Our listing gave The Porch the best garden in the East Village, and a winter interior of dark woods and warm light to match. In September 2011 EV Grieve found it closed and reported it was relocating to another part of the city1, 2; two months later the licensee conceded to the community board that it had voluntarily closed because of chronic noise complaints and persistent police activity3, 4. Apartment 13 followed at 115 Avenue C5, 6, and the address now belongs to Kosmic Community Anti Bar, which says it's not a bar, not in that sense anyway7.
Researched October 2026.
