In February 1993, Runway 51 took over the former New Leaf bar under the ownership of "Al and Roger." In Step magazine praised extensive interior work, but a November 1993 ad reported the bar was under new management. Runway 51 seems to have closed by the end of 1993. We welcome any available information about this location.
