Nightclub To Be Starbucks Or Duane Reade

Josh · 05/07/07 05:42PM

It wasn't too long ago that clubbers would play Frogger across 7th Avenue South, shuttling between Movida on the west side and Luke and Leroy on the east. But those days of giddy crossings have been put down, ever since Movida closed. Now that space will soon be occupied once more. By what you ask? Another skinny hipster club, perhaps? No, unless you have a very lax definition of the words "skinny," "hipster" and "club."

Amy Sacco To Sell Condo Lifestyle

Josh · 05/07/07 05:24PM

Amy Sacco, mother of Bungalow 8 and once the Glenda the Good Witch of nightlife, not only recently bought a penthouse in a new financial district condo complex called District, she'll create its "lifestyle backbone," according to the sales manager. With units going from from $700K to $4 mil, there better be a lot of backbone—more than just dayroom and free cereal. The sales manager also mentioned mysterious "talks" with restaurateur Steven Starr to open a restaurant in a 12,000 square foot space. When Sacco opened Bungalow, she brought striped shirt FiDi ass-vacuums to Chelsea. Maybe now at least they'll be staying down south where they work—and maybe we'll see just how much Sacco likes them swarming under her window. —Josh
