The sprawl of 13,000 square feet on the Bowery that was once CBGB’s has been leased, in whole or in part, not totally clear, by John Varvatos for a boutique!
Bill Popp, who played CBGB from 1981 until its closing last year, mourned the Bowery’s turn for the purse.
"Now it’s going to become a contrived type of store, with prices only for the yuppies who are taking over the neighborhood," he lamented.
