red lobster times square closure signals the end of an era for tourists who just wanted some cheddar bay biscuits and a mid-life crisis after a Broadway show
AITA for thinking this is peak capitalism? The iconic Red Lobster in Times Square is closing its doors after years of serving up frozen shrimp to confused visitors. Word is, the rent in that area is more than their entire annual lobster budget, so they're pulling the plug. TL;DR, another chain bites the dust because nobody wants to pay $40 for a "seafood feast" in a basement that smells like regret and stale butter. Pour one out for the tourists who now have to find a new place to take a break from overpriced shows and Elmos. Honestly, this is on par with that time they ran out of Endless Shrimp—an absolute clown fiesta. 🔔🗽
