I imagine the smoking ban didn't go down too well with the customers. Do any of these old NYC dives still exist? I imagine the smoking ban didn’t go down too well with the customers.

Usually right at that first barstool in the foreground of that pic. Weird how you often gravitate to the same spot in a familiar bar. It was my second-favorite dive bar in that neighborhood after the Holiday Cocktail Lounge on St. Mark's. I haven't been around there in several years, and I heard it might be gone now. But, for a while, Stefan Lutek held sway over the grimiest dive bar I ever came across. Ever since he passed away at 89 a couple of years ago, a friend and I start off every night of drinking with a salute to the oldest, crabbiest bartender we ever met. Had many a fine time at Lucy’s.
