Nadeem SalaamThe Manhattan Inn The Light Of Greenpoint Says Goodbye
Yesterday as we filmed the second to last Hum Series on behalf of Hypnocraft, the news made public just hours before the evenings event about the venue’s final leg of shows began to sink in my mind like a stone. Having a venue host events like these, better the community: you see the magic happen and flourish and grow and manifest seedlings in the form of new friends, creative raconteurs, collaborative efforts in hawkish times and a part of you knows how hard it is to rebuild every time this happens.
We’ll be there next week filming the last of the Hum Series for what was going to be of the year–now also the last there will ever be at The Manhattan Inn.
The owners have stated they will be opening a new space to eat, drink, and congregate, early next year; “We are incredibly grateful to our staff, the artists, and everyone who has supported us since 2009. We are looking forward to unveiling a new and exciting endeavor that will serve the community in a fresh atmosphere come 2017.” Though the little glowing light of Greenpoint will be missed, in all its wood-paneled, antique mirror-adorned majesty.
For the final month of November, the Manhattan Inn will host celebratory star-studded line-ups curated by LPR Presents. The schedule includes: Delicate Steve, Kaki King, Joan As Police Woman, Nick Hakim, Sam Evian, Pavo Pavo, J. Hoard, Sam Cohen, Wilsen, all the events are for free, but you should tip the artists.
