"East Village dive bar Niagara is currently home to illustrations that could be worth millions. Japanese pop artist Yoshitomo Nara doodled on Niagara’s wall 10 years ago, and now that he’s a famed artist, those off-the-cuff sketches are highly valuable. His last painting “Knife Behind Back” sold for $25 million at Sotheby’s Hong Kong on Sunday, making these illustrations potentially worth $5 million, according to industry experts. Niagara has been an Alphabet City go-to for a night of dancing with raucous vibes since 1997. There are often DJ’s, a well as a daily happy hour with $4 draft beer and wine. But right now, it’s unlikely that the bar could make money off of the sketches; Nara’s rep says the artist doesn’t want to see the works sold." - Stefanie Tuder
