TONY has it that Southpaw owner Matthew Roff, currently involved in the final stages of opening new Prospect Heights beer garden Franklin Park, plans to sign a lease tomorrow on the Galapagos space in Williamsburg.
The name: Natural Selection. “We’re all fans of Darwin, obviously,” says Roff, who will partner with the owners of popular South Slope watering hole Bar Four. “We were originally going to call it Madagascar—we are trying to have some continuity between "Natural Selection" and the new Galapagos.”
Roff plans to retain the location as a performance space, and tells us the transformation could be “weeks away.” Galapagos, as has been widely reported, will relocate to Dumbo sometime in 2009.

it might have been more considerate to include all parties involved; for example, i’m his business partner @ southpaw & have as much to do w/ Natural Selection as Matthew, Ted, Larry & Espo (Bar 4, Matchless, Apt 138, Camp, Sebu), including coming up with both names “Madagascar”, & “Natural Selection”
accuracy is important…i’m surprised Matty didn’t try & chime these things in so his partners could get some shine as well…
no big deal
