New York: minus 100

First CBGB's, now Knitting Factory. Bummer.

Actually, I should clarify. The Knitting Factory didn't exactly shut down. Due to rising rent costs, they're moving into a smaller space in Williamsburg. I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that rent is so high that not even a well-established venue like the Knitting Factory managed to keep up, or the fact that they are now calling Williamsburg home.

New York, you just lost some major points.
