For 54 years, Jimmy’s Corner has been a refuge. In the heart of a changing Times Square, this narrow, boxing-themed bar offered cheap drinks and a genuine welcome to everyone from tourists to taxi drivers.
Now, the legendary dive bar faces eviction. Its landlord has filed a lawsuit to remove the business. The reason given is non-payment of rent.
The bar's owner, Jimmy Glenn, is a former boxing trainer. He is known for his kindness. Regulars and fans are now rallying to save the establishment. They see it as one of the last authentic pieces of old New York.
The future of Jimmy's Corner is uncertain. Its potential closing would mark the end of an era for the famous New York City neighborhood.
