They're closing because the eating habits and trends of "millennials" don't match up with what a lot of these restaurants are offering.Look at Applebee's and Friday's and other "casual" dining places...Fridays is almost extinct at this point. |

I'm not a millennial but I've never seen the point of Friendly's and TGIF.If I just want to keep from feeling hungry, they take up way too much of my time. If I want a good dining experience, they don't provide good enough food. I'd rather eat at a place with better food. |

The kind of place where one of the best restaurants in town is the Friendly's is the kind of place I only visit to go hiking. :)And then I'm not usually interested in fine dining. |

Because you live in New York City.In much of the country, Friendly's and TGIF have better food. You've got it backwards. NYC has much better food than much of the country. Friendly's and TGIF suffer in comparison with the local fare. |

I'm not a millennial but I've never seen the point of Friendly's and TGIF.Friendly's served breakfast which was a niche for me when traveling. I avoided it after the griddle closed. It was a second choice for breakfast, if there were no local establishments open. |

Friendly's and TGI Fridays are two different types of restaurants. 9ne is a bar/grill, the other, a dineresque ice cream parlor.But point taken I never cared much for friendly's. And there's better options than TGI Fridays for that type of food. |

You are correct most of the change suck in NYC area.I know TGI Friday started in New York but my worst experience at one of them was one of the Manhattan ones. New York doesn't do any chains well. |
