Maybe this money should go toward paying a decent booking agent to come into the place and help it turn a profit.

Someone should fund dismantling it so it can be rebuilt inside the Smithsonian or a new punk-theme chain restaurant.

Where the waiters are supposed to be snotty and rude?

Where Jennifer Anniston in a CBGBs t-shirt is called glamorous instead of annoying.

It's nice when local landmarks are helpfully rescued and subtly recontextualized by commerce. My favorite local example was the tens-of-millions of dollars tax-subsidized "Denver's Ocean Journey"--a very deeeluxe educational aquarium. When it totally predictably went belly up, it was rescued. By Landry's Restaurants out of TX. To be turned into a seafood restaurant (with rides).

I think this has been done.

I know this chain. It's called Every Restaurant In Manhattan.
