Lundy’s RIP
First visited Lundy’s in the 70’s - a massive barn like structure - 2500 diners - eating all at once - no host - hostess - maitre’d - if you was someone finishing their meal - you staked a position behind them - so that when they paid and got to to leave - you could claim their seat at the table - great seafood - but it was the “circus” I will always remember -
Fast forward to 2000 something - Lundy’s reopened - a mere 875 seats - still in Sheepshead Bay - but this time - with a maitre’d - we had several wonderful meals - each a journey from cosmo Manhattan - one in particular - sitting in the bar area - featuring an amazing cast of bar/Brooklyn characters -
Announced yesterday in The New York Times - Lundy’s The giant Sheepshead Bay seafood restaurant, which opened in 1934, has closed - RIP
