Last Call for Lotus
As we told you in November, Lotus will give way to a new restaurant and lounge space by the old Mr. Meatpacking, David Rabin, and realtiveNKOTB Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum. Lotus helped pave the way, and whatever replaces it will probably be forgettable. Eater has the word on the final festivity, sp here's your chance to celebrate Lotus one more time. Take the early Jitney home and head on down.

I think I might cry!
i popped into lotus this weekend, just because i was in the area, felt a bit nostalgic, and wanted to see it one last time.
i walked to the upstairs mezzanine and noticed a "secret room" of sorts to the right of the bar that i never knew existed. it had a key pad on it, and i noticed that some people (who obviously knew the code) were popping in and out. i stood by the bar for a bit just to get a peek the next time the door opened and some 6 ft model type walked out with a glass of champagne in hand - i looked in and saw a bunch of sofas and tables with candles set up all over.
i've never noticed this room before. obviously its monday now and no little birdies will ever be able to check it out as david rabin begins his "demolition", but if anyone knows anything, it would be interesting to hear...
