Blogging For a Flogging: Samy Sass Stays Out

Looks like the Flogging can happen all the way out in the desert. A Little Birdy checks in to set the record straight about Lavo, saying "You recently mentioned that Sammy Sass was partnering with Noah and Jason on their new Vegas project Lavo. He actually has nothing to do with the project." Hmmm, we guess our original source was off, because this LB would certainly know. Oh well, no one is perfect. Consider ourselves corrected and in some pain.

Blogging for a Flogging: The Spotted Pig

Thought you could pull a fast one on us, Little Birdy? Thought we wouldn't find out? Guess what? We know. We know everything. Here's how. After reading last week's post on the new restaurant by the folks from the Spotted Pig, a Big Birdy clarified a few things, saying "The seafood version of the Spotted Pig is not going to be ready until Spring of 2008. It's name is also the John Dory, not the 10 Spot." Well, that takes care of that. But waiting for Spring 2008? We want it to open now! And for you LB, if we ever see your beak around here, we'll make sure you never sing again.

Blogging For a Flogging: Stereo

It happened again. We aren't the brightest bulb in the bulb tree, and sometimes we get things wrong. And when we are wrong, we want need to be punished. SEVERELY. This morning we discussed the possibility of Stereo being for sale. A special little birdy with a special little singing voice sung us a clarification song. Apparently, there is really a bar called Secret Lounge. Sounds lame, and since its for sale, it probably is. No matter. Our birdy says, "The Hard Sell venue is actually called Secret Lounge, though I wouldn't be surprised if Stereo was thinking about packing it in too." Oooh little birdy, you're as bad as we are. Maybe you want a flogging too.

Blogging for a Flogging: Gemma

We admit, we're not perfect. And when we're bad, we deserve to be punished. In our excitement over the possibility of Freeman's being a part of our favorite new hotel, we got our facts mixed up. It seems Taavo and the crew will not be operating Gemma, the new spot at the Bowery Hotel. Mr. William Tigertt from Freeman's checked in to say:

Taavo did the design for the Gemma restaurant at the Bowery Hotel as the architect. We do not own it, or are not going to operate it. It will be run by the same chef/group that does the Maritime Hotel, Bowery Bar, and Waverly. It has no association with Freemans.

We've been a bad blogger, and we're ready to bend over and take it. We promise to be good.
