M2 Ultra Lounge Shut Down...Again

...Spoke too soon! First the city moved to shutdown M2 UltraLounge for being a "smokeasy," then it went through with it, then it made an arrangement to re-open it—and now it's shut down again. The NYPD showed up at midnight last night, just before their NFL draft party got underway (hosted by Deion Sanders!), and ejected 300 or so people inside. A thousand people lingered outside hoping for a miracle...to no avail. This time, it was shut down allegedly because of lax security. So much for "good faith agreement."

There are probably a lot of people from New Jersey who are quite disappointed by this turn of events.

plaxico shot himself at latin quarters, which is on 47th & lexington (I think). I'm not 100% on the street, but its very close to there on lexington.

No.

"So much for "good faith agreement.""

The fact that not only did they Deion Sanders to be there, but that he was being paid to be there would provide legal basis to void any prior agreement.
