Rent is so ridiculous, no business can survive here...

I enjoyed Lenny’s 40 years ago but a good friend told me the pizza wasn’t that good anymore.

if L&B Spumoni Gardens closes, I'm going to lay down on Stillwell Avenue and cry.

It’s so upsetting to see NY losing its identity like this slowly…

Iconic landmarks, businesses and most importantly the awesome people that made being a New Yorker awesome is fading and it’s really depressing.

What have these idiots done to our city?! 😢

I DON'T BLAME THEM. GOOD LUCK ON THE RETIREMENT. 🇺🇸👍🏻

So sad when more Italians leave Brooklyn. It’s just not the same, can’t find good food anymore. God bless them, I hope they move to a better place. 😌🙏🏽🌟🕊

I live right around the corner. Frankly... the pizza is mediocre at best and there are better options elsewhere. Business is not as good as it used to be. Their biggest mistake was closing during the pandemic for 3 months while other pizza places stayed open, offered discounted prices and delivered. I maybe ate there 4 times in my whole life. Never knew what all the hype was about.

I am very pissed off by this 😤 and I can't understand why that this is happening!!! I found out that the so call Chinese want to buy it, all they know how to do is ruin everything!!!! 😡👎

[bonniepaley]

I wonder why Lenny, s children or grandchildren arent taking over the business

[jtsy]

Because there's to much criminals and to much horrible thing's happening that's they made a great decision 👍
