Doubleday Diner Opening In Ballston Spa In Old Route 50 Diner

If you follow me on the radio or read my stories here on our website, you know I love talking about and writing about food. I ESPECIALLY love a great greasy spoon. I am talking about the local spots that offer great, down-home food, especially in the breakfast arena. Saratoga County has a cluster of great breakfast spots, and one that was once voted among the best in the county is about to come back to life with a twist.

After being a big local favorite over the years, the Route 50 Diner in Ballston Spa closed for good earlier this year. For those who loved eating there, it's some exciting news to pass along.
