P.J. Clarke's Woodbury Set to Open Nov. 24

P.J. Clarke’s – the popular New York establishment made famous for its burgers, bar and frequent A-listers – is opening its first Long Island location on Nov. 24 at 8289 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury, just west of the Crest Hollow Country Club.

“P.J. Clarke’s is a Manhattan legend for generations of men and women who spent time at our Third Avenue location,” said Phil Scotti, owner of P.J. Clarke’s, referring to the original restaurant that dates back to 1884. “Now we’re bringing that same neighborhood vibe and welcoming attitude to Long Island.”

P.J. Clarke’s Woodbury draws on the New York City history of the original Third Avenue location while taking advantage of a more spacious setting. The restaurant features a heated outdoor deck and a second floor for private events.

Menu offerings include black Angus steak, cast iron baked macaroni and cheese, and the signature “Cadillac” burger, which is how Nat King Cole referred to P.J. Clarke’s bacon cheeseburger back in the late 1950s.

Opened first on New York’s Upper East Side back in 1884, PJ Clarke’s now has two additional locations in Manhattan, one in Washington and two in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

P.J. Clarke’s has been a draw for such stars as Frank Sinatra, Jackie Kennedy, Buddy Holly, Johnny Depp, Brooke Shields and Dave Matthews.

The Woodbury location was most recently home to Majors Stakehouse, which did not renew its lease.
