Juliet: Tripped Out Funhouse

Here is the first look at Juliet, the new restaurant/lounge space that is a partnership between Jon B. and Todd English. Purple couches, crazy lattice ceiling, small tables, mirrored columns. Now this looks like the kind of restaurant that we would like to eat in! Doesn't it just scream Sunday brunch or first date? [Via GoaG]

Greenhouse vs Provocateur: It's On

We all know that Iron Mike Satsky and Mark Birnbaum were not the best of the friends, but a new battle is brewing between the Champ and Brian Gefter at Provocateur and Jon B., Barry Mullineaux and the Greenhouse crew. It seems that the Greenhouse team has bought the URL's for Provocateur and pointed them to the Greenhouse website. BURN! When asked for comment, a rep for Provacateur said, "This is like Payless stealing the Christian Louboutin domain name." DOUBLE BURN! Of course, Barry used to work with Satsky and Gefter at Stereo before teaming up with Jon B. at Greenhouse, and they will be going after the same clientele. But Provocateur is smack dab in the middle of the MPD, and Greenhouse is by the tunnel. Advantage: Provocateur! Maybe they should get Seven On Their Side to get their URL back. [NYP]

Home and Guesthouse Check Out

Another blow for 27th Street, as a Little Birdy tells DBTH that both Home and Guesthouse are now officially closed. Back in 2006 and 2007, Jon B. was flying high with the larger Home and more intimate Guesthouse, but the street became a shit show, and the bottle business and customer base simply vanished. Mr. B has relocated his game to Greenhouse, but these closings will certainly help push him further up the Least Important List. So let's all pour one out for Home and Guesthouse - we ain't gonna miss you.

The After Hours Party

We left you hanging a bit longer than we promised on that whole after hours thing. Sorry about that. But many of the commenters guessed that it was Greenhouse right away, so we figured the rest of you could wait a bit. From the looks of things, the weekend heat didn't slow things down there one bit. We received the above Tweet on Sunday at 11:30 AM, telling us that the Saturday night party was still going strong. God bless those youngsters who have all of that energy.

Don't forget, everyone is invited to follow DBTH on Twitter. Join the fun.
