Iconic New York Restaurant Shuts Down After 91 Years<\/a><\/h1>\n

Posted 4 days ago by Ben Turner<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

The restaurant, founded during the Great Depression by Dan and Rose Cecora, has been a family-run operation for its entire existence. The current owner, Joe Colella Jr., took the reins from his parents in 1983 and has decided that it\u2019s finally time to hang up his apron. At 67 years old, Colella believes it\u2019s the right moment to step back, even though the business remains as bustling as ever.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not getting any younger,\u201d Colella told The Post. \u201cWe\u2019re busy, we\u2019re good, we could continue for another 40 years, but it\u2019s time.\u201d His announcement was met with a wave of emotion from the local community, who have long considered Hollywood Restaurant a second home.<\/p>\n

Colella first shared the news of the restaurant\u2019s closure in an emotional Facebook post, expressing gratitude for the decades of support and the countless memories made within its walls. \u201cOur restaurant has been in business for over 90 years,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWe are at the end of a multi-generational journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The outpouring of love and nostalgia from the community was immediate and heartfelt. Residents of Auburn, located near the Finger Lakes, flooded the comments section with messages of appreciation and sorrow. One longtime patron shared, \u201cThis breaks my heart. I\u2019ve been going 33 years [with] my family. An amazing restaurant that filled those with food and love. So thankful to have been able to experience it as long as we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another local reminisced, \u201cA favorite childhood Christmas memory will always be the animated elves in the restaurant windows. It was so exciting to see them at Christmastime. Wish I could return to the simpler times. Thanks for serving Auburn for so many decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hollywood Restaurant\u2019s legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of Auburn. From hosting family celebrations to being a beloved spot for birthdays and anniversaries, it has been more than just a place to eat; it has been a gathering place for the community. The original 1933 liquor license, a relic from the year Prohibition ended, still hangs on the wall, a testament to the restaurant\u2019s rich history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They\u2019re saying arrivederci to a cherished institution. After an impressive 91-year run, the iconic Hollywood Restaurant in Auburn, New York, is closing its doors. This beloved Italian-American eatery has been a cornerstone of the community, serving generations of families since it first opened in 1933.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
