Ithaca microbrewry in the works

ITHACA, NY -- The owners of Madeline's on The Commons plan to open a second restaurant at the spot currently occupied by the Lost Dog.

And, those involved say, some of the Lost Dog's owners and employees plan to move up Cayuga Street to start a brew pub, something that sounds pretty good in a small Finger Lakes town dominated by thousands of Cornell University and Ithaca College students.

Teresa and Scott Miller have announced plans to open by September a restaurant called Wildfire: An American Bistro, at 106 South Cayuga Street which now is occupied by the Lost Dog.

The space became available when some of the Lost Dog's owners decided to concentrate on the original Binghamton Lost Dog (above), and others plan to create the Bandwagon Microbrewery.

The original was founded in an old garage at 60 Main Street in 1994, before moving to larger downtown quarters at 222 Water Street.
