New York City's world-famous Le Cirque 2000 restaurant closed in late 2004. Patronized by celebrities and international dignitaries, the New York Palace Hotel is auctioning the restaurant's legendary bar on eBay to clear the abandoned restaurant for something new.

As Was, an eBay Certified Service Provider, designed the custom template used for this auction. "We’re proud to have been a part of such a fun and unique project," said As Was Founder and President, Debbie Levitt. "Any individual or restaurateur now has the opportunity to own a piece of New York’s culinary and social history."

Adam Hersh Auctions, an eBay Trading Assistant, is managing the auction. "We're really excited at the opportunity to help sell a piece of New York City history," said CEO Adam Hersh.

The auction launched on Friday, August 5, 2005 and ends Monday, August 15, 2005.
