The latest restaurant to decide to take a pause from dine-in service as winter drags on and the rollout of the coronavirus vaccines proceeds more slowly than projected is The Olde Bryan Inn in Saratoga Springs. It
announcedMonday (1/18) that it will continue takeout/delivery on a Tuesday-through-Sunday schedule, but the dining room will be closed “for the remainder of the month of January.”
In Albany, New World Bistro Bar, which closed its dining room in early November, had remained open for takeout/delivery and market fare through the holidays. As of this week (1/18), however, New World is now fully closed for more than a month. Owner Annette Nanes tells me she hopes to reopen in early March.

When credibility matters

SARATOGA SPRINGS– Matthew McCabe, owner of Saratoga Guitar, local musician and former city commissioner died earlier this week at 63 after suffering from complications with the coronavirus.
“The music community in Saratoga is small . . . and he was certainly one of the key players,” said Sarah Craig, the executive director of Caffe Lena. “He opened his shop on Caroline Street right around the time I moved to Saratoga and so I have always thought of him as one of the anchors of downtown. If you were involved in music in any way in Saratoga, you knew and worked with Matt and thought of him as a colleague.”
