StreetLevel: New Cafe/Bar in the Works on 4th Ave

is that the spinoff of Bar Great Harry Bstoner wrote about a few months back?
I agree – that stretch defintely needs a solid “Faux-dega”!!
or a good solid market
Now a deli or/and bodega type stuff – that would be GREAT!
But what deli has performance space?????????
Unbelievable. I actually lived in that rat infested place and built it out with my roommate into a livable situation. The backyard was constantly bombarded by eggs and pork fat from the upstairs rent-controlled neighbors. One family lives in a majority of the building into the adjacent building, an incestuous rent-controlled utterly disgusting lot of individuals. We’d find bag of human feces thrown where our bedroom and kitchen was, constant urination on our front doors and harassment everyday. Eventually it got so out of hand they held knives to me telling us to move until the beat-down which dragged everyone through court for around a year. The landlord and super (the uncle) did absolutely nothing to curb the clowns in the building finally raising the rent to $3500 which led to my prompt moving. The amount of work, time and money I put in cannot be replaced — forget about the beat downs and constant negative energy from upstairs. A good name for the bar should be “Ass Clown Paradise”.
hmm – I’ve actually never been to Lyceum b/c it’s marketed poorly – there’s toooooo MUCH happening that I am distracted by
also the friggin scafolding being up for um like 6 years hasn’t helped either
they must have an ancient lease from 1987 that’s like $1000 a month or something to be in business
however, i’ve never been so perhaps they have some goodies
lyceum doesn’t seem to come up with a business model that works… anyway having the entrance up a flight of stairs doesn’t help much.
One of the workers at the site yesterday told me it would be a deli.
Yeah, good point gem. What do you think of Lyceum? I’ve been pretty underwhelmed with the place.
That sounds pretty cool…I need to move further down into the Slope or to gowanus. There’s magic afoot…
