That includes rooftop bar, The Crown, as well as the Museum of Chinese in America annex and The Concept basement club formerly known as Green Lady (which got in trouble two years ago with its opium den theme).
“We are thrilled about this new partnership with the Gerber Group and positive impact it will have on Hotel 50 Bowery and the Chinatown community,” said Lauren Chu, on behalf of the ownership group of Hotel 50 Bowery.
