The Big Easy, a staple in New York nightlife, will be closing its doors indefinitely, as halt on the non stop party locale has recently been put in order by the Department of Buildings and Office of Emergency Management.
In a statement released exclusively to Joonbug earlier today, Terry Brooks, owner of The Big Easy, said, "The Staff and I are devastated at the city's forced closure of The Big Easy because of the 2nd Avenue subway construction. For many of our customers it's become a second home and a non pretentious place to come have some good old fashion fun for the past 8 years. We hope all our loyal customers will visit our staff as they will be moving to our sister bars, Bar None and Bourbon Street, where you can expect the same shenanigans people have come to expect at The Big Easy. We will keep our loyal fans updated on a reopening timeframe once we have one from the city."
Unfortunatly, this means the summer parties at The Big Easy will be put on the back burner as subway construction contines. It looks like we are all going to have to go else where to fullfill our pre-grad, frat party desires.
What a shame! Hopefully this mess will end soon. Perhaps this is good reason for a grand re-opening party...as if their wasn't reason enough.
