Here’s some news that was good to me, but probably bad for Williamsburg (which really just makes it better for me): Galapagos Art Space is moving!
Galapagos has been in Williamsburg for twelve years, during which time the space hosted such notables as Monster Eiffel Tower. They were there when everyone had payos instead of asymmetrical haircuts and kippahs instead of skinny jeans. But it looks like Galapagos gave up on Billysburg, blanching at their landlord’s requested 30% rent increase. Apparently they can’t handle the gentle peaks and troughs of the “radically chic, chicly radical” neighborhood’s real estate market. Pussies.
So, keep an eye out for Galapagos moving into a huge space in DUMBO and making real estate speculators shriek with glee as another incredibly cool, expensive neighborhood grows up around the club.
Where do you get your facts? Galapagos didn’t open 12 years ago. You are obviously a big-mouthed idiot who knows nothing about the neighborhood.
Sorry, chief. That’s what the New York Times said.
Joe seems nice.
Reck and Plainclothes you made me smile real big. Reck, stop lying about neighborhoods, you’re losing cred with Joe.
DUMBO is already ridiculously expensive and “cool”
Yeah, but wait and see what happens when they get some bars and clubs up in that piece. Lunacy!
