LOCATION:
THE BACKROOM
102 norfolk street, nyc 10002
enter through the small gate that says
"lower east side toy company", walk through
the alleyway and up the stairs at the end. this is
the same hidden entrance used during prohibition
by meyer lansky and other gangsters, though the
space at that time was just called "the back of
ratner's". ratner's was a famous kosher
dairy restaurant on delancey st.
from 1905 to 2004.
i look forward to spending valentine's day with you!
and HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!
the DRAGON BALL is coming up in march.
it'll be a little late this year, as we are still looking
for the right venue, but it will be happening.
