Red Lobster Times Square Closure Leaves Only Endless Shrimp to Cry Over
In a move that has social media users both mourning and memeing, Red Lobster has shuttered its iconic Times Square location, marking the end of an era for tourists seeking Cheddar Bay Biscuits between Broadway shows. The irony isn't lost on the internet: a restaurant famous for "Endless Shrimp" couldn't sustain itself in a neighborhood known for endless foot traffic and $40 cocktails. Fans are now circulating a petition to replace the neon lobster sign with a live-stream of someone eating a lonely biscuit, captioned "Times Square's last crustacean." Cue the sad trombone—and the jokes about how this closure is the real "crustacean" of a financial collapse.
