A new bar has debuted in the space on the corner of St Mark’s Place and First Avenue.
The Rolling Stones-themed bar called ‘Waiting on a Friend,’ is named after the band’s song from their 1981 Tattoo You album. The video for the song was actually shot on Saint Marks Place between Fist Avenue and Avenue A.
The space itself (which was previously Colibri), now features album artwork and grungy street-art vibes with graffitied walls that light up under blacklight.
