Newly Opened East Village IHOP to Hire Bouncer

Here's an unexpected twist in the saga of the just now opened 24-hour IHOP on East 14th Street: "An off-duty cop will stand guard outside the East 14th franchise each night from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. in order to keep the bar crowd at bay, manager Michael Carlos said, explaining, 'When people have a few drinks, they can get rowdy.'" Apparently it's going to be the go-to place once the bars in the East Village close.
