macfunk19 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Twilo closed. Will Tunnel and Limelight be next? On June 20, the State Liquor Authority pulled the liquor licenses from Tunnel and Limelight. This decision in effect signals the end of both clubs and also casts a doubt on the planned sale of the clubs. Peter Gatien had a 7-figure offer for Limelight, but without the liquor license, it is doubtful that offer will stand. Without the sale, Gatien will be unable to pay back the millions he owes both his landlords and the federal, state, and local governments in back taxes. It looks like the case is headed to Manhattan courts for a final verdict. And to add a bit more humiliation to what was once known as the sparkling world of disco, Twilo's famous mirrored ball was put up for auction on Ebay for $5,100.

sobeton Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 being born and raised in new york . it would be sad to see, the clubs I first went to ,disappear. mayor Giuliani has declared war on clubs. While I am happy, that he has cleaned up times square, etc., his full out assault on nite clubs is asinine . the club owners have attempted to work with the city. however government officials, I'm sure have no real interest in this. nite clubs are the heart and soul of new york nightlife. this is giuliani 's last term in office; so I’m sure he wants to leave his mark on nyc. what he fails to remember, is that the nite club scene started underground, and all his efforts will take that scene back underground. if you look at things, from a financial perspective. eliminating nite clubs, will also reduce revenue coming into to the city of new york. it’s interesting, that among the other immediate issues facing the city. welfare reform, affordable housing, growing unemployment, etc. the mayor has decided, wiping out nite clubs is major a priority..peace, sobeton------------------ [This message has been edited by sobeton (edited 07-16-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp3some Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 It's all part of a natural cycle that brings balance to the scene... The return of a major venue like Twilo will have to start building up from the underground, making it fun and 'REAL'... In its latter days, Twilo was better than ever, but also as popular as TRL!!! I guess u can't have it both ways... We'll just keep on riding the curve, and wait for that upward slope that will bring NYC clublife back to the top... Meanwhile, we can walk around and enjoy other options, or even hang out down in Miami for a change...see u guys around! ------------------Peace, Love & Twilo for Everyone!!!

Guest crystalmethodny Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Just to clarify:LL and Tunnel were not a wannabe Twilo.Just two clubs that went the way of the poo poo...But take it from this NYer, Limelight WAS at one point, the best in NYC with the most ridiculous and debaucherous parties.Now I only stop by there to hang out and talk to the staff. LOLI think I have to move down to Miami soon, anyone hiring?------------------"Can you feel it?""In the hall, in the bathroom, in the basement, in the coatcheck... and even up the block, oops!""We're going to build things up slowly... are you with me?
