new RBG mural going up on the southwest corner of First Avenue and 11th Street... the mural is by @ellestreetart.
Earlier this month, workers removed Shepard Fairey's "Rise Above" mural that had been on this space for the past four years.
And as several people have already noted, this will be quite the contrast to the Michael Jackson mural on the southeast corner of First Avenue and 11th Street...
Thanks to William Klayer for the photo... and to Lola Sáenz for the initial tip!

On the Bowery, an homage to the Alleged Gallery era
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivxVYKJTZaB6KRFQXHdlrCABlrTzn-jXrrxDQ53E8gxOKX48Tx1qfO4Liz_oFTBYLuGP2kNYWbTD3w5dde9WqWLUFvwxSGOcYVD65DjKvcNQMsYpIW1i10YJX8qVmomv1ePnGh8Zl4RUQ/s400/unnamed.jpg)
Over on the Bowery, the exterior of the Hole has been transformed, complete with the original signage from Aaron Rose's Alleged Gallery, which had a 10-year run from 1992-2002 on Ludlow Street.
The transformation is part of a gallery exhibit that opens tonight here at 312 Bowery near Bleecker titled "Now & Then: A Decade of Beautiful Losers."
Per the Hole website:
The “NOW & THEN: A DECADE OF BEAUTIFUL LOSERS” exhibition venerates the 10-year anniversary of the ‘Beautiful Losers’ documentary that made its US premiere on August 8, 2008 at the IFC center in New York. "Beautiful Losers," directed by Aaron Rose and Joshua Leonard, captured the characteristic spirit of a community of artists affiliated with the Alleged Gallery [at 172 Ludlow St.]. ‘Beautiful Losers’ depicted a community of artists including Barry McGee, Ed Templeton, Mike Mills, Thomas Campbell, Jo Jackson, Shepard Fairey, Chris Johanson, and Margaret Kilgallen during the Alleged Gallery era.
The exhibit is up through Sept. 1.

Oh, on second thought, André Balazs only paid $67.5 million for the Cooper Square Hotel
And not the $91 million that was previously reported. This news comes via Roland Li at the International Business Times. Read it here.

Death becomes him
Hey now. Just catching up with the Times of New York from the other day... The newspaper reviews Shepard Fairey's Deitch Projects show. And what does the reviewer think?
"On the walls of an art gallery, his efforts look like death warmed over."

Posse officially in Effect now with the Beastie Boys on 14th Street and Avenue A
Photos by Daniel Efram
Work is wrapping up at the new mural on 14th Street at Avenue A featuring the Beastie Boys (Posse in Effect).
As previously noted, Shepard Fairey (below), in collaboration with the Lisa Project NYC, created this stories-high work from a photo by East Village-based photographer Glen E. Friedman.
The mural is part of the ongoing celebration of 50 years of hip-hop.

This afternoon, there was a dedication ceremony featuring First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and local City Councilmember Keith Powers ... and Lisa Project co-founders Wayne Rada and Rey Rosa (you can watch the broadcast here) ...
Last month, the city officially co-named the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Beastie Boys Square on the Lower East Side.

The district stretches down Second Avenue, which is now referred to as "Little Dartmouth Gangsta's Paradise," due to the habits of the khaki-clad worthies who clog its congested sidewalks of an evening, alternately issuing mating shrieks and vomit.

The Joey Ramone street sign returns to Joey Ramone Place
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkozfpg08h2zMlL9F8b3gy0AcrnNTpHczfnYfyVxORW_BXdyG2PzDJNJi2J6QC_xf2fcRPyNwhAH-LCOmUpzJjDxRiY-Ht_cdrcKCEVv8c-Rw0GYj9UVVDy6wDMd118OoSff7-09je650/s530/unnamed-2.jpg)
[Photo from this morning]
After nearly a month-long absence, the city returned the Joey Ramone Place street sign yesterday afternoon (H/T Jessie Malin!) to the northeast corner of the Bowery and Second Street. (This block of Second Street is co-named for the frontman of the Ramones.)
It appeared that the light pole on this corner was under repairs. (Plus, the street sign looked as if it had been bashed a few times.)
The sign first went up in November 2003. The sign remains pretty high up there ...
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialAf_P90OVfh47GZED5wxTM8aJTZhI6fQmZH9s_hlMNpcSYlcV9G8Iso1gTU1ZW5RRK78BBB3J92sG8r-t1UGn-zsaXBnJt0KRBbJJOlxH6U0xhTsJvomZ-g20CMZSQMDTIFk7Ot_CMs/s530/unnamed-2.jpg)
[Photo from this morning]
This placement happened several years ago after the sign was previously stolen a half-dozen times. So workers raised the sign to 20 feet. Standard street signs are between 12 and 14 feet off the ground, per the Post.

Meanwhile, the two-year-old Joey Ramone-CBGB 40th anniversary mural a block away at Bleecker and the Bowery has been painted over in place of a Debbie Harry-Blondie mural by Shepard Fairey. Will post on that a little later.
