CBGB's Owner Says He Will Move Club To Vegas When Lease Expires In October

Kristal said he was still looking for space in New York, but everything’s been too expensive. “I looked at a space on Second Avenue that was 2,005 square feet. They were asking $11,000 a month. This place is 14,000 square feet.”
