Long Island restaurant closures

The Gristmill in East Rockaway is another victim of the dining havoc wreaked by the coronavirus.

The Port Jefferson shop could not overcome the havoc wreaked by COVID-19.

Once numbering more than a dozen locations, there are no plans to reopen the only remaining Bobby's Burger Palace on Long Island.

The shop managed to weather the first weeks of the pandemic with a takeout menu, but announced the permanent closure June 30.

Hundreds of its devoted fans waited for hours to say goodbye.

It was one of the first restaurants on LI to offer fish that came directly from Tokyo's Tsukiji market. 

"With the pandemic," co-owner Raquel Wolf said, "we just couldn't sustain it any more."

A new seafood spot will open in the same space within weeks.

The chain, founded by a former LIer, is known for its signature pies cooked in a 900-degree oven.

A note on the window said coronavirus "crushed" the spot's catering business.
