DBTH Poll Results: Box is Stank

After posting the second DBTH poll asking what you think of the Box, the results are in and the people have spoken. It seems the Box isn't all that cool, with Stank and Rotten getting over 50% of the total votes. Dead on the vine actually came in second. Sorry Ray. Thanks for playing everyone.

Signing the Box

Poor The Box. Simon Hammerstein and Serge Becker's theater du nightclub really specializes in getting poor press. After Joshua David Stein's page turning expose in this past Sunday's Page Six the Magazine revealed the seedier side of the club, may had us wondering what else could possibly happen?

According to a report on Animal New York, "Now someone is going around and warning the public about the club's bouncer Gans, claiming he's an alleged "DRUG PEDDLER" and that he "RAPED TWO WOMEN." Well, that certainly is no good.

See what happens when you try to be different? We have always supported the Box for at least trying something in the staid atmosphere. But really, it seems to be just a matter of time before the other shoe drops.

Anyone Want (to represent) Some Box?

Even after one LB's proclamation that the Box is still smoking hot, we come to find that all may not be well at the pseudo vaudeville club on Chrystie Street. According to an in the know Little Birdy, Simon and the boys are having some behind the scenes trouble. Apparently they can't find an attorney to represent them! In New York! OMG! Our LB says, "The Box maybe not so hot actually. i hear they are looking for new representation. nobody will take them though b/c they are such a disaster -- girls being kidnapped and raped outside, celebs stopped going, and simon is a complete mess." But is he a hot mess? Or just trannie fierce? Jk. Anyway, if any of you eager beaver attorneys want to break into the business of nightlife litigation, make a bee line to the Box with a box of business cards. We smell an opportunity.

BREAKING: La Esquina Reopens

A note came over the Hipster Wire Service so important, we deemed it worthy of an evening post. Little Birdy says, "The downstairs at La Esquina has reopened. I ate there last night before I went to the Box. Both were fun." WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. The downstairs at La Esquina is back in action. We confirmed it ourselves early this evening just to be sure. Give them a call tomorrow between 10-5 to make yourself a reservation.

British Love Them Some Box

A few issues with the City haven't stopped Simon Hammerstein from conducting his bidness. A Little Birdy on the other side of the pond dropped this British Bombshell, saying , "Simon Hammerstein is in London taking meetings with local nightlife heavies. He is there scoping out places for the Box." Taking the vaudeville act international. Now that is some bold thinking. It's tough to know how the Brits will react, but judging from the international contingent that frequents the Box's NYC location, we think it may be a big hit.
