The Bottom LIne was my favorite place to hear music. I saw so many amazing shows there. I was there so often that everyone knew my name.

I used to live across the street, but more importantly, I saw many many bands there. The fact that it just vanished is pretty sad.

Great venue. Fantastic acts. It was a fabric of nightlife during one of the most exciting times to live in NYC.

The Bottom line, Stanley + Alan, presented music and experiences impactfully, which has been well documented, and that will be remembered by it’s patrons and musicians as long as they live and in so doing they shaped the history and trajectory of music/art for generations to come around the world.
A shrine or at least a street naming is an appropriate action.

Many of the best and most important shows I ever saw were at The Bottom Line. It contributed a tremendous amount to my own development as a musician. While the club is gone, its legacy is large and deserves to be recognized and commemorated.

This was a historic venue. It should not be lost to history, rather, it deserves to be honored and remembered forever. I saw more than a few artists there, and have many fond memories. I think a plaque is the very least the city could do to preserve the historical importance of The Bottom Line.

It has good memories for my friend. We must remember and sustain the arts, in New York and everywhere.

I saw Debbie Harry and the Jazz Passengers, Uncle Floyd, Lou Reed and many others there I wept when it closed. It deserved a memorial plaque.

Allen was one of the kindest people I ever met. I bought two photos that they had displayed there -- Springsteen and Tom Waits & Bette Midler. When I got to my apartment I left them in the cab. So I turned around and went back to buy two more. Allen asked me why I was back and I told him -- and he gave me two replacements -- and wouldn't take any money for them. I was a kid and obviously didn't have a lot -- never forgot. Let's honor Allen and this amazing club.
