Losing Mars Bar was a huge gentrification blow to the East Village, but it's not the only 'hood where dive bars are being pushed out. Subway Inn on East 60th Street is the latest to be threatened, but Lulu's in Greenpoint closed this August and the Ding Dong Lounge on West 105th Street also closed this summer. Nearly all have been replaced by trendy, less-beer-stained boutiques or new construction. [NYT; previously]
