Tony C’s opening at<br />
Northshore Mall in May<br />
Tony C’s Sports Bar & Grill,<br />
a popular sports bar with four<br />
existing locations throughout<br />
the Greater Boston area, will<br />
open its fifth outpost at the<br />
Northshore Mall in Peabody<br />
this May. Located at 210 Andover<br />
Street, the 7,700 squarefoot<br />
venue is sure to become<br />
home base for sports fans in<br />
the area, offering an extensive<br />
menu of American comfort<br />
food, 40 beers on tap and<br />
an unparalleled audiovisual<br />
experience with more than 70<br />
high-definition TVs throughout<br />
the restaurant and patio.<br />
Named in honor of Red Sox<br />
legend and North Shore native,<br />
Tony Conigliaro, Tony C’s<br />
Sports Bar & Grill in Peabody<br />
will elevate the typical sports<br />
viewing experience by offering<br />
guests the best of both worlds.<br />
Sports fans will have frontrow<br />
seats to every game with<br />
the restaurant’s four-sided<br />
Jumbotron TV display, large<br />
central bar and booth seating,<br />
while a private dining room<br />
offers a more intimate experience<br />
with seating for up to<br />
38 guests. Tony C’s in Peabody<br />
will offer new features such as<br />
communal, high-top cocktail<br />
tables alongside the bar and<br />
an 817-square-foot outdoor patio<br />
with heat lamps, fans and<br />
seating for up to 54 people.<br />
The restaurant’s décor<br />
pays homage to Tony Conigliaro<br />
and Fenway Park<br />
through the artwork dotting<br />
the walls, but the sleek and<br />
modern interior is accentuated<br />
by a massive, illuminated<br />
marquee of Tony C’s number<br />
25 spanning the private dining<br />
room ceiling, which serves<br />
as one of the restaurant’s<br />
most notable characteristics.<br />
Executive Chef Steve Walsh<br />
will head up the kitchen at<br />
Tony C’s Sports Bar & Grill<br />
at the Northshore Mall, with<br />
a focus on incorporating fresh,<br />
mainly local ingredients into<br />
the menu of American comfort<br />
food and game day staples. A<br />
graduate of Le Cordon Bleu<br />
in Cambridge, Chef Walsh<br />
became an Executive Chef at<br />
age 22 and spent years with<br />
the Tavistock Restaurant Collection,<br />
formerly the Back Bay<br />
Restaurant Group, at both<br />
Joe’s American Bar & Grill<br />
and The Atlantic Fish Company<br />
before joining the Cronin<br />
Group as Executive Chef.<br />
Guests at Tony C’s in Peabody<br />

Wontons (crispy fried,<br />
Sriracha aioli), Fresh Potato<br />
Chips with Tony’s secret sauce,<br />
Cedar Plank Salmon (roasted<br />

Toys-R-Us closing<br />
down impacts two<br />
Peabody locations<br />
By Adam Swift<br />
Editor<br />
Last week, 70-year-old retailer<br />
Toys R Us sought court<br />
approval to liquidate its remaining<br />
735 stores, eliminating<br />
the jobs of 30,000 employees.<br />
Two of those locations are<br />
in Peabody, a Toys R Us on<br />
Andover Street across from<br />
the Northshore Mall, and<br />
a Babies R Us on Andover<br />
Street in the Burlington Coat<br />
Factory plaza.<br />
The only glimmer of hope<br />
for the company is a Toys R Us<br />
plan to try to bundle its Canadian<br />
business with about 200<br />
of its high performing U.S.<br />
stores and find a buyer.<br />
“I am very disappointed<br />
with the result, but we no<br />
longer have the financial<br />
support to continue the Company’s<br />
U.S. operations,” said<br />
Dave Brandon, Chairman<br />
and Chief Executive Officer.<br />
“We are therefore implementing<br />
an orderly process<br />
to shutter our U.S. operations<br />
and will pursue going concern<br />
sales or reorganizations<br />
of certain of our international<br />
businesses, while our other<br />
international businesses consider<br />
their options.”<br />
With the closing, customers<br />
now have fewer than 30<br />
Lynnfield Landscaping<br />
“Environmentally preferred”<br />
days to redeem any Toys R<br />
Us or Babies R Us gift certificates<br />
at the stores locations.<br />
While some local residents<br />
said Toys R Us could be overpriced<br />
and not well run, other<br />
said they will miss the experience<br />
of taking their children<br />
to an actual toy store<br />
instead of shopping online.<br />
“I’m sorry that future children<br />
won’t have the awe-inspiring<br />
experience of walking<br />
into a huge toy store,” said Linda<br />
Venturi Durkin. “Yes, expensive,<br />
but sometimes it’s worth it<br />
to see their expressions. Can’t<br />
get that on Amazon.”<br />
Yvette Igou-Lane said she<br />
remembered her dad taking<br />
her to Toys R Us in the 1980s<br />
when it was still connected to<br />
the mall to buy Barbie dolls.<br />
Now, she said she likes to<br />
take her two young children<br />
to the store so they can see<br />
and touch the toys.<br />
“They always walked<br />
in wanting one thing and<br />
walked out with something<br />
else,” she said. “There is<br />
nothing like watching your<br />
children examine a toy and<br />
decide if they want it. TV<br />
and online cannot compete<br />
with that. Other stores carry<br />
limited supplies and choices.<br />
Toys R Us will be missed.”<br />
