The show might finally go on for the Metro Theater on the Upper West Side, which has sat vacant since 2005 and is in the home stretch of being sold.
After being put up for sale by the estate of its former owner, this uptown Art Deco gem, which sat vacant since 2005, is in the home stretch of being sold to the perfect buyer.
“Bialek drove a hard bargain and a lot of prospective tenants walked away because they felt his terms were unrealistic,” Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, who’s been invested in the saga since his first City Council term in 2014, told The Post. “It felt like every time, inches from the end zone, it fell apart.”
“To have a nonprofit arthouse is absolutely a dream come true,” Levine said of the buyer it attracted. “It’s better than I would have dared to hope.” His team is optimistic, though. Influential Upper West Siders are hosting house parties to support the cause, and donors may feel generous in the holiday spirit, Deutchman said.
