Beyoglu Grill

Paying Tribute to 52 NYC Restaurants That Closed During the Pandemic  - Eater NY

"New York City has a rich array of Turkish food, and for more than 20 years Beyoglu dazzled Upper East Siders from its spacious corner spot on East 81st Street and Third Avenue. On cool summer nights, locals packed the tables and chairs along the sidewalk in front of the restaurant, a sign of the establishment’s enduring popularity. ... The restaurant closed abruptly in the early part of the pandemic after being unable to work out a new lease agreement, but it leaves behind a legion of fans and its long-lasting legacy as a lively neighborhood restaurant." - Eater Staff
