It's been a while since we heard anything about the Jane Hotel, whose ballroom was shut down in October after numerous noise complaints were filed by locals (who also became a press force to be reckoned with, armed with a blog and Twitter). But today their worst nightmare may be coming true: the Jane's ballroom is reopening! Dun dun dun.
The Jane Hotel's Ballroom Set To Reopen
The Jane Goes From Ballroom To Courtroom
When the Jane Hotel first entered the neighborhood, Community Board members say they were enthusiastic about the ballroom, having "visions of people reading from their new works in an elegant salon." While the March sisters may have found parlor readings of contemporary literature a satiating social experience, the Olsen twins represent the Jane's real clientele, and we're guessing they don't read much Murakami whilst making their late night rounds.
Jane Nightmare Moves to West Street, For Now
While the Jane Hotel undergoes some "minor physical adjustments" after their loving neighbors had them temporarily shut down, Eater reports that other local establishments are picking up the slack. Here's a list of where to go in the neighborhood til the Jane reopens, but the Rusty Knot is actually hosting the hotel until further notice.
After Neighbor's Crusade, Jane Temporarily Closes Ballroom
The Jane Street Hotel may be oh so pretty, but it has spurred an ugly battle on the street. Yes, after a full-on, balls-out attack on the hotel, the residents of the street have allegedly won... for now. We're told by a tipster that: "The Jane Street Hotel is now closed until November due to the violations and they have a sign on the door that its because of internal issues." This comes after the hotel was "raided" over the weekend.
Jane Street Residents Drag Dogs Into Their Fight
The Jane Street NIMBYs have been pulling out all the stops lately, and their latest stunt brings them offline. Yes, this sign is suggesting dog owners walk their dog right over to The Jane and encourage them to pee on it. To be exact, it says: "Let's face it, every dog needs to do his thing. But when doing it, why not also let him show The Jane Hotel exactly what he thinks about them running an illegal club in a quiet residential neighborhood?"
Jane Hotel Gets Raided!
The nightmare on Jane Street continues, though it still remains uncertain if the real nightmare is the Jane Hotel, or the wealthy NIMBYs who are unleashing every city agency upon their new neighbor.
Jane Hotel Just Won't Shut Up
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.
