Metropolis Steak & Seafood, located in Staten Island, will close on May 11, 2023. Co-proprietor Richie Holmes described the closure as bittersweet but positive, inviting patrons for a final celebration. Economic factors contributed to the decision, with the high cost of steak and a lack of business during certain seasons impacting sustainability. Post-closure, Holmes will focus on a new Detroit-style pizza venture called Fat Sal's and will later relaunch his Juicy Lucy barbecue restaurants for delivery and takeout.
It's all positive. We invite all of you to come by and have a cocktail, have some bacon, have a steak and have a smile one last time.
The economy is not conducive to any high-end platform. There's just not enough business for Metropolis. When school ends, the Island is a ghost town.
Holmes described the product as a six-slice pie with cheese crisped on the edges with a bunch of different toppings.
We will launch Juicy Lucy as a wholesale enterprise. Of course it will be a brick-and-mortar. We'll have GrubHub and DoorDash.
