Ruby's last day...?

As of today, Ruby's Bar and Grill is still in negotiations for a new lease, so we don't know if they'll be back next season or if this last Sunday was really, truly, the last day.  Assuming it was, I went out to the boardwalk to bid farewell and to soak up everything I want to remember.

After a freak October snowstorm the previous day, Sunday was clear and sunny - perfect for sitting outside.



Inside, patrons watched some football...



Others played pinball...



While out front, a mysterious sea creature made an appearance...



What ever it is, I love it.



Meanwhile, the famous photographs came down from the walls...



And some parts of the room were already stripped bare.



Here's to a true Brooklyn/New York/American treasure.



You can see more photos of Ruby's here.
