I can't tell you exactly when the Luca Lounge closed on Avenue B between 13th Street and 14th Street... I'm guessing it was in April?
In any event, the space is for rent...
Happened to spot the listing at the Croman 9300 site... and it refers to the Luca Lounge as "legendary" ... which must explain why the asking rent is $19,995 dollars per month...
Meanwhile, the Luca Bar remains open on St. Mark's Place...
Woah...
ReplyDeleteI worked there for way longer than I'd like to admit, starting shortly after it opened. Sad... It was really something in it's hey-day! Eventually it was overrun with shitty NYU kids demanding Jaeger Bombs and SoCo Lime shots- asking for mozzarella sticks and breaking the toilets. Practically every stinkin' weekend someone would break the damn shitter. Why? Just why?
The original space for Luca (before they took over the laundromat to make the back lounge) is at 220 Ave. B. It's a doggie daycare now- Paws and Relax. Its a great space- took my dog there once, talk about surreal! Same windows, same doors, same garden, lots of dogs.... Crazy...
Sad to see it has closed..I always tried to make a stop there when I was in LES. Never understood why these aholes would come into a place and wreck it...
