ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – A longtime West End eatery is closing in Ithaca.

After more than 50 years of business, Kelly’s Dockside Café will shutter its doors next month.

The ownership team of the Taughannock Boulevard staple is selling the restaurant’s inventory and fixtures and asks anyone interested to “stop in and make an offer.”

The café recently hosted one of longtime WQNY/Q-Country host Chris Allinger’s last live radio shows.

Kelly’s final day of business will be Sunday, November 2.
