PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The Ocean State's first-ever New York System restaurant will serve its last hot wiener later this month.

Baba’s Original New York System on Smith Street, which first opened in 1927, announced on social media Friday evening that it will be closing its doors for good on Oct. 31.

"It has been our greatest honor to share meals, memories and traditions with you," Baba's wrote. "This decision was not made lightly, but comes with immense appreciation for the unwavering support you have shown throughout the years."

This comes more than a year after the restaurant warned it was on the brink of closure, citing a sharp decline in customers and skyrocketing supply costs.
