The Eldridge Replacement (Name tbd):
Whether you loved to hate it or hated to admit that you actually loved it (and the impressive wall of $650,000 worth of Armand de Brignac), The Eldridge is slated to reopen with a new name and new attitude come May. The lease and liquor license was purchased for a cool $300,000 (a steal, at $350,000 less than the champagne wall!) by Sean Hughes who promises that even if you're not a Kate Moss type, you'll be able to get in the first time around and not after trying 41 nights in a row. This new aura of inclusivity will be made in part by removing the old banquettes and teaming up with local restaurants within a five block radius to deliver food. While the new Eldridge's exclusivity level (and its name) is yet to be seen, let's just hope that we don't have to call the security guards "chaperones" anymore.
