Nightlife Tidings: Samuelsson Eyeing Lenox Lounge, EMM Group Eyeing Bowery Space (nymag)
**Just don't touch that facade.**
Harlem's 73-year-old Lenox Lounge ranks up there with the Subway Inn as one of
those New York nightlife institutions we hope will never change. Well, that's
perhaps not to be: DNA Info reports that the Lenox Lounge is on the market for
$20,500 a month and that none other than Marcus Samuelsson of nearby Red
Rooster is interested. The vacant next-door restaurant is also available, and
the two spaces could be rented together, giving potential tenants 3,285 square
feet in total. Samuelsson isn't the only party eyeing the space: The Pink Tea
Cup's Lawrence Page (who's opening that wine lounge, Auberge Laurent, in the
hood soon), told DNA, "I want it to be my next space and compete against
Marcus Samuelsson." Let's hope whoever takes the space retains its sense of
history as a place the likes of James Baldwin and Langston Hughes once
frequented.
And speaking of changing neighborhoods, the club-i-fication of the LES looks
poised to continue, with the news that EMM Group (of Tenjune fame) is vying
hard for the vacant space at 199 Bowery, as Bowery Boogie has it. Of course,
EMM is cloaking the potential future ...
