Overview

New York on Tap listed this bar without a review.

History

Still a place to work up a sweat

In May 2006 Eater reported that Star, the Upper West Side nightclub, was changing owners and concepts¹. The newcomers, the former Copacabana owner John Juliano and Marc Glazer of Branch and El Morocco, planned to turn it into a dance club and private party venue called Columbus72¹. Time Out now lists Star as closed, and 246 Columbus Avenue, between 71st and 72nd Streets, is home to Momentum Fitness^{2, 3}. The address still gets people moving.
