Lindy's

Lindy's is a deli and restaurant with two locations in Manhattan, New York City, at 825 7th Avenue (at 53rd Street) and 401 7th Avenue (at 32nd Street). Lindy's is best known for its original incarnation which opened in 1921 on Broadway. It is currently owned by the Riese Organization.

History

Lindy's was opened by Leo "Lindy" Lindermann (died 1957, Parkinson's disease) and his wife Clara on August 20, 1921, and was located at 1626 Broadway, between 49th and 50th Streets. A second location was opened at 1655 Broadway in 1929. The original Lindy's location closed in 1957. In 1969, the 1655 Broadway location was acquired by Longchamps restaurants, who closed the restaurant in September 1969 to convert it into a steak house (it became a Steak & Brew and later a Beefsteak Charlie's).

Damon Runyon was a big fan and wrote the restaurant into his books as "Mindy's." The musical Guys and Dolls, based on Runyon's writings, immortalizes Lindy's in one of its songs.

Milton Berle frequented Lindy's almost on a nightly basis.
