Popular Restaurant to Close After 20 Years

It hasn't been the best few months for restaurants on Wolf Road in Colonie. First, the Ninety-Nine Restaurant closed, followed by Buca di Beppo. Over the weekend, the owners of a popular bistro and bakery in the same area announced in a heartfelt post that they'd be closing their doors for good near the end of August.

Over the weekend, we saw a Facebook Post by the owners of Hong Kong Bakery and Bistro, located at 8 Wolf Road in Colonie.  The popular Chinese restaurant and bakery opened in 2003 on Troy-Schenectady Road in Latham but moved to Wolf Road in July 2013.
