Lindy's
Date EstablishedLocation1921New York
Description
Lindy's was two different deli and restaurant chains in Manhattan, New York City. The first chain, founded by Leo "Lindy" Lindemann, operated from 1921 to 1969. In 1979, the Riese Organization determined that the Lindy's trademark had been abandoned, and opened new restaurants, the last of which closed in February 2018. The original Lindy's location closed in 1957 and beginning June 2017, a Junior's Restaurant now occupies the location. Lindy's was especially well known for its cheesecake, which was at times credited as perhaps the most famous in the United States.
