Yet another collegetown bar bites the dust

[Trotsky]

I meant the demise of the 24-hour diner, not Manos specifically. Cigarettes keep you awake, you know.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Remembering the atmosphere of Manos, part of me thinks that the anti-smoking regulations had something to do with all this. Sure, great societal benefit that I generally support, but you lose some things in the process.

No. Manos closed in 2014, 13 years after the smoking ban. Bill Manos was 76, tired after 52 years, and got a sweet payday when freaking Marriott decided it wanted his location. It's as simple as that.

Not a bar, or even a restaurant, but an iconic food establishment:  Ithaca Voice reports that the Cornell Orchards retail store is closing after almost 70 years of operation.

OH no. when I was a grad student, my lab was in BTI - across the street from the orchard. They had apples for sale through February.  I used to go every friday or saturday to get apples for my weekend baking adventures. I still have recipes and "know your apples" cheat sheets from the 90's.

As I go to the local supermarket in SWFL to get apples for my "football sunday apple pie" (yup - some habits do not die) I remember the Cornell Orchards.  I hate change.

Where else could one fill the belly with delicious FREE samples? :-(

Wegmans.

Siddharth and I invented a weekly Wegmans event called "tasting Saturday".

I think Bjs is the best place for free samples

Collegetown Bagels will move across the street to the Cornell-owned Sheldon Court where they get a 10-year lease.  Ruloff's is still up in the air.  The nominal end date for both Collegetown Bagels in their current location and for Rulloff's is June 1.  The owners are in discussion with their landlord, Student Agencies, for a one week extension to allow big parties with alumni in town for reunions.

More details on the new CTB space Mark Anbinder in 14850.com.  It sounds like a nice step up for them.

I had no idea that was the original space for Triangle Books.

The article said the new location would have outdoor space.  The original location on College Ave. didn't.

I worked in the original location. the second location did though. I didn't catch the mention of outdoor space in Sheldon Court, so thanks for that.
