3. Travis Bass is hosting pop-up parties at 141 Chrystie, and commented on it stating:
"Travis, as his norm, never shut up about this and that and what he was doing at 141. He gushed, 'I am doing a three-day pop-up at 141 Chrystie Street from Thursday through Saturday next week. It will be a raging dance club party theme. Think Ibiza or rave party with the Red Egg crew and crowd. I am going to do giant balloons and projections and laser beams.'"
Bass continued on to say:
"Gonna bring back the old New York high-energy dance club! No more lounging bullshit! NYC is all about fun and we are bringing that back."
4. Joe's becomes Josie's! Joe's Bar on East Sixth Street has remained closed since original owner Joe Vajda died this past Thanksgiving. Richard Corton confirmed that he and partner Kirk Marcoe, who own Mona's and Sophie's, have signed a lease and sales for Joe's. Corton posted to facebook about the purchase stating,
"Small changes. Clean up. Maybe, if we feel ambitious, we might redo the wallpaper with exactly the same wallpaper. We love that wallpaper but it is in really bad shape. Per Dottie's request, we are gonna change the name, Joe's will become Josie's."

6. Donald Trump bails on the Tavern on The Green. Contrary to earlier plans, Donald Trump won't be getting involved with the Tavern's reboot. Representatives for the Donald told DNA that the new scaled-down Tavern doesn't jibe with Trump's luxury-laden brand. [DNA]
7. Stanton Public gets a facelift. The LES dive bar has been transformed into Bantam, a late-night, blue-hued lounge space. At around 11PM every night the lounge will bring in a DJ and transform into a dance spot. [Urban Daddy]
8. CB3 get's down to business. Last night, local residents gathered with a task force formed by Community Board 3 (CB3) to get advice on drafting neighborhood requirements for new businesses applying for liquor licenses.
