M2 loses its liquor license. Alegria moves to Pacha
Unfortunately, the city has managed to get M2 liquor’s license suspended. You can read more about the Bloomberg’s administration latest stab at New York’s nightlife on Steven Lewis blog. While M2 is fighting to get its license reinstated, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen in time for Memorial Day. As a result, Alegria will take place at Pacha, which is actually the place formerly known at Soundfactory where the Alegria parties started 10 years ago.
Im gonna bet that the fascists and anti-nightlife radicals are gonna try to prevent this place from reopening,period!We saw this same thing happen to Club Spirit on 27th street.Speaking of which,Ive heard past rumors about Spirit reopening but as usual…the club has NOT reopened.I can understand the bottle service clubs were a big problem…and lets face it,bottle service clubs are some of the very reasons we lost some really good clubs.Underage drinking,violence,rape,murder,rowdy drunkards,thuggish cops,and disgruntled neighbors are why we lost a few good spaces.I preferred M2 when it was Crobar and Spirit (the former Twilo/Original Sound Factory) were 2 fun spots on that square block radius.
Lets not forget we had 2 chances to bring ROXY back and got fucked out of both opportunities,thanks to the these anti-nightlife radicals.
The whole thing has gotten beyond ridiculous.Now Im hearing news about Splash Bar being the new target for the homophobic NYPD.The NYPD,Community Boards,and city officials have gone completely out of their minds and this city is doomed.
