When we first made the decision to convert some empty retail space on the corner of Vanderbilt and 45th street into a new bar, we talked about what the name should be, and as usual it was left up to the marketing guy to come up with something creative, and original.

This time around I decided to come up with a different approach, something that could involve our customers, our social networking friends and any and all people that would be interested in helping us come up with a new name for the bar.

It’s ALL I have heard about for weeks.  Lady Gaga is coming home to play a show at Radio City Music Hall.  The 4-night stretch sold out within minutes a few weeks back, but if you just HAVE to go, there are plenty of tickets out there if you’ve got a few hundred bucks to spend.  One of my colleagues here bought a last minute ticket for over $400 just this morning!  Well, it is Lady Gaga and we all expect nothing less than a fascinating and entertaining show!

Born and raised in NYC,  Lady Gaga is sure to put on her best for the sold out crowd tonight!
