February 7, 2017: Goodbye Omega Grill

Tuesday.  The big news that we heard today is that the Omega Grill, back home in Geneseo, New York, that we ate at just a month ago, has been seized by the State of New York for failure to pay sales tax.  So it is a good thing that we used those gift cards while we could!  The restaurant is completely gone.  That is going to disrupt things just a little bit whenever we are visiting home.  That remains one of the places that we eat at most frequently.  I will miss getting their veggie burger with swiss on rye, I got that the most.  And Dominica and I will both miss their clamboats.  That places was a landmark in Geneseo.  It will do much to bolster the other restaurants around town, at least.  And it was not a good location, so I rather doubt that something else will move into the space, it would not be worth it.  Denny’s and the Geneseo Family Restaurant will be the big winners here.  Moving diners from the “strip” to Main Street is not a bad thing, except that Main Street parking remains a disaster.
