For 36 years, those who were famous or, much more likely, hoping to become that way filled Kenny’s cavernous interior with their sounds. But early Tuesday the club, on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, will go silent, becoming the latest in a lengthening list of Manhattan music sites to close because of rising costs and dwindling audiences. “We’ve been struggling,” Maria Kenny, one of the owners, said. “The rents have become so astronomical around here that mom-and-pop places just can’t make it happen.” Ms. Kenny said the rent had more than doubled in the last five years."
