Longtime East Village resident Abby Ehmann fulfilled a dream and opened her first bar back in early July.
Now tomorrow (Saturday), Ehmann is hosting the official grand opening of Lucky at 168 Avenue B between 10th Street and 11th Street. (The space was home to Boxcar, which closed in February after 18 years in business.)
Ehmann aspires to foster a sense of community at Lucky. To date, the bar has provided space for Gays Against Guns' poster and t-shirt painting parties, Waggytail Rescue's adoption socials and other gatherings, including memorials.
She also says that she "hopes to attract people who feel unwelcome or out of place at the many newer East Village establishments."
The bar opens at noon. (Free pizza is expected around 6 or 7 p.m. tomorrow.)

Congrats Abby! I'm sending some Montreal friends your way! Have a fantastic opening!
Won't be able to get there this weekend but I will soon. Congrats and good luck to Abby, first time I have ever seen her in flats!
You can add my birthday to the list of gatherings that have happened there. Definitely going over tomorrow since I'm one of the people that feels unwelcome at the new EV establishments.
Congrats!
In true DPW fashion, Gameshow and Katy will be flying from Oregon Saturday so we can be a day late and a dollar richer for the tip jar at at Lucky's on Sunday night! Congrats, Abby, on dustin' yer dream!!!
Here's to a long life for Lucky on Ave B!
Yay Gameshow and Katy! Go Saint Abby go Lucky!
I'm psyched that she opened this place and I'll be a regular there, but she's got to stop blasting music outside at 1AM. To be fair, it might not be her.
Ha Abby! Your comment is great! All of us at B-side wish you the best of luck! I'll stop in for a drink asap!
