| Cynthia and Peter at Bar One on NYE |
It’s not surprising that I have no source that went to Bar One last night for NYE. One of my best sources was actually in Miami, where there were, interestingly enough, a surplus of housewives this weekend. What is interesting, if not all that surprising, is the complete dearth of tweets about the NYE celebration at Bar One last night. Not a peep from anyone other than Peter and Cynthia. It would appear that there was very little turnout.I don’t want to make too much out of people not wanting to venture out to a slightly sketchy part of town on NYE. There were lots of glam choices in the ATL last night. Bar One is a resturant/lounge, not exactly what most people are looking for on NYE.
That said, given Peter’s track record with restuarants and clubs, I think it is safe to assume he is not exactly in the black with Bar One.
OMG! I just checked to see what he was charging to get in. You have to see THIS LINK to believe it! Starting at $100 a person going up to $4,500 for the VIP room for 25 guests. No that is not a typo. Are you kidding me? Does Peter know where his bar is located? What on earth makes him think people will pay those prices?
And then there are these tweets from @baroneatl today:

I thought that Cynthia and Peter broke up. I'm surprised to learn that they are still together.Happy NY
I would love to go to bar one!
I saw from the show that Peter bar is not in the best area, but I still wish him the best.At least he seems to try to generate income
Ms. Tamara I am surprised you didn't attend the NYE event at Bar One. What's $4500.00 to a famous writer such as yourself. NJB
What BAR is closed on NYE!?!
It wasn't closed on NYE. And NJB you should have come down and then Marty could have paid our tab! He's the celebrity! 🙂 In the picture, Cynthia has that look like she is being held captive and is trying to use mental telepathy to say, "Help me!".
It looks like they had an ok night from some of the pics attached to the twitter account. I hope he has better success in 2012……He should probably forget about the night club business and focus on something else. IMO.
In the picture, Cynthia has that look like she is being held captive and is trying to use mental telepathy to say, "Help me!". Cynthia really does look like that! I feel bad for her. 🙁
Those prices are way out of the box for a bar in the Getto, I don't care who owns it.
I totally thought it was a free admission event. I never even thought to check ticket prices until I was mostly done with the post. INSANE is what those prices are. Horrifically bad business decision.
Me and the hubby went to Chicago for a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan – had a wonderful 5 course meal, drinks, entertainment and fireworks for $200. Peter is out of his mind! VIP room? Was that the open space we saw on the show? Cynthia should have married Leon – umphLinda
She should have married Leon, and I bet her sister and mother both think so. And that pic does look like she's crying for help. Peter's bar (without air conditioning) is charging 100 dollars a head and 4500 for the VIP COUCH!!!!!!! I think the reason why he's charging that much is because if you look at that bar/lounge it's TOO FREAKING SMALL, even for a lounge. He can't get enough people in there and when people are crowded out like that it's hard for them to feel comfortable and want to buy drinks. So he tried to make up for that by having them pay 100 cover charge. Cynthia do me a favor and everyone else, get out while you can from this man. And I know that he must have borrowed money again from you, don't deny it.
Cynthia looks so unhappy in that picture 🙁
And Peter looks drunk. It's sad. But a perfect example of having someone to kiss on NYE is rarely all it's cracked up to be.Meanwhile, I must have sleepwalked last night because I am exhausted today and don't feel like blogging…
I've heard Peter and others attribute his controlling behavior to his being Jamaican. Is there a Jamaican male stereotype re: their attitudes toward women that I'm unaware of?Also, to this day I'm convinced that the main reason Cynthia married Peter was that she felt pressured by Bravo into going through with it. Whether or not she was justified in feeling this way I'm not sure.
OMG. This is such sweet tea because Peter is an illiterate pig. He is charging those prices hoping to bank on Cynthia's fame. He's using her,yet,he cannot be bothered to help her out much. What a difference between this loudmouthed bully and her sweet baby daddy.
Noelle is such a sweet girl, and it is my sincere hope that when she hits the tween stage (12-14) that Peter isn't mean and nasty to her – the day Peter turns on Noelle is the day that Leon and Peter will butt heads – maybe it's just me, but it seems as though Leon only tolerates Peter- doesn't seem like he likes him very much. But then again, who does like Peter except for NeNe?
Didn't look like a full house from the pictures. That price was ridiculous, no wonder the club looked empty. The cover charge for special seating didn't cover much, liquor super overpriced and as it went from $1K to $4K only the seats and quantity changed a tad. Big mistake and a surefire path to bankruptcy. Hope you feel better soon and Happy New Year!
Anon at 1146: ITA! I am at a loss as to why her and Leon are not together. Drives me crazy. As a single woman, I'm finding that all I ask for in a man is that he is kind, honest, kind, unselfish, kind, funny… did I mention kind? I'm no expert, but I don't get that 'kind' vibe from him. Maybe it's Bravo working their editing magic. But it is more likely that Peter needs some 'Man up' lessons.
Ivy, don't let the stereotype fool ya- Peter saying he's that way because he is Jamaican is a crock. My boyfriend is West Indian, and he is a sweet loving man – and works his ass off – a strong work ethic and sense of family. Peter is an opportunist.
Oh, I absolutely believe you. I just wondered what the stereotype WAS. I didn't even know there was one until everyone started using it to explain his behavior. Whatever his nationality is, he's a major dick. I don't think Cynthia has a chance in hell of owning her own life again until she kicks both Peter and Nene out of her life. Cynthia's become unpleasant, nasty and defensive, and I doubt very much she was that way before those two took over her life.
Yes Cynthia has sad eyes. My step father is Jamaican and my brother in law. They are easy breezy, honest and hardworking men. I attribute Peter’s behavior to being you classic New York thug.
ok so no one is gonna mention that thing in top of her head that we are supposed to call hair….i really wish she'd keep short hair or let it grow out or something because that looks ridiculous. i dont like talking bad about her because i think she seems genuinely nice. and not all ppl from new york are like that, i think thats just him being a natural born asshole and too old to change his ways. i respect that he wants to always make a dollar but he needs to really find another occupation…..and say what u want about cynthia…she always gives good face lol
LOL I wasn't going to mention the hair. I feel like I am always bashing the way these girls look, and it feels icky. But yes, I noticed the hair. Cynthia is stunning though. The hair is the least of her problems. She needs to worry about who she surrounds herself with.
Besides Cynthia – what celebs were there? If he had a bunch of footballers or most of the cast of RHOA – maybe he could have gotten away with charging those ridiculous prices, but Cynthia alone? Um…no.WD
It will be interesting to see how the Peter and Cyn union works out. From what we've seen thus far, it doesent look too good. I realize these episodes were filmed back in the summer, so what we see isn't "fresh", but even if it were in "real time", their relationship lokks shakey at best. He comes across as arrogant and domineering,not very supportive and just downright nasty acting (sometimes) She althought very pretty and smart, seems too submissive (towards him) I may be wrong about her though…cause she doesn't HAVE to do that show. She is famous in her own right and probably wealthy to boot. Just my opinon.
well i wish her lots of success on her model shop. she just need to get rid of peter. ugh! what a looser!
Where is Peter in the pic? All I see is a has been sitting next to a set of false teeth?
