More news from Broome Street. Brinkley’s is getting set to open. After a long (LOOOONG) period of dormancy, it looks like the Tom and Anthony Martignetti may finally be getting their act together. Kudos to the pair for managing to schmooze the neighborhood board. The upstairs bar/restaurant above Southside is set to be called “Brinkley’s” and, since its blocks away from the GofG offices, we thought we’d walk on over and see what the story was.  The exterior looks to be completed. How are things on the inside?

For some reason, which no one has yet been able to figure out (including myself), I have a strange fascination with the club kids…in particular, with Kenny Kenny. And girl was WORKING that door on Bowery last night! So, in fitting with Kenny Kenny making news this week, I will NOW (probably retardedly so), present you with my rendition of Kenny Kenny for Halloween this year:
