Otherwise why would you need drinks at a haunted house? I will learn more at the CB1 Licensing meeting scheduled for Feb.
I mean, really?? From another Broadway neighbor: Blood Manor has been the worst neighbor that East Tribeca has ever had — they encourage the folks on the street to make noise by having flame-swallowers and other performers egg them on.
Luckily, I kitty corner to them — but imagine the folks who just moved in to the Toll Brothers building next door, or those who will be paying a pretty penny to live in the Shigeru Ban Cast Iron House on the other connecting side.
My neighbor who is on the 3rd floor said they called the cops 4x during October to complain about the noise. Anyone reading this can help — I just signed a petition that they will send to the community board manager before the board meeting. Why has no one called to complain to Department of Buildings about occupancy without a valid certificate of occupancy and occupancy in excess of 74 persons without a valid place of assembly permit?
You would think DoB would care about something like this running illegally down the block from DoB headquarters. Already, the visuals collected by the neighbors are powerful statements.
Forget about the useless process. We need to get people in this neighborhood out to protest at the CB1 meeting. Also, we will be out in full force the next time they throw an event. And, yes, there are 5 of us men that are really big and not afraid to rough up a bunch of punk kids that cause problems for ur neighbors. Crime is so low in their sectors there is no excuse for them not to ticket these idiots and the club.
As for the club, shut up. It is not a truly residential area. Ohhhh those poor people who decided to live on Broadway or just off it, well what did you expect? Where are people supposed to go to have a good time out, the outerboroughs?
Yes, the club could and should regulate their crowd but they should not have to be put out of business by a bunch of NIMBYs like you. You want quiet, solitude, etc? Move to Bedford, NY. Wow, such anger. Just to be clear, I am a born and bread New Yorker. I mourn the loss of the original Times Square and my old neighborhood on avenue B. I love the sounds of NYC.
Blood Manor unlike the clubs I grew up in during the 80s does NOTHING to keep their crowds respectful and orderly — in fact, they encourage the rowdy behavior, ask for screaming, blast music through speakers on the street etc. You can respect your neighbors in NYC — Bedford should not be the only place that understands the importance of living copacetically together.
And just to be clear, many of lived here long enough on Broadway to remember the beautiful building that Blood Manor coopted. Dow Jones. Talk about a frightful situation. To Read the Full Story.

There is a ticket booth in the curb in front, and you can walk up and get tickets. Hours are generally 6p till 1a, but they close earlier on Thursdays and Sundays. It is most crowded earlier in the night, according to his ticket logs. All actors are wearing N95 masks under specially designed latex costume masks, and Lorenzo installed air filters and UVC lights throughout the space; his manager, a theater director, told me she sprays down the interior surfaces once an hour, in between groups.
The stalls are marked with the time of entrance and extend south of Leonard, halfway down the block towards Worth. Lorenzo said he was told by the city that he can have the entire curbside space between Franklin and Leonard for queuing as of this weekend. On the night that neighbors witnessed men urinating in doorways and more, he said the space was rented out for a 25th birthday party and not operated by his staff. Either way, he dropped the idea when his son got sick and when he realized community opposition would be fierce.
This is an understatement. Actors also weave through the waiting patrons, eliciting plenty of screams. The actors all have an odd stillness about them. Lorenzo walked me through the space before customers were allowed in — I had to be convinced since this is in no way my bag — but the actors were already in place and ready for the fright business.
Patrons wind through two floors that are of course dimly lit with lots of hidden corners and creepy nooks and crannies. The actors are crouching or skulking between animated models that are lifelike enough that I had continually question which were animatronic and which were human and would be ready to pounce at any minute. The director was kind enough to ask them to go easy on me via walkie talkie, but I was still a sweaty mess when it was over.
I did not, however, wet myself. Those who do get a free T-shirt. Thanks for the thorough review, and sorry to hear of the heartbreaking loss. I applaud Lorenzo for reaching out to have a dialogue and to share his side of the story. So the bigger the place the more people it can house thus the more it can benefit?
This is a superspreader event plain and simple. It needs to be shut down. Go play your haunted house fantasies somewhere else! Last since when can one business take up so much sidewalk space? If Blood Manor is really sticking to their plan as summarized in the NY Times, it may well be substantially lower risk than any indoor dining in the neighborhood.
And we know from the summer protests that waiting outside wearing masks is a low risk activity. But they better be enforcing mask wearing! How dare you actually.
