Lucy's, an iconic dive bar in the East Village, is in danger of closing its doors forever after nearly 40 years of operation.
The new owner of the building that houses Lucy's is more than tripling the rent to $25,000 a month, making it unaffordable for the current owner.
Lucy's owner, Ludwika 'Lucy' Mickevicius, is facing eviction next month and hopes that someone will take over the bar to prevent its closure.
