End of an Era - The Sly Fox Inn is Closing

On June 27, 2014, The Sly Fox Inn on Union Turnpike will close. Open since 1977, it was a St. John's staple. It was a place where many season ticket holders would grab a bite before a Carnesecca Arena game and a drink after. It was there when I was student and after this week it will be no more than a memory for the St. John's Community. I spent a good amount of time at the Sly Fox and it's more student friendly neighbor Gantry's (anyone remember quart beers for .99 during games?) during my stint in Queens. Both are gone and with them more St. John's history. So wherever you may be hoisting a beverage this week - give a nod to the Sly Fox one last time.
