There is a historic grain and feed mill that was built in the 1800s and was recently a restaurant that sits in the hamlet of Elnora near Clifton Park. Owners of a popular Schenectady restaurant have bought the buildings and they are turning it into their second location.
Schenectady has been getting a resurgence in the past few years. Another business and restaurant have been announced in the Mill Lane Artisan District.
It seems as if more and more restaurants are experiencing a resurgence after the pandemic. There is one restaurant and bar in Halfmoon that has been around for more than three decades and is entering into a new era.
It's nice to see that some of the larger vacant buildings are being repurposed instead of just laying empty and dormant. There is a no bigger eyesore in the Watervliet/Latham area than the old Kmart building at 195 Troy Schenectady Road.
If you have ever been to the Saratoga Lake Country Club and eaten at The Hideaway, you know that the restaurant is a hidden gem in Saratoga County. Well, there is good news.

With a new restaurant opening in Halfmoon, a neighborhood bar has closed its doors after 90 years. Joe's Tavern, which has been a staple at 16 Division Street in Cohoes for nearly nine decades just shut down. There is hope that someone will buy it and reopen but since February 18th, it is closed.
If you travel through Clifton Park you know that you can't go just a few yards without your choice of chain restaurants. Although there is nothing wrong with them, a local husband and wife are building a new tavern restaurant that they are hoping changes that feel. They want their new eatery to be part of the community with a hometown feel.
If you've ever been to the Panera Bread on Maxwell Drive in Clifton Park, you know it is always busy. Finally, they are doing something about it. They are building a new Panera Bread to accommodate the larger crowds by building a smaller location.
A new restaurant has moved into the old Pearl Street Pub in downtown Albany. It's called the Skinny Pancake and it specializes in all different varieties of crepes.

It is the end of an era at a Saratoga County restaurant. It has been in my hometown for nearly 60 years and suddenly on December 29th, a post on the door and a Facebook message made it official.
There have been so many sad endings to some great restaurants across the Capital Region because of the pandemic. Many had to keep their doors closed because of staffing or just because of how the pandemic took a toll on their business. For one Troy restaurant, it was the employees who rallied together to make sure Plumb Oyster Bar would reopen.
It's sad when a local restaurant decides to close its doors after being a staple in the community for so long. Glenville will be losing Oliver's Cafe which has been open for nearly three decades. The announcement was made this week on their Facebook page.

There are some things about Schenectady that everyone can agree with and one of them is that we have the best Italian food in the Capital Region. One of the people who can be thanked for that, passed away yesterday.
