25 Lost Restaurants Upstate New Yorkers Wish Were Still Open

Rochester families celebrated milestones in elaborate restaurants or stopped for burgers at local drive-ins. Syracuse had old-school Italian dining rooms and family restaurants where a special meal became a tradition. In Albany, generations of customers returned to fish-fry counters, diners, and restaurants where state politics and everyday life frequently crossed paths. The Southern Tier had its own familiar landmarks.

What Happened to Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips?

For generations of New Yorkers who grew up across Long Island, New York City, the Hudson Valley, and Upstate communities during the 1970s and 1980s, Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips was an iconic roadside staple. Its distinctive English-style buildings and signs, along with paper boxes of fried fish, thick-cut chips, hush puppies, and malt vinegar, made the chain a familiar alternative to hamburgers and fried chicken.

New York State Liquor Authority Announces Expanded Opportunities For Alcohol Manufacturers To Support Charitable Causes

The New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) today announced a new policy allowing alcoholic beverage brand labels to identify and promote charitable organizations. Under updated SLA policy, labels may state that a specified amount or portion of sales or proceeds from a particular product will be donated to a named charitable organization. The change updates a longstanding policy that effectively prohibited charitable references on brand labels, limiting the ability of businesses to use their products to raise awareness and financial support for important causes. This policy change is part of Governor Kathy Hochul’s EXPRESS NY Initiative, which is focused on eliminating outdated policies, reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens and improving the delivery of government services.
