• The Vanderbilt Inn in Philmont reopens tonight, Monday, with a serious chef and a farm-to-table ethos;
• Chopsticks in Catskill, located near the relatively new Beer World, offers Chinese, Japanese, and most of all Thai food — each of them simple but solid. (It remains a mystery why Columbia County has no Thai restaurant, while Greene has two...)
• Wunderbar in Hudson has changed hands, though Imre is still around for a few weeks for the transition;

• MOD's new Hudson digs got their beer and wine license.
