As we wrote about earlier this month, the beautiful and forlorn town of Coxsackie has hit upon hard times, marred as it is by it’s name, the prison (albeit one that provides most of its jobs), and its connection to a very unpleasant virus. It’s yearning for new businesses, so local folks are pleased that a new restaurant will soon be opening its doors near town (after jumping a few more logistical hurdles, that is).

It’ll take up residence adjacent to a Dunkin’ Donuts and next to a Dollar Tree. Not exactly the revival of downtown that Upstaters are hoping for, but, heck, it’s a start.
