It had been a massage parlor, which was evicted after an NYPD vice sting, and it was split up into a series of small rooms with wall-to-wall red carpeting throughout .

Perie got his liquor license on March 17, 2020 — the day Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the city, including bars, would be shut down. The best idea for a bar in New York — in a snug, windowless space — suddenly became quite possibly the worst.
Aside from the well-established places at Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, there have been other station-adjacent bars in New York. The one that’s perhaps most fondly remembered is Siberia, a dive bar with an entrance on the downtown side of the 1 station at 50th and Broadway that opened in 1997 . The Subway Inn, a tavern across from Bloomingdale’s until its move in 2015, was named for its entrance to the 6 train.
Ask the owners of the Siberia Bar.
