The Box Fights Back

Recommended Posts

After weeks of being pummeled online by former employees and its many detractors and having the Community Board rail against their application for a liquor license renewal, owner Simon Hammerstein decided it was time to fight back. His weapon is a sit down with superstar Styles columnist Allen Salkin to say that these accusations are totally false, explaining “We don’t have a prostitution ring here.†That's good to know. Hammerstein and his partners have a 25 year lease for the Box, but the odds of them making it through at this rate are slim to none. Even though the show is always evolving, the club is not. New Yorkers are no longer showing the same interest in the venue, and we predict another year or two at most before the curtains close one last time. It's not that anyone is against the concept of a club with live performances, it's that customers don't really like the Box. There is a difference. [NY Times]
