Another NYC institution bites it. I pity those who never had the cherry pancakes, the Blisters on my Sisters, the omlettes the size of Texas. Kenny is one of those NYC characters that are running in short supply as our town becomes Walmarted for the turistas. Kenny, obnoxious? You betcha. 'In-With-Kenny' to get in? Hardly. Good riddance? Get real.

Kenny is a Genius and a true American treasure. and so is his family, and if you don't get it, better you should eat at effing McDonalds.

wow. i went there twice. i had no idea there was all this "in-with-Kenny" status crap. didn't know it was supposed to be some kind of cool people place. i just thought they had a lot of interesting dishes on the menu. i'm sad it's gone. maybe all you douchebags could quit trying to make everything so "hip" and normal people like me can maybe just eat someplace nice for a change.

Well, those of us who could never claim in-with-Kenny status will do just fine avoiding all of the rest of the other thousands of restaurants that require some sort of vague membership. Buh-bye

It will not be missed. Perhaps by dimwits who think they're surrounded by hordes of supporters, just because they use the passive voice. As for quite a few of us, we will miss Shopsin's quite a bit.
