And Barry Manilow must be wetting himself.
As a publicist reminds me:
“Many famed acts debuted at the club when it was located on E. 60th St., notably Martin and Lewis, and it was used as a location for many great films, including Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and Tootsie.
]
“After thriving on W. 34th St. by the Hudson River only to have the city exert its privilege of Eminent Domain to expand the 7 subway line, the Copa is reopening in the former, cavernous China Club space on 8th Ave. and W. 47th St.
“In a city now dominated by teeny tiny effete lounges, this new space will have the true allure of a nightclub/disco, one of very few in Manhattan.”
So the Copa is coming back in July! Except it’s the China Club!
Are you getting your festive headdress together?
