I guess it is not surprising , I've read a lot how most new restaurants in NYC rarely last more than two years, tough biz.

Athletes who invest in businesses usually fail.

I loved that a Darryl Strawberry restaurant ever existed, but locating it in a neighborhood pub in Douglaston instead of say, Times Square, seemed a longshot from the start.

It was a better concept than a restaurant. The food left a lot to be desired.

I suppose I'll just have to tell the grandkids about it, immediately before explaining who the f*ck Darryl Strawberry was.

Restaurants are among the most likely businesses to fail - and so what do athletes usually invest in? ...

I don't know how much of a stake Strawberry had in it. The people that own Southern Hospitality in Manhattan owned it. If he really had a lot of money in it, I think he would have been there more often.

Darren @ The7Line wrote a eulogy of it that has more info about who ran it and what not. [url]http://the7line.com/rip-strawberrys/#disqus_thread It was always kind of out of the way for me, but I stopped in a couple of times when I was invited (post-Hofstra conference for instance) and had fun. I actually enjoyed the new menu because it was connected with an awesome selection of beers, but it sounds like they packaged it with some sterile pretension that alienated it's core clientele. I actually have a gift certificate there from like a year ago that I never used. oops.

Southern Hospitality is terrific. Strawberry's was named for a Met. Somehow that should have meshed into something transcendent.

Wonder how many other restaurants served their last meal this week. They may have gotten out while the gettin' was good.

Gallagher's in NYC is due to close early in 2013. Would not shock me if they closed up shop a few months ahead of schedule.

A seat from the Polo Grounds sits in the restaurant's lobby. Somebody monitor the front curb.
