"It’s fade to black for Midtown’s iconic movie palace the Ziegfeld movie theater — but the iconic venue at 141 W. 54th St. will be reborn as a spectacular high-end event space, The Post has learned. The new Ziegfeld Ballroom will be a mecca for society galas and corporate events, to open in fall 2017 after a two-year renovation of the space."
Hmm, perfect for REBNY galas and events. Maybe even a future Dan Garodnick event.
Event Spaces are a dime a dozen. The flatiron is overrun with event spaces. Not for locals, or any type of classy venue, but for renting party spaces for corporations, high end cocktail model / waitress brand ambassadors liquor girls and boys, PARTYYYY!
ReplyDeleteAt least they're not going to knock it down and build luxury condos!
ReplyDeleteGoodbye Ziegfeld. I saw 2001 A Space Odyssey there in the late 60s with my Dad at a midnight show.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful movie theater. Will be missed.
This city is becoming as soulless and superficial as the REBNY-owned politicians who run it.
ReplyDeleteLeaf blowers out at 7 am annoying the crap out of us yet today, snow accumulating , 7 30 and not one plow. I can't wait to write my check for zero this month coming. Fuck em.
ReplyDeleteNew York is no longer the place for musicians, artists, painters, actors, innovators. NY is nothing more than a corporate sponsored tv commercial with plastic game show Hosts giving subsidies to the wealthy.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the 700 guys who leaf blow and work at the Skate rink? Are they not also paid to clean our streets today?
ReplyDeleteSadly after Netflix came into the picture, ticket prices became high and bedbugs came into movie theaters, going to the theater isn't what is used to be
