No Fun, a new restaurant/bar, recently opened on Ludlow Street, one of the most fun blocks in New York City’s Lower East Side. Front man, James Woods, speaks about No Fun with irony and ease as he assures that this new LES hot spot to bring back the grungy, rock 'n' roll sentiments of old New York City nightlife.

Remnants of past drinking affairs and spontaneous rendezvous are embedded in the worn wooden furnishings and fixtures. Although No Fun has only been around for a short four months, being inside the restaurant feels strangely familiar. Black cushions adorn open booths, a rusty red paint covers the walls, and the DJ booth is open to the small dance floor. Woods describes No Fun as a glamorous pool hall with a museum-kind-of-feel. The décor and ambiance is best summarized as "chill," without any frills and gimmicks. More»

But now as a principle at No Fun on Ludlow, and his latest developing project Bodega, he's showing NYC what he's really got up his sleeve. Check out what he had to say about opening his new spot in the LES... More»
