Curtis Sliwa ‘sitting Shiva’ for the Times Square Red Lobster, blames ‘all the shrimp you can eat’ deals

Curtis Sliwa, known for his role as a former mayoral candidate and Guardian Angels co-founder, is expressing deep concern about the closure of the Times Square Red Lobster, metaphorically "sitting Shiva" to mourn its passing. He attributes the restaurant's downfall to its all-you-can-eat shrimp deals, which he believes led to unsustainable business practices. This situation highlights broader concerns about the long-term viability of such promotional strategies in the competitive dining sector.
