The Bottom Line was a historic music venue where countless ELECTRIFYING performances occurred. Seeing Bruce Springsteen perform in this intimate venue early in his career, before he'd achieved national & international fame, made many of us in the audience feel akin to seeing the Beatles perform at The Cavern Club in the days prior to their explosion in popularity and the ensuing British invasion. A street named for The Bottom Line would be a deserving symbol of this beloved & historic landmark.

The Bottom Line was the greatest venue of its time — make that of all time — and the scene of historic moments in music. It also gave a stage to unknown, developing musicians. The many, many nights I spent there was my musical education by being able to see such a wide variety of talented acts.

Music is a huge part of my life as well as for many others. Honoring the Bottom Line is well deserved.

The Bottom Line was more than the most influential music venue in NYC for 30 years. It was an incubator for talent, a gathering place for entertainment business execs, a haven for countless aspiring artists to find inspiration and make contacts… oh and for a million music fans it felt like home.

I had and made so many indelible memories there, and it was an intrinsic part of making or sustaining so many musical careers - it was and is legendary, and deserves it.

Attending shows at The Bottom Line was an important part of my life during the last two years I lived in The Village before moving west. Those two years also happened to be the first two years of The Bottom Line’s historic run - 1974 & ‘75. My subsequent return trips back home to New York also often included memorable shows at The Bottom Line over the years. It was truly a venue like no other - sorely missed!

I love this place and would go there all the time. I saw so many incredible acts there and one of the most moving shows was right after 9/11 when a free show was put on to honor the fireman. Over 20 acts played that night!

I saw so many great performers at The Bottom Line, including The Turtles, Darlene Love, The Bongos, and Nancy Sinatra. Let's preserve the memory of this important venue.
