East Village Noise Wars: Beer Pong Under Attack!

Eater reports on new Avenue A bar Aces & Eights' review in front of a prickly Community Board 3 last night: "A number of EVill oldtimers stood up to complain about noise, while the CB members questioned the lack of food in the restaurant, the 13 TVs (they were allowed to have only two), and the advertisements for drinking games. In his defense the owner said food was on the way—though we think it's safe to assume he means wings, nachos, and bar snacks— and that beer pong should not be equated with binge drinking, 'It's one pitcher divided into 16 cups!'"
