The famous New York City punk outpost CBGB & OMFUG, where Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads and many others cut their teeth and sullied its notoriously disgusting bathroom, closed in 2006. But now it will get a second life, nearly a decade later as ... an airport restaurant.
The club, which will be rechristened the CBGB L.A.B. (Lounge and Bar) will serve "American fare in a fun environment recalling the legendary music venue," Gothamist reports. The first location will open in New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport at a yet-to-be-revealed date and it will be helmed by chef Harold Moore, who runs the comparatively upscale New York City eatery Commerce.
CBGB L.A.B. will serve everything from $9.00 Disco Fries to a $42.00 Prime Rib, according to a menu posted online by East Orange, New Jersey radio station WFMU. It even features Harold's World Famous Chili on the menu, a nod to club owner Hilly Kristal's chili concoctions. Other items the L.A.B. will offer include crispy chicken paillard, seared togarashi tuna and matzo ball soup; diners can order birthday cake for dessert.

btw that CBGBs movie from a couple years ago is on Netflix and wow what an amazing, fun bunch of camp trash. too much fun. it's so clueless. ron weasley as a cheetah chrome is too dorky.
timeless beauty
speaking of, in CBGBs the movie, Patti Smith is playing supposedly when she's getting "discovered" and she does some spoken word then goes into...."Because the Night" lol
god i want to watch this movie again
one month passes...
one year passes...
one year passes...
I think since CBGBs itself is selling like $349.95 Swarovski jewelry with their logo on it and like has a restaurant at the Newark Airport, everyone should kind of give up being upset when a big brand has some fun with their legacy
