✅This week's recommendation
🍕🍝Many who grew up in Endicott will remember Consol's Family Kitchen with fond memories. Fortunately, you can still get great Italian dinner in the house on the corner of Oak Hill Ave. and Watson Blvd. in Endicott's Little Italy that's as good as ever at Concordia, which in the space opened last year.
If you haven't been yet, the renovated decor is a treat and the food is as good as you could ask for - plus it takes effort to continue some of the old Consol's recipes!
Let me know ways I can improve this newsletter!
