I actually met this guy at one of the said "techno" parties a few years ago. I was sitting at the bar and all of a sudden he just started talking to me. We chatted for a while before he mentioned he owned the joint.

A real nice guy. His philosophy was "back then, I bought real estate instead of investing in my company's stock...[but NYC is expensive AF now so good luck doing that!]"

Also, the article implicitly suggests (while still playing identity politics, as NYT just can't help), that gentrification revitalized his club.




Isn't a comment about an entity or author playing identity politics in itself identity politics as well?
