dining

A popular Cohoes restaurant announced in early November that it will soon be vacating the country club it calls home to relocate to a larger space in the new year. We now know where.

There is something enchanting about dining inside an igloo in the winter in the Adirondacks. Check out the amazing picturesque dining experience from two historic Capital Region hotels. It is a truly unique atmosphere to enjoy lunch or dinner.

There are many cities around the Capital Region that are lobbying to have permanent outdoor dining. This was a lucrative way for restaurants to get around the strict guidelines during the pandemic. Now many places want to continue to offer that option. Another village has the approval to continue.

A Clifton Park restaurant that closed last fall has completed its move to a new location in the Spa City.

Cheers! Bar and restaurant curfews will soon be no more in New York State. We can also say goodbye to those suggested 'dancing zones' at weddings, proms or other catered events.

Just as indoor dining has resumed in New York, the Governor has raised some concerns about it.

Opening up for Phase Three in the Capital Region includes indoor dining but the thirty plus restaurants at Crossgates Mall aren't allowed to open and they aren't happy about it. They feel they are being treated unfairly and are ready to re-open.

It is a familiar location, with a new name and twist.

Vermont is taking another step forward in reopening Monday.

We take for granted the basic items that have become our every day. The alarm clock buzzing in the morning to wake us up, the running water for our shower, the hot water heater to allow that water not to be freezing cold, the coffee pot brewing our caffeine, the engine that starts our cars, even the wheels that roll it to our destination.

Let me first say that I think it's awesome that there are a bunch of restaurants in the 518 that accept our furry friends to dine with us. Unfortunately, I can't participate because my dog, Freddie, isn't the kind of dog that would sit nicely at a restaurant. Although I did find a ton of restaurants that accept the well behaved kind.

The other day I asked my friends on Facebook for their opinion on romantic places to eat on Valentine's Day. As usual there were no shortage of suggestions and while there were more than 40 comments I tried to narrow the field down to 10. The suggestion I got the most was a home cooked meal right in your home and to tell you the truth I can't deny that is a great idea...
