BurgerFi’s Second Location
BurgerFi recently opened in Latham this past August. However, a Saratoga Springs location is also expected to open in early 2016. The franchise was brought to the area by the owners of Lia Auto Group and Capital Region restaurant mogul, Angelo Mazzone. The menu features angus beef burgers, hot dogs, gourmet hand-cut fries, custard, craft beer and wine.
Saratoga-Themed Restaurant
A Spa City native brought his love of his hometown to Boston this summer. Owner, Dylan Welsh, opened Worden Hall, a Saratoga-themed modern American restaurant during Travers weekend. The restaurant name comes from the historic Saratoga Springs Worden Hall, a guest house from the 19th century that was located on the corner of Broadway and Division Street. Welsh told the Saratogian, “Celebrities, jockeys, trainers — everyone used to love going there.”
Welsh got a plethora of history and information from 95-year-old Saratoga resident, Minnie Bolster. As a gift, Bolster gave Welsh an original coaster from the Worden Hotel, which is now inlaid on the corner of the bar. Additional décor includes a large mural of the Saratoga Race Course, as well as other images of Saratoga Springs. If you’re ever in Beantown and missing Saratoga, give Worden Hall a try!
Post Time Deli and Catering Welcomes New Owners
Always popular and loved by many, the Post Time Deli and Catering is now under new ownership. Husband and wife, Bernard and Suzanne Pratt, along with their son, Thomas MacDonald, took over ownership back in May. The Pratts are long time fans of the establishment and are looking forward to working hard. In addition to their famous breakfast sandwiches, Post Time also offers catering for a wide variety of occasions.
