Sad Times for the Bea

Weeks after proclaiming that the Beatrice Inn would arise from its shuttered state like a dancing Phoenix, our favorite old girl has yet to open for business. One Little Birdy with more than a bit of snark writes:

I walked by good old Bea last night to see it completely dark with a large plastic trashcan still guarding its exclusivity which seemed to have been carelessly thrown down those holy stairs that once embodied everything to hate about NYC nightlife. What a shame, this must be really heartbreaking to those across the river in Williamsburg. Unfortunately, I was only at Bea' once because my jeans were never tight enough, my shoes never bright enough and my penis never small enough.

Zing. Adding to the misery, last night's rumored Save the Beatrice party II at the Bowery Hotel never came together. Misery does indeed love company. At least we have the Chelsea.

Remembering Le Baron

Photo Courtesy of CoterieDidn't make it to Le Baron this weekend? Too bad. New photo blogger Coterie was there to cover all of the juicy action, and has shots of all of your favorite faces. Our favorite was this one, which is apparently Mischa Barton. Looking good MB! The shots represent a snapshot in time of what it's like to transplant Paris into New York or blah blah blah. Blah blah.

On the Circuit: Belvedere IX

Last night, DBTH braved the wind on the Bowery for some free-flowin' Belvedere action at the launch of Belvedere IX. We are suckers for Le Baron aka the bar at the Bowery Hotel, and it failed us not. For entertainment, a screen involving a Belvedere IX cartoon character (adorbs) flashed above the dimly-lit bar and the Belvedere folk packed the house with cool kids while Paul Sevigney spun some excellent hipster-friendly tunes. We tried all of the cocktails, including a "deconstructed mojito" involving cotton candy which the southerner among us likened to a mint julep; and an "Andres Palmer" which came in its very own bottle, ala upscale Smirnoff Ice. Specialty shots abounded with a jello shot (ah, college) and a smores shot with a huge, perfectly burnt marshmellow (ah, sleepaway camp). Our collective sweet tooth and nostalgia effectively satisfied, we left happy (and drunky).
