We snuck in just as partners David Lauterstein and Fred Kearney opened the doors to the new Nasty Pig at 259 West 19th Street in Chelsea. Nasty Pig has been a Chelsea staple over the past twenty years at a time when Chelsea is rapidly de-gaying.
DJ Corey Craig played hits in the back of the shop with nightlife darling Roze Black and an adorable crew of boys from the Nasty Pig team. They’re adding a 12 x 20 deck for shoppers to kick back. With shops in the area like Rainbows and Triangles, Camouflage, and Arcadia Spa & Home closing it’s great to see Nasty Pig replant its roots in the heart of Chelsea… just in time to stock up for the Black Party.
