Shape The Night

Before

Josie's

0.4 mi · 8 min walk - East Village

Opened in August 2012 in the old Joe's Bar, which closed when its proprietor died. The people behind Mona's and Sophie's took it on, refinished the bar, and put the checkerboard floor and the wallpaper back in their original patterns rather than choosing new ones. Pool table and a jukebox.

11:30 PM · Thriller: 80s Disco Halloween Night

After

The Library

0.1 mi · 2 min walk - East Village

Scribbled-over walls, shelves of books nobody reads, a jukebox, and a projector at the back running B-movies on a loop with the sound down. It has held this end of Avenue A since the early nineties. Dark and cheap and loud.
