Former Met to open restaurant in Douglaston

From NY Magazine:

Yanks fans have Mickey Mantle’s off of Central Park, and now Mets fans will have Strawberry’s Sports Grill in … Douglaston, Queens! A Craigslist ad seeks a GM for “Darryl Strawberry’s new restaurant,” which will be called Strawberry’s Sports Grill.

Near Port Washington line of the LIRR? Perfect stop after Mets games...Very smart.

i was involved with strawberry through business a few times recently.

he seemed to have grown up and took counseling to solve his addictive problems.

he has been very loyal to the Yankee management and they have reciprocated.
he was coaching for a while in the west.

i wish him well. he seems like a good person. i will give him support by visiting his restaurant in Queens.

you have to agree that he was one of the best ball players in the league.

Don't forget to try the Righetti Spaghetti and fast balls with "The Big Ragu" sauce.

What's wrong with 143-08 94th Ave, Jamaica?

Mr. Met...NOT!!! said...

A Mets Special on the menu would be the Ed Kranepool two faced grilled cheesy sandwich. He was the former Met who took part in the effort to raise money to pay Claire "Bovine" Shulman's illegal lobbying fines!!!

But bad for Willets Point!

I'm guessing this will be at the site near the Douglaston LIRR that is the now-defunct Michael's Chophouse.

Restaurants at that location have had some trouble staying in business, but with some marketing synergy with the NY Mets it could be a must-stop spot after games, like you said.
