am i a the only one seriously turned off by the name Plan B?????????????

Agreed... "Plan B" makes me think of one thing only, and it's not a bar in Brooklyn...

It actually makes me think of the bar in Manhattan off Tompkins Square Park also called Plan B. Still a pretty crappy name.

What movie is that? I need to see it.

Subject: Better name for the new joint?

Since "Plan B" as a name isn't appealing to you all, how about some suggestions for our newest community member?
ProsPinot? VanderBites?
Surely someone can come up with something more clever than I?
How about a contest, Greg?

Sorry about typo above i meant to say Nov 1 in any event just got off the phone with liquor authortity and its a minimum of 4-6 weeks...........perhaps a nice holiday party LOL

Subject: planning for plan b

even though i admit that Plan B brought immediately to my mind, too, the morning after pill, so what? i think it's as good a name as most. who cares. (and i like the rather poignant back-story of greg the owner's "plan b" life change after his wife died and he found himself with 3 kids and a desire to get away from the manhattan money investment banking world. cheers to that, man, put some of that money into people and neighborhoods and fun. nice.)

anyway, a very attractive awning has gone up which somehow already looks quite promising to me and my husband (i tend to judge a book by its cover). we're hoping for something that's kind of like a cross between soda and tavern on dean -- like more of a bar than TonD, but more of a restaurant than Soda? And good "regular" food. Maybe our wishes have been answered -- and so close to us -- i can't imagine we won't go there all the time, unless there's some weird thing wrong with it. we shall see.

btw, anyone know what's going on in the space near Bob Law's -- in what i think used to be some kind of electronics repair place or something?

I am with giraffehead on this one... A *catchy* name is not relevant to me. OK, if the place is called Adolf's Pub, I may be inclined to pass. But at this point, all I've seen re: Plan B is a new awning with an attractive sign in a subdued, readable font. Let us patronize, then judge.

There's actually a bar in the East Village called Plan B - who hosted a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood of NYC called Plan B for Plan B - place was packed!

I don't think there's room in NYC for 2 bars named Plan B - do you?

Has there been any movement on this place recently? I know the original dates have all passed.

I peeked in Plan B last night. Work continues. Looks like the cable has been installed—I watched (the owner?) watch ESPN on a big LCD TV as he took a break from getting the place in order. Wish I had more details but it was dark and kinda dark inside the place... I think it has a garden out back.

What's the latest folks? The paper is off the windows, place looks great...when can we get in there and enjoy ourselves?

those are some serious teles up in there, eh?

every evening when i pass Plan B on da way home it seems SO primed to be open, and yet, it's still closed. maybe liquor license woes?
