I had no clue the one by Penn Station closed, kinda strange since I pass by there pretty often.
THE ONE IN PENN CLOSED AROUND 2011!!!!!
The one outside of Penn on the corner of 7th Avenue and 33rd St. just closed last week... THE FINAL ROYS! (in NYC)
edit: I took a walk over there a few days ago... all the machines were cleaned, unplugged, and stacked by the front door. Everything was empty. All the tables/chairs from Lindys stacked and ready to go. I saw one manager looking person inside the Roy Rogers and I put my hands up like "WTF?" ... he did the neck gesture of "thats it" .... and a sign on the doors said closed.
It's difficult to promote when most younger people don't know who the hell Roy was. Kids will always drag parents to Ronald McDonald or the repulsive Burger King because both will never die, but Roy Rogers always had a serious name recognition passed the baby boomers. You gotta love a guy who couldn't bear to put his dead horse in the ground so took him to the taxidermist.
Dude, why do you feel the need to nitpick on that? Everyone knows Secaucus is not NYC but obviously people are saying there are Roy Rogers nearby. Now we're going to go off on some worthless argument on how Secaucus is or isn't NYC. I mean, who the hell cares? It's stuff like this that makes this forum annoying.
