After more than a year of temporarily shuttered buildings, virtual-only programming and uncertain futures due to the pandemic, villagers may see a few more “open” signs downtown over the coming weeks although some doors will remain closed for the time being.
“We’ve all sort of metabolized the weirdness that this virus has brought, [but] it feels like everybody’s ready for things to get back to normal,” said Christine Monroe-Beard, co-owner and operator of Ye Olde Trail Tavern and Peach’s Grill. The Tavern opened last week, and Peach’s opened this Monday, after being closed since the fall of last year. So robust was the Tavern’s business during its opening week that, after closing briefly in order to have insulation installed, the restaurant closed for an additional day in order to restock its kitchen.
