Lenox Lounge, the iconic 63-year-old jazz club in Harlem, has officially closed its doors as of this past Monday. The landlord of the spot had doubled the rent, and current owner Alvin Reed just couldn’t do it. It will be reopening this Spring, however, it will be under a different name and different management…so it’s basically a totally new place. Nobu owner Richie Notar will open the doors to Notar Jazz Club this March, as he wasn’t allowed to use the original name. So sad to see such a piece of history go! Marisa Mendez

(Video) A$AP Rocky Review His Year With Miss Info
Miss Info spoke to A$AP Rocky about the year that he’s had. A$AP has had plenty of ups but a few downs as well. As you know Rocky blew up like crazy this year as well as many members of the A$AP Mob, which is what Rocky was hoping for. It seemed like for a while no matter where you went, a Rocky song was playing and he was expected to release his debut album. The beginning of the year was great for Rocky, but the last few months of 2012 seem to be the opposite for his personal and professional life. Not only did his album get pushed back, but it also sprung a serious leak and many questioned his “fashion” sense. He was hit with some legal drama and sadly lost his father within the last few weeks. Watch what Rocky said below. Julie A.

Blatant drug use, sales and prostitution has made an area of Marcus Garvey Park off limits to everyday citizens. It has gotten to the point a separate curfew is enforced in order to keep residents safe. For years this area has been a playground for criminals due to its landscape and elevation above other surrounding areas of the park. Click below for more info. Funk Flex
