Steven Lewis blogs on 100 Lafayette ('the next great club')

Larry Golden of Pianos has partnered with Spencer Sweeney and Andrew W.K. for what an insider friend of mine is calling the next great club. They’ve been trying to get this lower Manhattan (Lafayette Street) venue/club open for about three years now. There’s a lot of talent here, so maybe it’s true. The space is great. I looked at it with Greg Brier and Arthur Weinstein when it was an art gallery, but the hurdles seemed insurmountable for my clients. I asked my insider if it was going to appeal to the more monied of the Williamsburg hipster crowd and I was told ‘better than that.’ Surely this crew wouldn’t attract a bottle service patron. I was told that the upstairs will be this ultra hip venue and the club downstairs will change life as we know it. Congratulations may be in order for Larry, Andrew, and Spencer and very hopefully for all of us. I could use a great club again and somebody else to run it.
Good Night,
