Say Bon Voyage to Studio B...For Now

Greenpoint's Studio B has allegedly been shut down; good news for some neighbors, bad news for some patrons. The Brooklyn Paper writes of its demise, saying it has "now been shut down by the Department of Buildings — but club lawyer Ken Fisher says the club has fixed whatever led to the failed inspection." No specifics have leaked, but the DoB shut the club down on July 31st, following the CB1 meeting that ended in a vote against the club's cabaret license. One local told the paper, “It’s gratifying to know we won’t have any problems for a while. But it’s not as if I’m wishing the club disappeared off the face of the earth forever. I look forward to see what’s going to happen next.” Probably not a popular opinion amongst most residents, who have been trying to shut the club down since it opened its doors in 2006. Meanwhile, Fisher says he's awaiting the DoB to re-inspect the establishment.
