Well, I once went her with my boyfriend and one of his female friend two weeks later he dumped me to date her. So I don't think I will miss this place.

Hasn't the Meatpacking district been the new Hoboken for about 7 years? I mean when was the last time anyone from NYC actually went there?

I have a great new name for the Meatpacking District! How about Macy's!!! or Bloomingdales! Blah! I stopped going there when Pastis started playing Vivaldi at lunchtime. My mom goes there.

prohibition did not work. 2 am closings will not either. I suppose I won't care if it happens in 5 years from now though. I'll be too old to hang out till 4 am anymore. I'm curious why the meatpacking district is getting attacked so heavily. They killed Filter 14, The Village Idiot, The Hog Pit.. I'm sure Hogs and Heifers is on the radar. NYC = The New Disneyland.

2 AM closing times? that means 1:30 last call. this could bring back the after hours bars.

New York will not be New York if we don't keep our bars open until 4 AM. I have embraced all of Mayor Bloomberg's initiatives to "clean up" NYC, but the 2 AM liquor licenses are the worst idea I've heard in a while.

If he wanted to keep us compliant, wouldn't he be better off letting us get as drunk as we wanted? And if he were an anarcho-capitalist and wanted unchecked power for businesses, wouldn't he let bars stay open as late as they wanted?

First it's corporate surveillance cameras on every street corner; now it's 2 A.M. last calls to keep us sober and compliant. That sneaky bastard. Bloomberg is not an independent, he's a two-faced Anarcho-capitalist. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

How is this Bloomberg's fault?

I've never been able to understand why people are so complacent about Bloomberg. Granted, Giuliani was awful, but Bloomberg is a truly terrible mayor, as well.

Shhhh... keep it quiet. 57th Street is the new old Meatpacking District. The Upper East Side is the old new Lower East Side. Episcopalianism is the new Buddhism. Sinister tea is the new old artisanal gin martini.
