But, the club is gone and the urban legend lives. For every mass produced t-shirt there is a poser saying they were there. But now you can say you were at the Fest! A fantastic week of events from movies to speakers to free concerts in Times Square
But wow they are really re-launching this CBGB thing full time! A new location, a music festival and now a movie, it is difficult not to see an exploitation of the famous name behind all this
still go to clubs all the time, from Bowery Electric and Bowery Poetry -doors down from the old CBGB’s across Houston, to Pianos, Arlene’s Grocery, Mercury Lounge, to Bowery Ballroom all the way to Santos Playhouse, and none of these rooms, though they all have their good sides, has the mingling of event destination and familiarity
According to the Gothamist, the famous club CBGB may open again in a new space in Manhattan. The contents of the original club have been preserved in a basement and different locations
