Yesterday Curbed quietly pointed out that the West Village residents were rallying against the Jane Hotel, particularly the establishment's plan for a rooftop bar. Rumor has it neighbors were promised entrance to the place if they would just STFU, but since late last month they've been airing their complaints on a blog called Nightmare on Jane Street.
The neighbors are bringin' the big guns, and not just with that blog; word is they've "retained a lawyer and are petitioning the State Liquor Authority claiming that their original license claimed the club would have 'background noise only.'" When something similar happened at the Beatrice Inn, the doors were shut forever.
Keep up with the NIMBY's white whines over at the Nightmare's Twitter feed; recently they Twote: "Looks like the Sex and the City mobs from earlier today have started sauntering west to the Jane. oh joy." While the Daily News reports "The typical weeknight crowd includes a plethora of celebrities," it also includes large crowds, smokers, loud music and endless taxi lines. It's too bad 'cause that place sure is pretty.

Can't be much louder than the punk rock shows they had there in the 80's
Except they were not held on the roof.
They usually close a lot of the rooftop bars earlier if theres an indoor section as well. If they offer the same concession, It can work.
For all the talk about how "tough" New Yorkers are, they sure bitch a lot.
Its what we do. Complaining helps take the edge off.
These people rent in Manhattan. What the hell did they expect? Can't always have your cake and eat it too, people.
Anyone who has watched the slow, painful 20 year demise of the West Village(RIP) and didn't sell at a huge profit is an idiot. Anyone who moved there in the last 10 or so years is getting exactly what they deserve. Economic and social Darwinism at it's finest.
