How about the black cloud that supposedly hangs over 1921 First Avenue? Former mortuary, former Cafe Sophie, former Avenue One, former Fire and Ice... probably missed one or two.
Now it's the Starlite Lounge, remodeled to minimize the funereal aspects of the cavernous space, with a giant mural of Dino, Sammy and Frankie above the bar. The sound system oozes their crooning ballads, the bar serves decent libations, and the kitchen does a respectable job with $5 happy-hour plates like mussels in herbsaint butter sauce and mini prime rib sandwiches.
Have they beaten the curse? Ya think?
Starlite Lounge, 1921 1st Ave., 206-448-7824
