"The landlord argues Glenn's 2020 death voided the lease at 140 West 44th Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues - a claim Glenn's son, Adam, is challenging in court, accusing Durst of exploiting his elderly father in negotiations and trying to push out a bar long known for its extremely cheap beers, boxing nostalgia, and neighborhood roots. The filing also accuses the landlord of racism toward the bar's Black customers, Crain's reports."
"Momofuku's Bāng Bar (remember the spot that opened in 2016?) at the Shops at Columbus Circle is teaming up with Greenpoint's Taqueria Ramirez (which debuted in 2021) on Wednesday, December 10, from 4 to 8 p.m., for a limited-run menu of Korean Mexican mashups - including a lamb barbacoa bowl, fried fish bowl, and Bāng Bar's flatbread wrap."
The Durst Organization moved to evict Jimmy's Corner, a Times Square boxing bar open since 1971, arguing the founder's 2020 death voided the lease at 140 West 44th Street. Owner's son Adam Glenn is fighting the eviction in court and alleges the landlord exploited his elderly father, sought to push out the longtime neighborhood bar, and discriminated against its Black customers. Adam says any departure requires a buyout for the lease through 2029; the space is about 1,000 square feet with rent near $5,000 monthly. Separately, Attaboy plans to expand into Good Guys, and Momofuku's Bāng Bar will collaborate with Taqueria Ramirez for a limited Korean-Mexican menu.
