mik-e_smilez Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 Popular NYC nightclubs to be auctioned By Associated Press NEW YORK, August 6 - Two Manhattan nightclubs that have long been trouble spots with police and New York City officials will be auctioned, according to a published report. The clubs, the Tunnel and Limelight, will be auctioned off to the highest bidder in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 13. Peter Gatien, who owns the troubled nightclubs, has said he is ready to end his years-long battle with City Hall. City officials have complained that the Tunnel is a magnet for drugs and violence.In April, a 16-year-old patron was stabbed to death in a parking lot near the Tunnel. Two years ago, an 18-year-old died of a drug overdose there. The Chelsea nightspot has become a central target in Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's aggressive nightclub enforcement effort.Before bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber ordered the auction sale, Gatien said in June that he was ready to sell the Tunnel privately and move on -- needing to pay off taxes he owes the state. Gatien's debt includes more than $5.7 million in state taxes and $2 million in back rent.Gatien doesn't own the buildings, but the court will sell the club's names, leases, equipment and liquor licenses.

theorynyc Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 First of all....do not believe everything you read in the papers because that is the biggest load of horse shit I have ever read. Peter is not selling or auctioning the club what-so-ever. Recently Peter squared up with back taxes that were due to the city and is legaly on perfectly stable ground with Mayor Guliani. If you want the truth you should consider asking a source close to Peter himself rather than spreading some NY Tabloid around like it's the holy bible.

cotoncandydream Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 I tried staying out of this but I just can't. These are places that used to be my home. I love how people that have been there 5 minutes think they know stuff. KYLE it's true, done gone!! Peter hasn't squared shit he filled for chapter 11 a cople weeks ago and when you do that it is public record. SO are decisions made by Judges. That's how the press knew. AND yes KLINGER who is Peters lawyer confirmed it. Oh btw Kyle don't say things like from Peters mouth because he doesn't talk to you. SO say from John's Mouth or Dave's but not Peters.BTW before you guys start advertising OAKIE try clearing the $80,000 check Peter has to give him before he confirms.
