Question: How many times can the cops raid the Beatrice Inn? Right now they're going at a rate of once a month: "I was at the Beatrice Inn last night and something was going down. Around 2 they stopped playing music and the dance floor cleared out. When I left a little while later, there were cop cars outside and the doorman was talking three cops." [DBTH]
WILLIAMSBURG— If their appearance on last month's CB1 agenda wasn't enough confirmation that Pies & Thighs is moving to Driggs at South 4th Street, Gothamist has the triple confirm: "A scrap of news is no replacement for pulled pork, but fervid fans of the defunct Williamsburg DIY barbecue joint Pies ‘n’ Thighs will have to take what they can get. It seems the owners are indeed moving forward with their new location on the corner South 4th Street and Driggs, and there will be another Community Board meeting next month." [Gothamist]
EAST VILLAGE— Rolling Stone notices the curious name of Elvis Costello's newest album—Momofuku: "Did Costello, who currently lives in New York, name his new release after the hottest restaurants in the city: chef David Chang’s Momofuku Noodle Bar, Momofuku Ssam Bar, and the new, impossible-to-get-into Momofuku Ko?...Costello’s reps weren’t immediately able to provide an answer, so I went straight to Chang...'We’ve heard he’s a fan of the restaurant, but I doubt he’d name his album after us,' says Chang. 'That would be too weird. It blows my mind. There’s just no way! He’s Elvis Costello, for Christ’s sake!'" [RS]
