The Eldridge…Setting DBTH Straight

But here’s a little juice you didn’t. Thanks to another superstar Little Birdy, we learn that “Cole Bernard the owner/partner of the famed club Runway is an investor/partner in The Eldridge. -DBTH

Well Congratulations Scott Solish! You got it wrong again! I just spoke with Matt Levine. Not only is Cole Bernard not an investor/partner in the Eldridge, he is not even one in Runway either. His involvement in the Eldridge is simply ordering alcohol for Matt Levine. The owners are Matt Levine and two professional athletes who would like to remain silent partners.

I love how you want to impugn the integrity of others and then just print fairy tales and half truths. And as for you and all the other sites, keep the vitriol coming. You/they are not the target audience and will be standing on the sidelines. You are probably the same people who complained about the Waverly and couldn’t wait for it to shut down. Last night at our dinner at the Waverly, we shared a toast for you and your comrades who were outside on the sidewalks.

    Note to Ashley Simko. A business card does not make a business owner. If that were the case I was seriously underpaid when I worked at Calvin Klein

    I’m not quite sure what Waverly has to do with the price of eggs, but I do chuckle at its mention here as a cultural touchstone. In fact, when I think of these two-Scott and Na’eem–in a restaurant frequented by media, entertainment and artistic somebodies–I am reminded in contrast of just how mediocre they (and this blog, and this entire ridiculous argument) truly are. The thought of them in a room full of this city’s cultural elite trying to hold their own causes a delightful squeal.

    It is appalling that I’ve even followed this childish kerfuffle this far, but how could I not? The audacity, shameless self-promotion and pitiful lack of self-awareness exhibited here is truly breathtaking. From the mere thought of such ridiculous pox on Manhattan nightlife (Eldridge), to the weak, duplicitous and intelligence-insulting defense raised by the editor of this blog, at every step the absurdity ratchets up to heretofore unforseen heights.

    No one who matters knows, or cares, who any of you people are. In my heart of hearts, I truly wish that this abortion of culture and entertainment succeeds so that all of you may enjoy its nouveau riche, high-school-cafeteria social environs, and leave those of us with something to say (and apparently, with something to do), at Waverly. You’ve created a lovely online space here for the aggressively boring, vapid and socially ignorant, and I hope you all enjoy your new LES hangout.

    I can’t believe how pitiful the people who write this blog are. I thought DBTH was filled with fake-elistist BS but you guys take it to quite another level.

    kerfuffle? is that like a queef? so you are sitting there tittering as you pass gas out of your vagina? i just wonder about people who spend obviously what must have been hours for kory to construct such a critical masterpiece and then waste it all this online space for boring, vapid and socially ignorant people. Kory Welcome Home!!!

    Cole Bernard IS an owner…in fact he owns EVERYTHING. AND hes the f’in MAN!!!! DONT F AROUND YALL!!!! ELDRIDGE will make you want to get in so bad you will offer BJ’s on the sidewalk on line! BUT GUESS WHAT. THERE IS NO LINE, THATS HOW COOL ELDRIDGE IS!!!!!!!!

  6. BillyBobNo Gravatar - July 23rd, 2008

    JIMMYJON, your an IDIOT. eldridge is NOT cool. I will NOT offer HEAD to get in on the sidewalk. and there will be a line. a HUGE LINE!!!

  7. PRIMO SALANTRANo Gravatar - July 23rd, 2008

    Ahheem…ahhheeeem…excuse me. I know Jimmyjon and Billybob both really well and I will tell you all this. DONT listen to them. theyre both really not cool, smart, or credible when it comes to the hipster lifestyle. I on the other hand am the king of everything that is HIPSTER. I hear that the ELDRIGE is going to be just o.k. not great, not terrible, but all right. you prob. should check it out. if you can get in that is bc i hear matt is a dingy ling dingy face f’in loser who may be a lil picky at the door. if your not cool, rejected! if your too cool, rejected! if your too beautiful, your getting pummled by the bouncer. so take a good look in the mirror before you hit this new spot “nestled” in the lower east side. its just mediocre. nothing to write home about…

    So shamelessly pretentious. Please look in the toilet next time you take a shit and realize that, indeed, your shit does stink.
