Short answer: yes, we’ve been there 5 or 6 times.
Long(er) answer: we live 10 minutes away, know the owners (Red Hook Winery), some of the staff (ex-Noodle Pudding) and the location (happy memories of Lillie’s, many years ago). So, of course we’ve been there. HOWEVER: other than the fact that the owner grew up near the original Lundy’s and happened to know the guy who had the rights to the name, there’s very little overlap. Yes, there is a picture of the original hanging in the bar area, and there is a “Shore Dinner” & yes, the chowder is very much the same (& every bit as good), but this is not a re-creation of the original Lundy’s. For us, its a nice place to eat but don’t go looking for Lundy’s.
(I can do a “long” answer as well, but no one wants that 
)
And, apropos of just about nothing: if you live in Brooklyn and haven’t been to Sheepshead Bay, Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach & Coney Island, you need to make plans to do so. And, I’d recommend each on its own, separately. As an enticement, maybe Dave Cook can weigh in on the beer bar we went to afterwards (dozens of East European beers, homemade kvass & even mead). Only 3 blocks from Randazzo’s.
Also MMA on the teevee.
mustn’t there be more photos?
I ate at randazzos a long time ago in a galaxy far far away and didn’t see any reason to go back. But this coming from someone who 4 years earlier was clamming on the great south bay where clam shacks still dotted the shore and Italian restaurants had access to fresh seafood caught and served the same day.
Now, 45 years removed from that experience, I suspect I’d love Randazzos. Unfortunately, it’s a hike from the UES and not sure it, or any restaurant, is worth the 3 hour or so round trip.
best,
There must, but not by me. Let’s see if we can get @DaveCook to share his.
Tap Beer New York (1781 Sheepshead Bay Rd., just north of Emmons Ave.) keeps about three dozen choices on draft, mostly by well-known European brewers. Their house beers are fine; it’s the mead and the kvass, both with negligible alcohol, that first attracted me. The staff are liberal with advice and samples. When you do make a choice, it’s served in a brown, capped plastic bottle, by the liter or half-liter; you help yourself to a chilled mug (or mugs, if you’re sharing) from a freezer case in the dining area.
The food is fine for a sports bar. The sports are fine if you like boxing, hockey, maybe basketball; I wouldn’t come here to watch golf.
My photos can’t add much to @small_h’s. I don’t have a good one of Doug’s fried oyster sandwich or Steve’s lobster bisque. But I did catch Steve’s softshell crab sandwich before he tore off one claw for himself and the other for me. He didn’t eat the bun, but since I ordered that big bowl of mussels in red sauce, I made good use of it.
SmallH and Dave Cook’s photos are very good. All I can contribute for Randazzo’s is my not very good photo of my good oyster sandwich.
While the oyster sandwich was good, it was maybe the least of the feast we had. Like SmallH, I thought the raw clams were the best I’ve ever had; unlike SmallH I didn’t notice any salt deficiency in the delicious linguine with oil – taste buds really differ with respect to salt levels – and there was, for once, enough garlic for my taste. The zucchini fries, the steamed clams, the mussels – all tremendous.
Scungili, which I would have guessed is a pasta, I now know is either conch or whelk (there were conflicting and equally confident opinions on this); it also was very good, although I suspect you have to grow up with that protein to fully appreciate it.
Really good meal, outstanding.
And liquid dessert at Tap Beer New York was a lot of fun, as was the guided food tour of Brighton Beach that Dave conducted for Toni and me. Kvass was a little sweet, so it might be one and done for me. I didn’t have the courage to try the mead because I was afraid it would taste like Ethiopian honey wine (tej), which I find undrinkable.
Toni, Dave, and I ended at the newly opened Toshkent Hot Dogs and Uzbek Food, where Dave planned to cap off his day’s meal with a hot dog. However, Dave changed his mind once he saw the size of those monsters – and the canned corn kernels they are topped with. (I’ll post about the earlier visit by Toni and me to Toshkent Hot Dogs later.)
Fun day, good conversation, and good eating.
My dessert, at the new Dmitriev’s Bistro, 1212 Ave. Z, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
In Russian, “kartoshka” can mean “potato,” but it might also be a no-bake confection shaped like one. Cookie crumbs, butter, condensed milk, and cocoa powder are common ingredients; mine had crushed walnuts, too. Also shown: the display case, from which — in the absence of other intel — I chose the item that seemed to be most in demand.
One of my friends suggested chef huang in kips bay, a longish walk from the ues. We started with lamb skewers, served on a cute, little charcoal grill. The meat was well seasoned, soft and delicious. I might’ve cooked them a touch longer, but the fat hitting the coals sent a dramatic little plume of smoke toward the next table 
For mains, we had a perfectly fresh, perfectly fried, perfectly spiced sea bass and their house specialty, Peking duck, which my friend declared best in nyc.
Not sure the duck is the best in nyc, not sure it’s not but it’s very good, maybe > wus and <= hwa yuan.
Lots to try on the menu, will definitely be back.
Best,
