12 Upstate NY Recently Closed Restaurants I Have Loved

Over the last twenty five years or so, I have traveled tens of thousands of miles along the highways and backroads of Upstate New York researching and writing my ten regional travel books. Because I was on the road so long, I always was on the look out for a good place to eat. And there are many. It just dawned on my that some of these places that I so enjoyed a meal at are probably closed now. So I did some looking around. And I was right. Here are a dozen favorites of mine (I have eaten at all of them), that I only recently found out are closed. Some didn't survive the pandemic, others just closed having put in 50, 60, 70 and more years of service to their customers. I will miss stopping in at all of these places. Have you ever been to any of them?
