Knitting Factory on 14th St?

Knitting Factory

According to NYC community board No.3's calendar, "Knitting Factory" applied for a "full liquor" license at 504-508 E 14th St. earlier this month. Will it be a new location because the current building is being sold? (thx david & drew)

word on the street is that they are actually looking to relocate in Brooklyn. Don't know how this plays into that.

a new Veselka on E 1st Street? That would be good.

That'd be perfect. I'm sick of the lack of options in these parts.

I believe that address 504-508 East 14th Street corresponds to the huge empty location that used to be Blum & Krup, a very long-time business in the area that used to sell all manners of electronics and appliances. Its quite a large store, and would be the only spot that makes any sense for venue like Knitting Factory.

The Knit's lease on Leonard Street is ending and the building is being converted to condos - ah well
