Riverbank Bar & Grill To Open On Roosevelt Island - Our Long Local Dining and Drinking Nightmare May Be Over!


At long last, Roosevelt Island's long nightmare is over. After many years of getting on the Tram, the Subway or going to Queens to watch a game or just have a drink with friends at a bar, Roosevelt Islanders are finally going to have our very own Sportsbar and Grill. It will be located in the space adjacent to the Duane Reade in Riverwalk Building #4.

More details to follow on the Riverbank Bar & Grill plus another surprise addition to the Roosevelt Island food scene.

What about monopoly?
China 1 owner is owner of Japanese restaurant, and Nonno's owner will be owner of new restaurant???
They decide about:
- quality off food...
- variety of food...
- prices...
We should be happy?!

The "surprise" addition to the food scene is going to be a bagel/breakfast place. I spoke to teh owner a few mo ago and he mentioned both the bar and bagel place. SOOO looking forward to both!
