//The line

EV Grieve quoted Glenn, a rent-stabilized tenant on East 3rd Street since 1991, describing the Nuyorican Poets Cafe near his apartment: "There are some nights when I come home and there will be a line waiting to go in" (EV Grieve, evgrieve.com/2018/01/i-am-rent-stabilized-tenant_19.html).

Glenn's account, as reported by EV Grieve, framed the line as a marker of the venue's ongoing draw for poetry readings and performances, distinguishing it from newer commercial hotspots in the rapidly changing East Village (EV Grieve).
