After news hit last month that beloved LES art bar Max Fish would be closing by the end of January, droves of New Yorkers (including us) rushed to the bar for as many farewell drinks as they could fit in before they had to say goodbye for good. We're not sure whether the influx of patrons has anything to do with Paper Magazine's report that owner Uli Rimkus has convinced landlords to let the bar stay open another year, but we're fine with taking the credit.
Rimkus has reportedly negotiated to stay open at the current location for another year, after which she will need to find another location. In the most speculative of speculations, Eater says, "It seems safe to assume that Max Fish's subtenant, the Pink Pony, is also safe for an additional year." But a Pink Pony waitress (who wished to remain anonymous) told us only this: "We will not be closing at the end of the month."
