21. Randall’s Barbeque (Founded 2018)
One of the youngest casualties on this list, the Lower East Side spot Randall’s Barbeque opened in 2018. On April 1st, 2020, the owner Jared Male posted a heartfelt goodbye on Instagram. Randall’s last meals were donated and delivered to the staff of Wyckoff Hospital hospital on April 3rd, with an Instagram photo and caption:
“We cooked our final meals here today and delivered it to the staff of Wyckoff Hospital in Brooklyn where they are showing up to work everyday, undeterred, to try and save lives. Thank you for doing what you do, and I hope the barbecue provided a brief moment of respite.”
