Earlier this week we reported that broker James Famularo had closed a deal putting mobster institution Little Charlie s Clam Bar into the hands of a new owner. Sure enough, the Observer now reports that come autumn David Bowie, Sting, and Ivan Kane will turn the place into a low-key, high-spender outpost of Kane s Vegas and L.A.
burlesque nightclubs Forty Deuce. Will this be the next ? If we re to believe Famularo, it may be that and more; he says the owners have budgeted something in the neighborhood of $4 million to, among other things, tear open the ground floor (keeping 25 percent of it for use as a mezzanine) and install a stage in what s now the basement.
For food, Famularo says, Kane is considering serving 500 different types of French fries, though he admits, I couldn t tell whether he was joking or serious. One thing Kane is serious about: He wants 100 percent of the focus to be on the girls and the dancing. You heard it no rubbernecking when the Thin White Duke shows up.
