No one likes to see another music venue shut down, but it's happening again, people. Grub Street declares, "We hear an off-Ludlow music venue with high ceilings, a mezzanine, a basement, and a capacity of 300 is trying to sell off the remaining eleven years of its $15,000-per-month lease. The tavern-club hybrid, once a destination among rocker-hipsters as well as the young glam set, comes equipped with cabaret and liquor licenses." This has to be Fat Baby or the Annex, but have either actually ever been a destination for rocker-hipsters? Maybe in a "we could see it being used as a generic backdrop in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" or a "the cast of the Real World Brooklyn may have gone there" kind of way. Anyway, LES, take either as your sacrificial lamb, just keep your greedy paws off of Cake Shop.

Please be Fat Baby.
The crowds at the Annex the last couple times I went seemed to be mostly tourists. The LES is changing so quickly, even hipsters are starting to stay away.
Tonic was the last of the great music venues in Manhattan. Everyplace else is stale. There aren't any venues scheduling shows like Tonic did in Manhattan. I wouldn't miss Annex or Fat Baby. At times Glasslands in Brooklyn reminds of Tonic.
