Is NYC's infamous Limelight club facing a new future?
Huge for-sale and for-lease signs have appeared outside an infamous New York City church. The striking Gothic Revival building at the corner of 20th Street and Sixth Avenue is one of Manhattan's most legendary shape-shifters — it has hosted a groundbreaking nightclub, a trendy shopping space, an edgy gym and a myriad of pop-ups over the decades. Now, it appears the deconsecrated church stands to sell or find a new tenant. Advertisement The Instagram account @newyorklocals shared photos of the advertisements earlier this week. 'Can someone please make this the Limelight again?' the caption asked, referring to the fabled turn-of-the-century nightclub. 11 The massive signage outside of the Sixth Avenue structure.

Getty Images Before the site became an icon of '80s nightlife — or a den of drug-fueled iniquity, depending on who you ask — the Church of the Holy Communion was your typical Episcopalian place of worship, catering to Sixth Avenue's well-heeled WASPs 100 years before before the term even existed. The sprawling and asymmetrical stone facade was initially built in the mid-19th century. It was made a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966. Advertisement The church emptied out as the neighborhood declined in the '60s and '70s, Curbed reported in 2016, leasing on the cheap to an academic research group and a rehabilitation center before it fell into the hands of a visionary nightclub owner, Peter Gatien. Gatien's Limelight — one of several clubs the Canadian businessman operated in the city — launched with a bang in 1983. Andy Warhol hosted opening night and the church's chapel space was used for foam parties, according to Curbed. 11 An archival image of the property.

Patrick McMullan The Limelight's debaucherous atmosphere defined the most famous era of NYC rave culture, but it is widely reported that the business devolved into a drug-dealing hotspot. The club had close ties to the countercultural Club Kids, and the brutal murder and dismemberment of drug dealer Angel Melendez for which the club's promoter, the late Michael Alig, was convicted. Repeated crackdowns by the city proved too much for Gatien, who was plagued by his own legal issues. The final iteration of the Limelight shut its doors for good in 2010, and the club's gothic home went on to new but unlucky chapters in retail and fitness. In 2010, the site became a three-story boutique shopping destination for artisanal brands, but that endeavor lasted just a few years. Then it became a nightclub-themed gym, a French bistro and successive pop-ups. More recent plans sought to turn the church into a performance space. 11 A coal fired pizzeria inside the old church takes its name from the former club. Emily Davis/ Advertisement 11 Outdoor seating at the property's dim sum restaurant. Emily Davis/ Today, the giant red doors of the Church of the Holy Communion's main sanctuary are securely locked. The extremities of the once-sacred property are occupied by the Limelight Pizza NYC and Jue Lan Club, a dim sum restaurant. Employees of both establishments told The Post that their properties are separately operated from the main sanctuary. Two employees who spoke with The Post were unaware of any details regarding the sanctuary's current ownership or plans to find a new occupant. They confirmed that the sanctuary is currently vacant. City records indicate the entire parcel is owned by Mansion Realty LLC. The LLC is connected to Ben Ashkenazy's real estate firm, Ashkenazy Acquisition Corporation. Advertisement Despite the flashy adverts, no public listings for the enigmatic property have materialized. A representative for the company confirmed it owns the building, but parties privy to additional details on the potential sale/lease could not be reached by press time.

‘Modern Family' star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons ‘surprised' by the reaction over coming out as bisexual
'Modern Family' star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons said she didn't expect the reaction she got when she came out as bisexual in June. 'I didn't even mean to come out, I just thought the video was really fun. I just thought it was kind of funny.

Husband of Telemundo host and ex-beauty queen stole $1.6M from fitness influencer, lawsuit alleges
Telemundo star and former Puerto Rico beauty queen Aleyda Ortiz's husband was accused of stealing $1.6 million from a popular Latino fitness influencer, according to a lawsuit. Ricardo Casanova, a financial advisor who has been married to the TV host for eight years, allegedly siphoned corporate funds from Alejandro Chabán, a Venezuelan-born entrepreneur, wellness advocate and television personality, the $4.8 million civil theft lawsuit claims. Casanova worked as Chabán's financial consultant beginning in 2017, with access to corporate bank accounts and financial records, according to the filing in Miami federal court on July 30. Chabán filed suit against Ricardo Casanova (right), the husband of Telemundo host and former beauty queen Aleyda Ortiz (left). WireImage Alejandro Chabán, a Venezuelan-born entrepreneur, wellness advocate and television personality, filed a lawsuit against the husband of a former Puerto Rican beauty queen. Getty Images The complaint alleges that from 2017 until his removal in 2024, Casanova transferred and withdrew company money without permission, channeling it to himself under the guise of compensation far beyond what had been agreed upon. Chabán's attorney, Miranda Soto, said the claim is being brought under Florida's Civil Theft Statute, which allows for triple damages in cases of proven theft. 'Mr. Casanova systematically took funds to which he was not entitled from 2017 until he was discovered in 2024,' Soto said in a statement posted to social media. 'He violated the trust placed in him and his fiduciary duty to Mr. Chabán and his companies. This lawsuit not only seeks to protect Mr. Chabán's businesses, but also his employees, partners, and investors.' The Post has sought comment from Chabán, Ortiz and attorneys for Casanova. The case has attracted attention in Spanish-language media in the US and Latin America thanks to Chabán's reputation as a trusted wellness figure and Ortiz's status as a prominent television host. Ortiz, 36, won a reality beauty competition in 2014 and finished as first runner up in Miss Universe Puerto Rico competion that same year. She has appeared on Telemundo programs, including the morning lifestyle show 'En casa con Telemundo' as well as the celebrity dance competition 'Mira Quién Baila.' Ortiz has not publicly commented on the lawsuit. Chabán, 43, is widely recognized in the Hispanic community for his transformation from an overweight child into a prominent advocate for health and fitness. He has hosted television programs, written best-selling books such as 'Think Skinny, Feel Fit: 7 Steps to Transform Your Emotional Weight and Have an Awesome Life.' He also founded 'Yes You Can!,' a Miami-based nutrition and wellness brand. His public image blends his entertainment career with a focus on physical and emotional wellbeing, and his companies market products and lifestyle plans aimed at Latino consumers in the US and abroad.
