DS Cafe Opens in Northfield
There’s a new place to eat at 15 North Street in Northfield. Located where the former China Star used to be, you will find DS Cafe, which touts itself to be the “Best Indian Restaurant in Northfield.” It is also the only Indian restaurant in Northfield. Serving Nepali-Asian food, according to the website
dscafevt.com, the restaurant opened on March 3. “It all started in the beautiful valley of the Himalayas,” and the food is authentic Himalayan food. Menu items include lamb korma, chicken biryani, spicy chicken tikka, and more. They also have “American” items such as chicken nuggets and chicken salad. And an unusual listing of various gyros is on the list to boot, such as a salmon gyro, a fried fish gyro, and a steak tip gyro.
Guitar Sam Closing
You know if you drive through downtown Montpelier that Guitar Sam is closing its doors after 42 years in business. A retirement sale is currently underway, and no more repairs are being offered. The store opened as “Play it Again Sam” in 1981 by Kevin Crossett, according to
guitarsam.com. They moved across Main Street to a larger spot a few years later. The store then moved around a few times, but has been in its present location since 2009. In addition to providing instruments, sheet music, and guitar strings, the company supported many community fundraisers over the years.
