The notoriously raunchy East Village gay bar The Cock will be closing in a few weeks. One wonders: What finally sealed its fate? The post-ban smoking? The backroom? Nope.
In the end, though, they were done in by real estate. When the lease came up, "my landlord wasn't having it anymore."So now The Cock will enter The Hole, as it were, and the latter's location on Second Avenue will be known as The Cock.
We're just glad the Times didn't break this news. Because we think they ran out of coy euphemisms for rooster a few months ago.
