Two Legendary Manhattan Dive Bars Are Being Revived
Briefly

Two iconic New York dive bars, Billymark's West and Lucy's, are making a comeback this year after temporary closures. Billymark's West will reopen at 332 Ninth Avenue under bar owner Michael Zieleniewski, while Lucy's, previously facing eviction due to a rent hike, is set to relaunch with original owner Ludwika Mickevicius involved. In contrast, the vegan hotspot Sunday C&C will close soon, as owner Christian Torres seeks to establish a new venture. Additionally, Australian chain Little Ruby's will open its fifth location in Brooklyn, bringing its all-day menu to Williamsburg.
Billymark's West, a beloved New York dive bar since 1956, is set to reopen at its original location, revitalizing the local bar scene after closing last summer.
Lucy's, an iconic East Village bar, has recently changed ownership due to eviction caused by rent increase. Plans for reopening with involvement from original owner are underway.
The vegan food stall Sunday C&C, known for its Latin American dishes, will close on March 30, as the owner prepares to launch a new restaurant later this year.
Little Ruby's Cafe, a popular Australian eatery, is set to open its first Brooklyn location in Williamsburg, expanding its reach in New York's vibrant food scene.
