Shucks! Iconic Central New York Seafood Restaurant Closes After 58 Years
Shucks! Another Central New York restaurant is closing its doors after several decades. This time it's an iconic seafood place in Syracuse.
The Clam Bar opened on Brewerton Road in 1965. New owners took over in the 70s and ran the restaurant until 2012. That's when Ed and Christa Nyce bought the place that had been voted the Table Hopping's "Best Seafood" award winners several times throughout the years.

Clam Bar Closes
58 years later, the doors to The Clam Bar closed for the final time. The Nyce's were forced to make the truly heartbreaking decision to shut down.
Ed and I waited till the last minute in hopes of a miracle. This is, by no means, the outcome we wanted. We worked so hard to keep the restaurant open, but it is just not possible any longer.
