BREAKING: Colandrea New Corner Restaurant closes after 84 years
A legendary Dyker Heights restaurant has served its last meal.
After more than 80 years, Colandrea New Corner Restaurant has closed. The Italian eatery, at 7201 Eighth Ave., opened in 1936 as a one-room pizzeria and evolved into a three-room, full-service venue that fed generations of food lovers.
“After much deliberation, sadness, and a heavy heart, I decided – after 84 years of business – to officially announce that I will not be reopening Colandrea New Corner Restaurant,” said owner Vincent Colandrea.
