Profile

In October 2002, a Parisian-style bi-level bar opened in an old piano shop without bothering to change the sign. Since then, it's been sucking multitudes of chic rock-and-roll scenesters out of Brooklyn and back down to the Lower East Side, forcing jaded locals to hole up at nearby Max Fish and bitch (yet again) about the unwelcome invasion—before trickling down the block themselves once they're good and drunk.
