Mermaid Oyster Bar Times Square

Manhattan Seafood Restaurant the Mermaid Inn to Open in Times Square | Eater NY

"Heading to Times Square, the Mermaid Inn will open its largest location to date at 127 West 43rd Street (between Sixth and Seventh avenues) next spring: a gargantuan 15,500-square-foot space with room for approximately 550 seats. The seafood restaurant, which already has locations in Chelsea, Greenwich Village, and the Upper West Side, is being led by owners Danny Abrams and Cindy Smith in partnership with Jeffrey Bank, CEO of Alicart Restaurant Group; the team has tapped $3 million from international investors for the Times Square expansion after typically self-funding their openings. The announcement, first reported by the New York Post, marks the team’s fourth location (not including the planned East Village reopening) and has been framed as a big win for a neighborhood still slow to bounce back from pandemic-related tourism declines." - Luke Fortney
