Sometimes things are too funny. For instance, we had a great time getting everyone pumped for El Bano, including our humorous little interview with their "management". But apparently some people are still holding out hope that there really is a new secret lounge that is only accessible through a bodega bathroom. Here are two recent emails we received:

• Has El Bano opened!? Any word?
• What's the deal with El Bano!? I'm sure everyone wants to hear more, havent heard of anyone going. Plus anyone  worthwhile will clearly be at The Eldridge! Fill us in please.

So yes, what is the deal? When will the rest of the non-blogging world have a chance to get their key? Will there be real gold flakes in the cocktails? We sit on the edge of our seats, begging for more information. But only because our readers clamor for it, not because we really give a hoot.
