Vanity Fair editor and restaurateur Graydon Carter spilled some details about the resurrection of the Beatrice Inn, restaurant and once-hot spot (before the D-list moved in) that closed in 2009. But it doesn't seem like Chloe Sevigny has any reason to root for it anymore.

Beatrice Inn Reopening With A Little Help From Graydon Carter
The hot-for-a-hot-second Beatrice Inn has been closed since 2009 and the names that made it famous have moved on to other hot-for-a-hot-second restaurant-cum-nightspots. So naturally it is time for the Beatrice, which was once a restaurant and before that a speakeasy for many a year, to make a comeback. And, since he's already got one Village Inn on his resume, you probably won't be shocked to know that Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter is involved in the new Bea.
Is the Beatrice Inn Making a Comeback?
The Beatrice Inn shut down earlier this year after neighbors had enough of the A-list crowd partying it up at all hours. As the same war is being waged by neighbors of the Jane Hotel, against their late night ballroom antics, word is that the Beatrice may reopen.
Whit Stillman, Filmmaker
Whit Stillman's 1998 film, The Last Days of Disco, has been restored and re-released on Criterion this week. Its ensemble cast includes Chloë Sevigny, Kate Beckinsale, Chris Eigeman and Mackenzie Astin. Tomorrow night, Stillman will appear at the Walter Reade Theater for a screening of the film, and a real life disco party will follow in tribute.
R.I.P. Beatrice Inn?
Despite the efforts of Chloe Sevigny's t-shirt, it looks like the West Village's Beatrice Inn, which has been closed since April, will not reopen. The NY Post reports that in order to get the party started again, "they'd have to pay $23,000 in fines, install a fire door that matches the period exterior of the building, and put in a sprinkler system." And since their liquor license runs out next year, and will not be renewed at that time, the owners have decided to call it quits. Looks like the neighbors win this one. In the past they had complained about the club, including the late-night traffic that streamed into an apartment upstairs which was used as a VIP lounge for the often A-list clientele. Owner Paul Sevigny even moved one such neighbor into the VIP lounge apartment rent-free when he complained about the noise in his own residence, which was above the noisy dance floor.
Beatrice Inn Classing up Atlantic City
Earlier this year it was announced that a Hamptons for Hipsters was about to take shape in Atlantic City, courtesy of the Beatrice Inn boys Paul Sevigny and Matt Abramcyk. The two have taken their aesthetic and transferred it over to The Chelsea's 5th floor, which houses a game room, several lounges, a pool, patios and a restaurant. But you know what they say: you can't take the New Jersey out of Atlantic City.
