A mighty roar went up
on the UES when Sweet Melissa's closed its doors. OK, we did hear
one high-school student call it the "end of an era." Opened in its
place is the much more adult-themed Copper Lounge. After further review
of our surveillance photographs, we are still unable to discern why
this bar is called Copper Lounge. There is a three-foot strip of copper
below the bar. Maybe that's it? And nobody is fooled into thinking
this is a lounge--a couple couches and lower lighting does not a lounge
make. So, basically, this is still Sweet Melissa's with a little more
furniture, a strip of copper and a couple wall sconces. We think the
lounge moniker lets them charge more for drinks, and keeps the Pokéman
crowd away. [MF] |
