Jimmy's Corner, a beloved Times Square dive bar founded in 1971 by former boxer Jimmy Glenn, is facing eviction. The bar, known for its unchanged decor, low prices, and close-knit atmosphere, has become a New York City institution. Adam Glenn, Jimmy's son who took over in 2015, is fighting the eviction by filing a lawsuit against the Durst Organization, alleging they took advantage of his father during lease negotiations a decade ago. The bar's regulars are concerned about the potential loss of this unique and affordable space in a rapidly changing area of Manhattan. Jimmy's Corner has remained a steadfast, unpretentious establishment in the heart of Times Square.
