The Beaux Arts building that houses the Bowery Ballroom was completed a few weeks before the stock market crash of 1929. The Bowery Ballroom has earned its reputation as one of the most unique venues in the country. It features a midsize main hall and a cove-like downstairs lounge. The atmosphere of the Ballroom is grandeur targeted that never quite hits its architectural mark. statue of liberty graphic

It is a top stopping off point for garage rockers, indie strummers, jam bands and various other groups on the fringe. But still, larger stars have also enjoyed playing here as to remind fans that they still have an 'edge'.

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?
