"Second City, the Chicago comedy club known for launching the careers of comedians like Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert, announced last fall that it had signed on a space in Williamsburg — its first expansion to New York. Now the 11,900-square-foot venue — which reportedly will also include a full-service restaurant and bar in addition to its stages — has an opening date: November 16 at 64 N. Ninth Street, near Kent Avenue, according to Greenpointers. The opening comes on the heels of the venue being accused of alleged union-busting tactics after it closed an outpost in Los Angeles, following staff unionization efforts." - Emma Orlow
