BKLYN Yard Shuts Down - Sunday Best Moving On.

BKLYN Yard has been forced to shut down by their longtime landlord less than a week after they kicked off the season with a weekend of opening events and following yesterday's appearance in the NY Times.

E-mail message from Eamon Harkin below:

Hello All

I am heartbroken to tell you that BKLYN Yard, the home for Sunday Best for the past two years, has ceased operations. The landlord of the space notified the management company yesterday that he would no longer honor the lease which had been in place since early this year. (You can read the story here.) Justin, Doug and I are still trying to make sense of it all, but while we're doing that, we're working on other plans to keep Sunday Best going.

For now, this Sunday's party with DJ Koze will be at Littlefield and all the pricing and timing details will be the same. We'll let you know as we have updates for following weeks, but for now, rest assured that we won't stop until we have a home that makes sense for this good thing we've got going on. Every loss presents an opportunity.

Please pass this message along.

Many thanks
Eamon

Limelight's alright but where's the party?

I had a great time tonight partying at the sneak preview of Limelight Marketplace. Celebrities included Jill and Bobby Zarin of Real Housewives of NYC, Richie Rich of Heatherette, Bill Widdicombe (NY Daily News' Gatecrasher fame), Michael Musto, Andrew (Kelly Cutrone's assistant) from People's Revolution and Bravo's "Kell on Earth" and some chick from "MTV's The City."

The entire venue reminded me of a sterilized Henri Bendel's which I guess was the ultimate intention--bringing Upper East Side "flavor" to Chelsea.

Brocade was beautiful but difficult to find.


After having visited the Brocade showroom, a reporter from Budget Travel asked me for directions to the showroom. I had no idea how to direct her--I was that confused.

Despite the fact that I lamented over nightlife's time past, missing the New York City of my teen-aged years, the original stained glass was a nice reminder of what used to be.
