Alexandra Zissu in the Times Union talks with Ben Fain, the developer with businesses around Hudson's Amtrak station. That is the third-busiest station in New York, with approximately 220,000 people arriving or departing. Fain said, “Every 45 minutes, it’s like a faucet of people coming off the train.” Fain opened Kitty’s Market Cafe in the fall of 2020, with breakfast and lunch and expanded into the adjoining space as Kitty’s Restaurant last spring. In October, the restaurant will open for dinner five nights a week. He also owns the nearby Grapefruit Wines, and now he is opening The Caboose, a 3,500-square-foot carbon-neutral private event space in a 19th-century coal barn. That space had a ribbon-cutting on Sept. 12 with Gov. Kathy Hochul, state Sen. Michelle Hinchey, Assemblyperson Didi Barrett, and Hudson Mayor Kamal Johnson in attendance. Grapefruit Wines will soon move into The Caboose space, next to Kitty's. The Caboose opens Oct. 3. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
