Bay Ridge locals mourn closing of century-old diner
In the wake of the recent closing of a legendary Bay Ridge restaurant that dates back to the late 19th century, area residents have been sharing their sadness over the closing on social media.
Anopoli Ice Cream Parlor and Family Restaurant, at 6920 3rd Avenue, has served its last meal. “After 26 years, we decided it is time to close our doors. We like to thank you for the years of loyalty and patronage,” read a sign posted on its front door on Aug. 28.
“It has been our pleasure to serve you and be part of your memories. With gratitude, Steve, Manny and Ria,” the sign added.
