Bantam, Stanton Street’s newest bar, can be easily missed due to its small and clandestine store front. From the street, nothing is revealed besides for a neon lit “17” that is installed above the door. But like its boxing-based definition, “small but powerful,” Bantam is the new hip hub of partners Scott Hockens, Seamus Regan, Norman Reedus, and Amit Zaman.

The owners of Bantam pride themselves on the exclusive nature of their new lounge. The latest nightlife spot, only 3 weeks young, recently opened in place of the once beloved Stanton Public (and for a very brief time, the Elsinore). Stanton Street’s popular dive bar has been replaced with a chic new décor that is better described as elegantly eclectic. More»

Gone are the days of the "All You Can Drink" birthday specials for beer enthusiasts at the shuttered Stanton Public. In it's place Noel Ashman and company are opening a new lounge in what they consider NYC's next hot neighborhood for night crawlers.

Last night I attended a pre-opening construction party at Ashman's new spot The Elsinore. The party was true to theme as the space is still very raw (you close the bathroom doors by placing the latch into a hole in the wall), leaving much to the imagination in terms of what the finished product will look like. It's Fashion Week though, so plywood stall doors be damned, you gotta throw a party! More»
