End of an Era: Beloved Woodmere Restaurant Shuts Its Doors After 68 Years
Corky and Lenny's, an iconic restaurant in Northeast Ohio known for its corned beef and baked goods, has permanently closed its doors. The decision was made by Kenny Kurland, son of the late founder Sanford Kurland. The closure was not due to a lack of business, but rather the difficulty in maintaining a full staff after the pandemic. The restaurant had 80 employees before the pandemic and only 33 afterwards. Despite the challenges, the owners express gratitude for their loyal customers, some of whom traveled from as far as Erie, PA.
