"There are signs of a comeback at Le Poisson Rouge, the famed West Village club that went dark at the start of the pandemic. The popular independent venue, which has been open since 2008 at 158 Bleecker Street, between Thompson and Sullivan streets, closed at the start of the pandemic; it reopened in August 2021, but it hadn’t paid rent since then. It’s now in talks to square up its debts from the pandemic and extend its lease." - Luke Fortney
