TIER 3
RIP another Gotham club
"In the spring of 1979, Hilary Jaeger was working at a TriBeCa
restaurant called Tier 3; a few months later, she began booking live
bands in the 300-capacity space. Hilary's efforts were bolstered by
the punk and new wave enthusiasts previously associated with
Stinky's, a nightspot that was New York's first 'punk disco.' Tier 3
lasted only until December 1980, but it was a vital and influential
venue in which the new music cross-bred with the experimental art and
film scenes of Downtown. "
