Anyone remember Jillian's by the airport? (Roosevelt, Farmingdale: restaurants, clubs, area)

[SeventhFloor]

If you do, chime in. That was in Farmingdale?

[trusso11783]

Yep. Republic Airport

[nassau2suffolk]

Yes, that was the Dave & Busters type place before there was Dave & Busters.

[tj2013]

Yes one of the many clubs of that era. Not sure if owned by the same wannabe mobsters as the others in the area

Blast from the past. I had a few drunken nights in there.

Jillians Farmingdale -> Dave & Busters -> Stew Leonards

if I recall correctly it opened in 2000.

Black Forest Brew Haus was another good spot in that area. As was the 56th Fighter Group

And both of those are gone too.

when you look at it, the development of that area, as well as the former Roosevelt Raceway, ended up being pretty underwhelming. Lots of big box stores, mediocre chain restaurants, and pretty much zero walkable areas.

56 Fighters was the best. I spent quite a few summer nights there. Anyone else remember the Crazy Donkey?

Ah, my misspent youth.
