While we wait to find out more information about all the applicants on this month's CB3/SLA meeting (Monday at 6:30 p.m.), including ...
• Lakeside Lounge (La Ritt Inc), 162-164 Ave B (op)
...we did notice that workers have finally taken down the sign and painted the former Lakeside Lounge on Avenue B near East 10th Street ... the popular music venue closed in April after 15 years...
In reporting on the closure,
New York Music Daily wrote that the Lakeside "will be replaced by a gentrifier whiskey joint, no doubt with $19 artisanal cocktails and hedge fund nebbishes trying to pick up on sorostitutes when their boyfriends are puking in the bathroom – or out of it."
That just seemed to be just an angry reaction to the Lakeside's closure... there's nothing
official, but we did hear that someone involved with Niagara would be taking over the space... Meanwhile, if you have any tips, please let us know via the EV Grieve
