The Living Room closed after more than 10 years at 154 Ludlow
It’s a reality, people. The Living Room is no longer part of the dying Ludlow Street musical landscape. Co-owners Jennifer Gilson and Steve Rosenthal packed up the venue after more than a decade at this location. The storefront is now without identity.
After news broke in December of last year, the venue would survive for an additional nine months on landlord extensions. No more. Gilson and Rosenthal are now on the hunt for a new space.
Here are a couple more shots of the takedown and sidewalk sale from the last few days. These sights are becoming way too common on the Lower East Side of late.
