.The New York Groove just turned one and we celebrated with a Tim Donnelly scoop: Live Nation quietly bought The Bell House and is pushing out every event that isn’t comedy or a live podcast episode nygroove.nyc/bell-house-sol…

What a downgrade for Beija-Flor, the excellent Brazilian restaurant in Dutch Kills. Their pretty outdoor dining structure is now gone, just so two people can park their cars in front. No more live music outside, I guess, either. Conservative NIMBYs just hate this city.
