A defunct 1920s sign factory was transformed into an ‘intimate Hammerstein Ballroom’, thanks to Serge Becker (La Esquina, 205) joining forces with theater folk Richard Kimmel, Randy Weiner, and Simon Hammerstein (whose grandfather, Oscar, built the original). Now the stage is graced by burlesque performers and circus freaks, all while glamorous spectators drink and dance in between the performances.
