Chloë Sevigny yelled into our ear that Don Hill's has "a little sense of anarchy that I feel like New York is missing," and compared it favorably to her brother's recently shuttered Beatrice Inn.


It is missing. And one of the main reasons is people like your brother, his business partner, and everyone else in the place.

I wish Chloë was here in the 1970s and early 80s. She'd learn that instead of being a cutting edge New Yorker she's really a whitebread suburban kid from Connecticut.

If she thinks those were the good old days she's out of her fucking mind.

I also miss heroin.

That was the 60s.

I think it's the Ludes & coke that you're missing.

(Actually of course heroin never really goes away.)
