Have you tried any of the new coffee places to get your caffeine fix?
When Cuppy's Coffee opened on Hwy. 47 in front of Kmart last summer, I was the first motorcyclist through their drive-through. OK, so I cheated. I had to park the bike and walk up to the window. No cupholder on the Shadow, and there won't be, either.
Last week I stopped in the new Java Planet on U.S. 14 late last week. Their treats looked delicious, and I'll have to return to sample them. It was late afternoon - didn't want to spoil my dinner, don't you know? I did notice a customer working with his laptop there. They have free internet access for customers.
I haven't been in the new Trax Depot yet - at the Woodstock train station. Will make that stop on Tuesday, perhaps while on the way to the courthouse for Judge McIntyre's decision in the case of Police Chief Lowen against the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.
Someone had told me that Bella's was not going to be open during the winter, but it looked like they were open today when I passed. I believe they have free internet access for customers, too.
Woodstock has two new restaurants about to open. Herbal Fare will be on Calhoun Street, between Jefferson and Dean Streets. And Gadzuk's will open in the street-level space under the Waverly Ballroom.
And don't forget the existing restaurants on the Square. The Public House and Pirro's are on Main Street, and La Petite Creperie is going strong in the old courthouse.
The owners of the courthouse are looking for a restaurateur to take over the space vacated by the Courthouse Grill. Hopefully, a new owner won't get stuck with a big bill for water/sewer service as a condition of getting his liquor license.
Any other new eateries in town?

A new proprietor of the Courthouse restaurant will only have to pay a hefty sewer and water bill if the previous one failed to pay theirs. Just like the last time. One thing that is almost guaranteed though is that they will have to pay for any renovations the owners of the building require. Unless they are smart enought to run away-quickly.
We do not go to Pirro's anymore. When they first started out they were great. I always got the Cedar Plank Salmon. But now they're way overpriced and have cut back on everything from the bread to the portions. We went to Around the Clock Saturday and got better bread than Pirro's now has; and the service at Pirro's was aweful. Sorry Mr.Pirro's Owner, but we have been back twice since our first disappointment and nothing changed. So it was not just a one bad experience. This last time we went with my mother, who was a big time Pirro's lover. She even agreed that Pirro's was very disapponting.
Try O'Brien's. We went there a month or so ago. It was pretty good.
