"The newly renovated Pussycat Lounge is reportedly reopening next year, according to the NY State Liquor Authority. Robert Kremer, the owner of the nearly half-century-old topless lounge on Greenwich Street, informed the S.L.A. about his plans to reopen the bar soon, after repairs to the building's interior are finished.New York City shuttered the bar last October, saying the building at 96 Greenwich Street was unsafe for occupancy. Contractors were hired to start fixing the building in November.
Community Board 1 approved the renewal of the lounge's liquor license at the Financial District Committee meeting last Wednesday.
Ro Sheffe, chair of the Financial District Committee, said the bar has been a good neighbor overall, and has caused very few disturbances in the community." [Downtown Express] (via)

Awesome. Co-workers and I used to hop in there for lap-dances and beers on our lunch breaks from work.
Good times.

Totally off topic but the last time I was at the Pussycat Lounge , there was this amazingly annoying couple who were not only talking during the whole show but were talking about TMI info. The guy kept asking her "Do you like my seven and a half inches? Do you like my seven and a half inches? Is it the biggest you've ever had?" Yeah bro you're cool.

Tom Jones is legit. If you ever find yourself in Vegas, don't miss his show.

I hate to see old establishments in downtown Manhatten to be closed for good. Glad they made it safe enough to open back up, even if it IS A TOPLESS place...*sigh*
