Robert Verdi Gets A Show, And Support From Friends Like Fern and TinzTinsley Mortimer, Lower East Side Pioneer, Is In The Doghouse
Back when we eulogized The Annex, we knew little about its fratastic replacement, Doghouse Saloon, other than the beer pong and free hot dogs on offer. (Talk about a swiney combo!) Now comes word that alleged uptown socialite Tinsley Mortimer graced the Orchard Street sports bar while shooting Empire State, her upcoming CW reality show. Will Doghouse prosper from exposure on the tween network as other downtown venues Antik and (token dive bar alert) 151 did on the CW's Gossip Girl? Its owners sure hope so, as they're under the Dinkens-era impression that the LES is the great hidden gem of Manhattan.
The Saloon's press release alerts us to the fact that "No longer are the top Manhattan venues located in just well known locations such as the meat packing district but can now be found in the once forgotten LES." Time to hitch your wagons parked outside of Lotus and make your way down to the island's final frontier, ladies and gents. And hurry, because in only a month, Doghouse has already "helped make the LES become one of the hottest spots in Manhattan." And you wouldn't want to miss out on the gritty fun before the nascent 'hood loses its edge to a wave of generic Sigma Nu satellites.

I have seen them absolutely everywhere. I do not think that they are not allowed into places. I also do not believe that it was Tinsley at this bar since I was with her that night. I do think she should stop having the publicists feed this site. I'm sick of hearing her name already.

The Doghouse is a breath of fresh air on the LES. This place is a lot of fun, in a young, energetic atmosphere.
Staff are friendly, cheap drinks, and a game room.
Don't be afraid of change this place is def an asset to the community.

uh ya, saw here filming she was the only one in there. and if you ever saw the inside of this place that scene will def be cut. i'm all for change but this place isn't even good as far as frat bars go. its always empty the prices have gone up, and the place is so bright. its just really lame in the worst ways. i'm shocked she filmed there and i wont be shocked when it closes.
