This past Friday, Billy Corben premiered his latest movie, Limelight, as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. Limelight documents the rise and fall of Peter Gatien, the legendary nightclub owner who arguably became a scapegoat in Giuliani’s New York mid 90’s drug wars. Afterward guests hit the Bowery Hotel where we spoke with Jen Gatien, Peter's daughter and a producer of the film, and Steve Lewis, legendary NYC nightlife figure.

Eleven Madison Park is collaborating with  Brooklyn Brewery to change the way we think of beer. It's no longer just for the ballgame or barroom but part of the upscale dining experience.

“The role of beer in fine dining needs to change,” says Eleven Madison Park general manager Will Guidara. “Restaurants of our caliber always focus on wine but we’re also intensely focused on cocktails, coffee, tea and right now we’re amidst a full-on beer onslaught.”

Bar owners in Midtown are complaining about homeless people who are harrasing their customers and faking injuries and other maladies to gain sympathy from patrons.

"They aggravate everyone, you push them away and they come back. It's like the tide," said Andrew Impagliazzo, owner of the Blarney Stone on Eighth Avenue between 30th and 31st streets.

On Friday night Diddy was set to be helicoptered to New Jersey for a whopping $75,000 appearance at Club 4 Sixty 6, following his concert at Hammerstein Ballroom. The FAA did not clear his plans in time so his wishes were met in a different way, a police escort "service" to get him through traffic. He got three NYPD squad cars with additional New Jersey cops at the venue. This is just how Diddy rolls.
