After nearly a year in business, this outpost of the chainlet has closed at 225 First Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street. Google lists them as permanently closed. Workers have been breaking down the interior...
The restaurant, described as a Cajun Seafood Boil & Bar, never got the chance to serve beer and wine... which a sign on the door points out is coming soon... 
This address was previously a Checkers, which closed in late 2020 after six years in business.
Thanks to Steven for the photos!
Yikes… at first glance I was excited about a new seafood spot but it’s a closing! Totally missed it. That 1st Ave block is a sh*t show of restaurant shuffles. Hey, we could use a smoke shop in the area.
ReplyDeleteman, tuff! lovely plants in the apt above!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and the dropped acoustic ceiling is awesome
DeleteAh, what a bummer. I ate there a few times - was delicious, but the inside was always empty, so it's not a surprise they're closing.
ReplyDeleteDunno where I'll go to get seafood boils now!
Any place that calls itself a "boil" reminds me of the unfortunately-named "Red And Gold Boil" that closed a few years ago. (How many people walked by that place and said to themselves, "That boil should be lanced!")
ReplyDeleteCrab Du Jour has had several quick open and quick close scenarios across the Easter half of the US. Some as short as 3 months - why would a business do this? Food was pretty good, but yes empty, so it was weird. Reminds me of the old NY italian restaurants that used to be empty back in the 70s and 80s.
