There's very little joy in announcing yet another popular Hudson Valley eatery's closing.

The only silver lining in the latest restaurant closing announcement is the hint that something new and exciting is ahead.

The announcement comes on the heels of a string of small business restaurant closures around the Hudson Valley including favorites like The Vault in Beacon and Santa Fe Burgers in Rosendale.

On Monday, October 28th, another popular eatery in the Catskill area took to Facebook to share the news that they would be closing their doors.

Thankfully, the restaurant has given the public a few week's notice before their final service.
