The Ghost of CBGB & OMFUG

So when I was in New York last week I knew I had to stop by and check out the empty shell that once was the great CBGB & OMFUG and CB’s 313 Gallery, both of which closed last October. It’s quite a sad sight.

What I didn’t realize was that CBGB opened shop over on St. Marks Place in the East Village, but as a store only, selling shirts and other CBGB merchandise.

All I can say is that I hope CBGB doesn’t become the next Von Dutch brand.
