Say it ain't so but unfortunately, it seems that it's true. We have lost another great place to enjoy food and a drink in the Hudson Valley. Over the past two years, so many of our favorite places to gather and grab a bite to eat or even an after-work drink with a friend have closed.

Some of our Hudson Valley restaurants chose to because of early retirement, others due to financial strains from COVID, and then there were a few who just couldn't find any staff to work after the pandemic. I am not sure what caused the closure announcement from this latest restaurant but unfortunately, I think customers knew that it was coming.

Elsie's had delicious food. You could be served at the bar or in the dining room. Even though it was a small place Elsie's was the kind of place you could go to catch up with friends and not feel like everyone was listening or needed your table. It was a great place to meet a friend and unburden the day. Hopefully, something just as magical will open in its place.
