"The nearly 25-year-old pub at 150 W. 47th St. will close on January 18 after the landlord wanted to raise the rent to $53,000 a month from $16,000, the Post reports. Co-owner Des O’Brien says despite several counter offers from him and his partners, landlord A&R Kalimian would not budge on the higher ask, which more than doubled the monthly payment. Over the years, Langan’s drew names like Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and John McCain after seeing Broadway shows, and it was the unofficial Post hangout." - Stefanie Tuder
