Last night outside Le Souk

There was another nice party coming from the bowels of the former Le Souk space early this morning on Avenue B....




The evening also included a few fistfights. Per a resident, the bouncers at Le Souk kept yelling "Take it down the block, folks, just don't do it here." The door seemed to open at 1 am, and close around 4 or 5.





Meanwhile, the oddsmakers now say chances for a New Year's Eve party here are 3/1.
