Crash Mansion, that mysterious subterranean live music venue beneath BLVD is located on the famed Bowery on the notorious lower east side of New York City.

BLVD and Crash Mansion are part of the same entertainment venue ownership group. BLVD is located right at street level on the Bowery and Crash Mansion is for live music and private parties below the cavernous BLVD venue. Crash Mansion is a really good looking space, sort of a Rat Pack 1960's Vegas look for those who are students of pop culture architectural history . . .

BLVD/Crash Mansion features a world-class restaurant, café, nightclub, event space, live music venue and recording studio, all within one bi-level complex. 'Crash' as its known by the locals is famous in the live music industry for its high level technology computer controlled lighting and state-of-the-art sound installations.

Crash is able to seat 150 people or 300 guests if the host chooses cocktail style entertaining.

Crash is often used for CD or record release parties. Norah Jones opened the venue in late 2003 and even Beyonce Knowles has played here!

Did you know?

August 2008 - Did you know that the Broadway musical, "West Side Story" was originally set on the Lower East Side. Yes, it's true. The composers intended to write a musical based on the themes of Romeo and Juliet but featuring tensions in this New York City neighborhood between Catholics and Jews. It was to take place between Passover and Easter. The composers felt no inspiration from this setting and the project went nowhere. Arthur Laurents stepped in and suggested the setting change from religious to racial tension and a move to the upper west side and 'West Side Story' took shape.

August 2008 - The hotelier who is going to open the new Thompson LES Hotel, Jason Pomeranc was quoted this week as saying this of the day his hotel opens: "going to be a moment in time that will be remembered as kind of when the Lower East Side came of age." Tell that to the folks at the Mercury Lounge, Katz' Deli and WD50, all of whom might beg to differ!

July 2008 - The new Thompson LES Hotel missed its July 15 deadline to open on Allen Street on the Lower East Side. Around the corner from Stanton Street, the hotel promises a rooftop pool with an Andy Warhol mural in mosaic on the pool floor. Andy would have been so proud. Will we finally get to see Moby in swim trunks hanging out here on the roof?
