Notes On Napkins: Kingston NY Region

07/08/2024

I recently made my 10,000th post on my NOTES ON NAPKINS blog covering restaurant and food news in the Greater Capital Region.

A subsequent mechanical blip created an unanticipated break in my posting schedule. And, as it turned out, it also gave me an opportunity to review my efforts.

As it turned out, I have decided that the break will become a permanent halt to the work. In other words. I have decided to retire from creating NOTES ON NAPKINS after decades of writing it.

So, thank you for your many years of reading, commenting, etc. and best wishes to all of you.

NOTE TO READERS

For some unfathomable reason, the content guardians at Facebook decided that my post about a food truck event in Ulster County violated their standards. So, they killed it.
