The Sargassi's is a seafood restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Sedgewick Hotel[1]. Founded by Pappy Sargassi in 1950.
History[]
Primary Canon[]
As noted in Tobin's Spirit Guide, In 1950 he opened a restaurant, Sargassi's, and attempted to turn his back on the sea. It appears that after his death by choking on a fish stick while being eaten by a great white shark, the Sedgewick Hotel kept the restaurant on the 3rd floor.

Insight Editions[]
In the late 1970s, Sargassi's ghost began manifesting at various branches in New York, including Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Times Square outlets. He eventually made a permanent home of the dining room at the branch located in the Sedgewick Hotel lobby. [2] Sargassi wasn't a threat to people but he was chased and devoured by a Class 4 spectral shark. The Ghostbusters were called in. They trapped the shark then Sargassi dispersed and ceased to manifest again. [3] [4]
