It’s shaping up to be a bad year for Ghostbusters locations – not only is the Lincoln Center fountain being completely remodeled, but now The Tavern on the Green, where Louis Tully maybe had a milk bone and little Debbie Gibson had her birthday, has filed for bankruptcy, one month before being taken over by a new license holder.
Chapter 11 protection does not mean the restaurant is gone, rather it buys them time to reorganize and get back on their feet, so we’ll see how the rest of the year goes for the famous Central Park eatery.
Yeah, if it’s Chapter 11, I wouldn’t worry yet. But that’s an iconic part of NYC. No way it should close.
Horrible news… It is an iconic part of NYC, I’m sure even if it DID close someone would come and buy it out or somthin. They wouldn’t demo it i’m sure. And it will always be Tavern on the Green. IMO.
Then again, what the hell do I know!
I need to go and visit NY soon before all the buildings and places were GB was filmed dissapear!!
Debbie Gibson was in Ghostbusters? Or is that a separate thing?
Ok, I searched online; she was in that film!?!! And this was before her first CD came out…weird…cool…yo!
this sucks for most of you its just a movie location but i use to go there all the time when i was at Pace U, the memories!
Yeah, I remember how festive and 70’s-ish Monterrey County, California was when I lived there…”real” record stores, CD stores, never-know-what-you’ll-find pawnshops, Bambi-ish forest-laden drives,… I’d hate to think how sterile it’s probably become since I left in summer 1997…I saw pictures of the mall in Salinas a couple feet away from the theater where I saw GBII at the age of 5, online a couple years ago and I was like “it’s a totally different place now!”, that about did it for me; not much I’m interested in learning about the ‘progress’ that place has made…
