I’d give that award to Cornerstone.
Yeah closing Cornerstone wasn’t the best decision either, but I’m not mad at it because it resulted in 3 new concepts. And I’m biased anyway, I’ve always hated/avoided cornerstone since it’s common knowledge that they discriminated against black people. iirc, one time they didn’t let me in because I had ripped jeans on. I stopped going after that.

Pretty certain it’s still the same ownership, just new concepts, and bad management

All fair points haha - though I do think they could add netting around each table to look halfway decent compared to the crusty old pics of Fat Cat, for sure 
I went there to meet some friends for a couple beers. It was nice but it was SOOO loud in there. We had to yell to hear each other and my ears rang for a few days. I would go back but sit outside! Prob could use some acoustic ceiling mats of some sort.

They check the crime blotter and feed hysteria with a “news” story. Lazy journalism.

This is the block behind my building. It’s no surprise to me.
Well it looks like one of the larger parking lots just sold for Millions too.
TBJ says the parking lot at 42nd Street was just sold, but the restaurant will still open? not sure how that arrangement works.

I actually don’t think this is too crazy! And likely how they were able to get the funds to buy the 42nd St. Oyster Bar building itself to reopen it - I can imagine them keeping the entrance open, while redeveloping the rest of the rectangle lot - it’s practically the same width as the Link apartments across the street, so I can imagine a 5-6 story apartment building going up here, albeit likely with no included parking

Is that the actual parcel boundaries that sold, or you’re assuming?
Article just said “parking lot sold” so I’m assuming, here
That newly-expanded parking deck next to Garden West is a short distance from it. If they sold the parking lot to a developer, then people will have to park in the deck. Don’t know how that will work out if anything transpires.

SURPRISE! They’re actually just gonna build a 5-6 story parking deck on top of this parking lot, instead.
