Why aren't there any Denny's, Cracker Barrels, Sonics, etc, in the Long Island/NYC area?

Question

I love all of them, but I hate only being able to have them when I go either upstate or out of state!

Answer 1

I don't know. I am sorry that you don't have any Sonics or Cracker Barrel restaurants. I love the chicken and dumplings at Cracker Barrel, they are to die for. The one I go to that is 22 minutes away from my town put big chunks of chicken in it. Very yummy, there veggies are good to.

Answer 2

I don't know but if you find one here please post it

Answer 3

Who cares, long island is wasteland anyway.  Nothing out there but pathetic strip malls, endless traffic and racists.

Answer 4

i don't know what that first comment is about, theres everything on long island. except those places!

Answer 5

My guess is that there's too much competition from locally owned restaurants.  I know that when I lived in Jersey, we always ate at locally owned restaurants, especially Italian restaurants and diners.

If you want to go to chain restaurants, come to Indianapolis!  That's about all we have in the moderate price range.

Answer 6

maybe because of all the family owned rest. and dinners!

Answer 7

Why? Too many McDonald's, Burger Kings and Wendy's.

Answer 8

Is there much of anything in LI?
