From our tip box: Holy Moly! Just when we thought it'd be YEARS before we'd see another club opening up in this recession, we finally get the full story about PM's resurrection in Meatpacking (50 Gansevort), a rumor we've been hearing for weeks. It's happening. And here's what we know:
Name: Set to be called "Griffin"
Team: Owners Adam Hock (on PM's lease and also of Hawaiin Tropic Zone Fame) and Chris Reda (owner of Room Service and Cheetah).
Director of VIP Services: Rachel Uchitel (Pink Elephant, Dune)
Pavan Parnasani- somehow involved (he's also working with 1Oak guys and Pink)
With the Saturday brunches breathing life back into the Meatpacking District, it will be interesting to see what Griffin can do to the post 7pm life down in the cobblestone shitshow.
Update: Other partners include Steve Davidovici and Manny Delzar. Josh Kasier is Director of Operations, Cocktail program is from people behind Milk & Honey/Little Branch, and apparently Pavan Parnasani has no involvement.

Plovgh, the new online farmers market
Who knew that the farming world had a trend? Well, Mallory Sustick, a Brooklyn bartender, works like a dog to maintain, promote and advance the online farmer's market startup Plovgh that began after noticing a need for more local farm market distribution.
