Bottom Line Nightclub in NYC Evicted
After more than thirty years in the same building, a judge ordered the eviction of the Bottom Line nightclub in Greenwich Village and the return of the space back to its landlords, New York University.
The club actually had no lease, and owed reportedly $190,000 in back rent to NYU.
A lawyer for the club said that the club would re-open in another location. He said, "What makes the Bottom Line is not the building. It's the people who run it."
So... okay... "the people who run it" owed almost $200K in back rent (and that's after companies like AT&T and Sirius Satellite pledged over $285,000 to help keep it open) and never even went about getting a lease... so what's the lawyer trying to say?
