Here’s sad news

Greenwich Time reports that Silvermine Tavern is closing. Over the many years I’ve visited there the quality of the food varied considerably with the chef of the time, but it was always a beautiful setting and when I was much younger and susceptible to late Saturday nights, the perfect place for an early-afternoon Sunday brunch. I haven’t been up there in a long time but my mother Leatrice always found it to be a nice spot to take out-of-town guests for lunch and I know her guests, at least, will be disappointed when they discover that her new preferred venue is McDonalds. Too bad.
