By Kevin Korber of Village Confidential In 2007, artist and director Julian Schnabel purchased a building on 360 West 11th Street, converted it into luxury condominiums, and dubbed it Palazzo Chupi. Upon its unveiling, West Village residents were shocked, to say the least. Designed to resemble a Northern Italian palazzo, Schnabel’s building caught eyes across the West Village with its pink façade, which Schnabel declared to be “Pompeii red.” Now, according to reports, the red has faded from the building, leaving a bright pink Palazzo in the West Village. Over the past four years, the Palazzo Chupi’s outer façade has faded, leaving the building a faded light pink color. Schnabel’s representatives could not be reached for a comment, but some are wondering if the famed artist/director had ...

By Kate Akerly of Village Confidential   There is a new Caribbean joint in the neighborhood, Miss Lily’s, from Serge Becker of La Esquina fame.  It has taken over the space that Le Gamin previously called home and will hopefully bring some new life to the area.   If oxtail and fried plantains are what you’re craving, they dish it out in a nouveau style and have some interesting additions like spiced pumpkin soup.   Not a bad spot for just beers either. . . Caribbean beers that is. Miss Lily’s, 132 West Houston Street, (646) 588-5375 www.misslilysnyc.com

By Mike Akerly of Village Confidential   The crew behind the Jane Ballroom is bringing another gem to the West Village.  That is, if your idea of a gem includes greasy brass poles, sticky stages, and unemployed models.  What?   Westway is soon to open to the public at 75 Clarkson, or book them for your private party now.  The décor is just what you would expect from a former strip club: acrylic walls, red plastic booths, and a neon lit stage.  According to Urban Daddy, “from Tuesday to Saturday the professional go-go dancers will stay home and the stage will remain open for a sort of impromptu topless open-mic night.”  But if we know the Jane Ballroom crew, things are Clarkson Street may be looking up . . .

  By Mike Akerly of Village Confidential The Jane Street Triangle is located on the southwest corner of Jane Street and Eighth Ave. in the West Village.  Its history dates back to the late 1960’s.  Prior to that, the lot was improved with three Greek Revival buildings with residential units facing Jane St. and retail storefronts along Eighth Ave.  However, the buildings fell into disrepair in the 60’s, suffered a suspicious fire, were taken to by local squatters, and were eventually demolished.  The Jane Street Block Association organized a drive to purchase greeneries for the street and a wire fence was installed around the now empty lot on the corner.  In 1975 a developer attempted to build at the site after acquiring a plot at auction, but the plan was rejected by the Landmarks Prese...
