CBGB, Punk Rock Venue Reopens a Newark Airport Restaurant

The grimy, sticky stages of CBGB & OMFUG, infamously known as the hangouts of iconic punk acts like The Ramones, Blondie and Talking Heads in New York City, appears to be reopening… albeit in a very different form than its ’70s counterpart.

Safety Patrick Chung also left the game with a hip injury. “You can’t control that”, said defensive end Jabaal Sheard . Jones has always been a serviceable pass-rusher, but in 2015, he has taken his game to a new level in that area.

Now though, because its trademarks were “assigned to a holding company”, it’s now set to re-open as a burger restaurant inside Newark Airport in New Jersey. It closed for business in 2006.

While most CBGB fans would like to see a new club resurrect the name or even a chain ala the Hard Rock, what they are getting nearly sounds like a cruel joke.

CBGB L.A.B. will serve everything from $9.00 Disco Fries to a $42.00 Prime Rib, according to a menu posted online by East Orange, New Jersey radio station WFMU.
