Cafe Pick Me Up, East Village, NYC. Closed.

Café Pick Me Up on Avenue A in the East Village closed in May 2015 after 20 years in business. It was reported that the landlord wanted to raise the coffee shop's rent from $6,000 a month to $15,000 a month and that property taxes the business had to pay (totaling $30,000 in 2014) also increased, forcing the business to close.
