> Neighborhood Watch: Siberia in Crown Heights? —

2008_9_siberia.jpgEver since the red light went off above that West 40th Street doorway, media professionals and minor celebrities have been wondering where Tracy Westmoreland would reopen his legendary dive bar, Siberia. Would you believe...Crown Heights? "I'm interested—and this is going to sound crazy—I'm interested in Crown Heights," he tells Chris Shott. "Williamsburg is fucking over. It's time to break new ground." [NYO]

That would actually be kinda cool. I loved that place.

yeah, well its not ground breaking, ground breaker for Crown Heights were the Guys from Franklin Park, Toli is a fucking Genius!!

I remember that bar. I went there a couple of times when it was on 40th Street. Don't know if a dive bar would be that great in Crown Heights since we already have a couple but hey, if it works, it works.

A dive Punk, Rock and Roll Bar is what we need!!

Ahhh yes, that is one kind of dive bar that we do not have. It would be a good alternative for all the rockers in the nabe.

OMG- Cannot. Wait.

:bounce:

Oh man just when I couldn't get any lazier. If I didn't have to work in Manhattan I would never com ehere

Can´t wait, shot os tequila, random making out sessions and singing to the lyrics of Hell Awaits!!

"Williamsburg is fucking over."

Not familiar with the bar but this made me smile.

its been over for like 7 years already!!

The Sneaky always has the scoops!!

Saw this today also.

Would be quite an awesome addition to the area.

Bring it!

I'm definitely looking forward to this. New destination for after our midnight bike rides!

Man if this happens it will be the best thing ever!!

There goes the neighborhood....

Except maybe for Weather Up opening on Vandy.

I remember haging out with the chef´s from Les Halles , le Bernadin, Nello´s, Per se and just getting shit faced to The germs!!!

i played a bunch of times at the one on 40th... and before that, when it was in the southbound 50th st. 1/9 station! Good old shithole siberia. it'd be entertaining to have here.

Personally, I'd rather Tracy reopen Bellevue rather than Siberia out here, but I suppose that's nitpicking. Either would be fantastic -- though I did get a bit of a "HUH?!" out of the tone in Grub Street's post about this yesterday. Like Crown Heights was the outer boonies. Not sure where they've been lately...

thank you - I was wondering why everyone was saying 40th St, when I remember the one by the 1/9 train
