NYUP highlighted Kingston in an article that featured "6 small Upstate New York towns with big restaurant scenes."

"The state’s first capital (1777) is located roughly 60 miles south of Albany and 90 miles north of New York City, a good location to blend cosmopolitan culinary sensibilities with a more relaxed vibe in a place of barely 23,000 souls," William M. Dowd writes about Kingston in the article.

Kingston being called "small" is certainly up for debate, but its "big" restaurant scene is not.
