From 1994
Lee Mazzilli, the former New York Mets outfielder, is a partner in Lee Mazzilli’s Sports Cafe, which will open at 208 West 70th Street in mid-May. It is a cavernous place that will have 350 seats, 50 television screens, a sports memorabilia shop and an area with games for children. Mr. Mazzilli said it will be a “family-oriented place where people can bring their kids.” He described the food as American with Italian flair. The chef, Lucius Cherokee Wyatt, worked at Fat Tuesday’s and the Statler-Hilton Hotel. Mr. Mazzilli’s partners are Peter Kramer, a sports marketer who works with athletes, and Wendie Markman, who owns a large dairy.
