A visit to "Radio" on 13th Street, near Broadway was the scene of my latest information on a rumored new establishment to be located where the once-popular "Fifth Amendment" raged on weekend nights.
The new establishment, to be owned by a combination of one of the current owners of Radio and others, is to be called "Easy." It's set to open on the second week of June.
The new place is named after "The Big Easy" and because the lead owner hails from New Orleans.
"It's totally different," I'm informed by Radio's DJ. "The drop-ceiling is gone and there's going to be a totally open atmostphere. You won't know the place. There's going to be way more space. There will be over-stuffed couches and in general a nicer atmostphere."
Well, stay tuned. It's hard to replace a legend, but they seem to want to try. It's not easy.
But rather than replace "The Fifth" I think they're really taking aim at "Kingman's Lucky Lounge" on Grand, which also has stuffed couches and cocktail waitress service.
But it also has a reputation for "forgetting" it's most loyal customers. Well, the Lucky Lounge will have to work harder for its money in the future. The Lucky Lounge may find it's not easy to retain customers once "Easy" is open.
