Lady Gaga managed to recapture the magic of Rivington St. in the 2000s after her Madison Square Garden show on Monday night. After her final performance for her “Mayhem” tour, the “Abracadabra” singer and her fiancé Michael Polansky headed downtown to Maison Nur for a celebration with family and friends. One person described it as Gaga’s “return to the Lower East Side.” She famously honed her performance skills in the Manhattan neighborhood 20 some years ago, singing at now defunct dive bar St. Jerome’s with acts like Lady Starlight, jazz man Brian Newman and Breedlove, who were both on hand this week to fete her accomplishments. Only this time, she had Polansky, who is also her artistic collaborator, by her side.
