Coming soon to a congested block near you – Lower Eastpacking: The New Class.
The new guard of trendy neighborhood establishments is underway, gaining its latest torch-bearer in a familiar location. 225 East Houston Street. This, of course, is the Provident Loan Society building which previously housed Club Element. Its new identity, revealed over the summer as Jamie Mulholland’s Five Nightclub, was recently tweaked to something even worse. The artist formerly known as Five is now dubbed Luxx NYC, and officially launched over the weekend.

Meanwhile, neighborhood restlessness is palpably at peak levels.
