Oh No, Not Rififi

Could Rififi's days be numbered? Is the famous Friday night Trash party coming to an end? The answer, unfortunately, seems to be yes. A Little Birdy writes, "Rififi's is closing! Their liquor license expires Oct 31 2007, they haven't applied for a renewal, and they just got hit with some heavy fines (30 grand?) and a license revocation by the SLA. The cops and the fire department busted them for all those crazy parties promoted by Shaw. And it's been on the market for at least six months here. Where are all the underaged NYU hipsters going to dance now?" Why, they will just go to Lit of course. But this is still bad news. Everyone has had a list "one of those nights" at Rififi, and now it seems this year's freshman class will be the last. And that's sad.:(

More on the listing later today.

  2. From the horse's mouth.... RIFIFI is not closing. Every bar/club/lounge's liquor license expires every 2 years. The renewal process is simple and quick. No fines have been imposed as of yet on RIFIFI. Don't believe the hype!

    Also RIFIFI has a no tolerance policy on underage drinking. If you are underage please do not attempt to gain entry to RIFIFI, you will be denied.

    Please rethink the content of this post, it is inflammatory and has very little truth contained within!

  3. they're closed now. that's sad. maybe they'll turn back time and re-open as the coffeeshop it originally was, with old movies in the back. that would be cool.
