The Metropolitan Room announced that, after 11 years in the Flatiron District, it will be moving to a new location, to open in early 2018. According to managing partner Bernie Furshpan in a statement, "We're designing our future Metropolitan Room in midtown to be a bigger, better and more flexible venue."

The current 34 West 22nd St. location will close on September 30. An opening date for the new venue has yet to be announced. In the interim, though, the Metropolitan Room will present shows at The Triad.

The club will celebrate its 11-year residency at its current quarters with a 24-hour performance marathon starting on Sunday, September 24, at 9pm, and continuing nonstop to Monday, September 25, at 9pm.
