"Lucy’s, a Manhattan dive bar open since the 1980s, is being evicted by its landlord. Eviction papers on the bar’s front door indicate owner Ludwika 'Lucy' Mickevicius must 'quit, vacate, and surrender,' the premises by February 29. Mickevicius hasn’t had a lease since 2015: She was on a month-to-month arrangement with the previous landlord. In December, the building at 135 Avenue A, between St. Marks Place and East Ninth Street, was sold for $19.1 million to a new owner, who allegedly tried to raise the rent. Lucy’s opened in 1987, according to the eviction papers. Mickevicius took over from the original owners in 1992." - Luke Fortney
