Lucy's will be back open on March 11

On Avenue A, Lucy is on a break... and I didn't realize this until I showed up for a drink...

Where you won't be drinking tomorrow: Lucy's

Because she's on holiday...

Lucy's is back from a holiday break

Lovely...



Previously.

At Lucy's: "We miss you!"

Well, Lucy's is on holiday until Sept. 10.

Unfortunately, not everyone knew. There are several notes on Lucy's door for people to meet elsewhere. Like, Amanda's birthday party was moved to the Niagara.





And there are people who just miss Lucy.



Like us. So. A few randomy random photos from our Lucy's photo archives from this past year...

What will we do until Sept. 10?

Lucy told us that she'd be leaving for Poland for several weeks. Still. Anyway, here are a few shots -- drinking, playing with a camera -- to hold us over until Sept. 10. Avenue A between Ninth and 10th Street.

Nails to be done at old Blue space

The former fancy dress shoppe Blue on Avenue A next to Lucy's is a prime chunk of EV real estate...and it ...



...will be the new home to Top A Nails, the salon that's now on A between Ninth Street and 10th Street.

At Lucy's.

On Avenue A: Blue bolts; waiting for the return of Lucy's

Blue, the fancy dress shop on Avenue A between St. Mark's and Ninth Street, has moved to a new location in Nolita. Prime chunk of EV real estate is now presumably available — right across the street from the Park. By the way, the store is directly next door to Lucy's, which we hope reopens tonight as the sign on the door promises...

In front of Lucy's: A sight that gave me the yikes

Given the possible state of our local dive bars today, you have to wonder about great places in high-rent districts such as Lucy's on Avenue A.

So when I saw the dumpster there in front of Lucy's yesterday afternoon...I couldn't help but think the worst. And I'm not alone in this thinking...and she has floated retirement rumors in the past.

Not to worry, though! I took a stroll by the place after its usual 6 p.m. opening time yesterday...Lucy's is still alive and well, the neon bar signs out front as inviting as ever...
