CONTRARY to Internet speculation, new Meatpacking District hot spot Griffin is not closing. Rumors circulated after the Guest of a Guest blog reported that the club, which occupies the space formerly held by PM, is on the verge of shutting down over financial problems. But Griffin owner Chris Reda tells Page Six, “This is absolutely, 150 percent not true. I don’t even know where this came from. Business has been great. We have a seven-year lease and aren’t closing before then.” He adds that the club has a number of Fashion Week events lined up.

Cops found prescription drug bottles inside DJ AM’s residence at 210 Lafayette St. after the 36-year-old’s lifeless body spotted face-down in his bed at around 5:23 p.m. by a friend, who was concerned he hadn’t heard from the performer in several days, sources said.
I just received the following notice:
East Village bars Drop Off Service, Planet Rose, Forbidden City, Common Ground, Habibi Lounge, and Superdive will donate 50% of their register on Monday, Aug. 31 (all day and night) to set up a college fund for the children of murdered bouncer Eric “Taz” Pagan.
I’m told that bar owners in the area are devastated by what happened early last Sunday morning.
