Lucy's

The NYC Bar Hit List: Great New Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Lucy’s was the East Village’s favorite dive bar for over 40 years. Then it closed. Then the team behind sceney bars like Le Dive and The Nines took it over. Some people were worried. (Would they put caviar on the menu?) But the new Lucy’s is almost exactly the same—from the graffiti in the bathroom to the uneven flooring up front. The only noticeable differences are a neon pink sign out front, and the absence of Lucy, who is no longer behind the bar. Or at least, no longer behind the bar every night. But keep an eye out. She still comes around." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, andrew ryce
