Mother Kelly’s restaurant Closed its Cedarhurst location after 45 years. One of the owners, Mark Gobetz, kneaded the dough for a restaurant specialty: creamed spinach pizza.

Mother Kelly’s closes in Cedarhurst
After 45 years of serving patrons at its Cedarhurst location, on Chestnut Avenue opposite the train station, the Gobetz family closed down Mother Kelly’s, an Italian restaurant. By the end of September, only the Mother Kelly’s in Syosset remains in operation.
Sidewalk sale kept village humming
More than 80 stores took part in the four-day, 26th annual Cedarhurst Business Improvement District summer sidewalk sale last week, which attracted crowds to the village’s shopping area.
The sale expanded to Sunday for the second year in a row, to accommodate weekday workers. The event grew out of the experience of local merchant Jerry Cohen, owner of Trees, a women’s accessories store, who had seen a similar sidewalk sale upstate. Cohen pitched the idea of starting one in Cedarhurst to a few other local merchants about 30 years ago.
