But it’s not as though people are just twiddling their thumbs waiting for Output to open. Take the Lower East Side’s Slipper Room, for instance. The cozy theater and brainchild of co-owner James Habacker helped bring the burlesque and variety scene to the forefront of Gotham nightlife when it opened in 1999. The room shut down for renovations in 2010, and after more than two years, we were beginning to think that “renovation” was code for “permanently closed.” But, rebuilt from the ground up, the beautifully expanded and rejiggered spot (with new lights, better sound, a mezzanine and a gorgeous atmosphere) reopened in October and has regained its status as burly-Q central.
