Gatsby's Review
June 10, 2002
Checked out the ominously named new bar
Gatsby's last night. Located on Spring Street and Mulberry -- right near the groovy store
Fresh, where the
other CS works -- it signals the imminent demise of NoLiTa. An
Upper East Side bar on a cool downtown street. Frat types cheering wildly for the
Lakers (!?). Akin, in a sense, to Essex Street's
Smithfield (which is, its its dive-like way, a more acceptable watering hole... yet still, beneath it all, an Upper East Side-y kind of place.)
