Lucky Strike's closing feels like the beginning of something more ominous, writes asytsma
Lucky Strike, a tiny bistro that had an outsize influence on downtown dining. Photo: Courtesy of Lucky Strike The last time I ate at Lucky Strike, the lived-in little bistro on Grand Street, I noticed that the bar’s copper covering had long ago chipped off in a way that seemed unintentional; the omelet I ate was probably no better or no worse than what you’d get at the other little bistro on the opposite side of West Broadway; and it would be charitable to call the bartender’s mood “indifferent.
Now, as Eater reports, it’s closed for good. McNally, who is himself recovering from the coronavirus, tells the site that the COVID-19 pandemic made the restaurant’s financial situation untenable. This is a bummer, mostly for the people who had hoped to work there again one day, as well as for anyone looking to squeeze out a few more good memories inside its narrow dining room over plates of steak tartare and salade niçoise.
