NYC club Baker Falls launches GoFundMe to help stay open

Baker Falls venue in NYC needs help to square up with folks starting with artists and our wonderful team after a year-long struggle to build our community and stay open. We might lose our space due to a weird 3-way combo of the landlord passing away, foreclosure on their estate, and an unexpected lease clause which could cancel our lease with a new owner...if this happens, no other performance venue would probably be able to operate at 192 Allen Street as the commercial space would be redeveloped...
