As If Bumpas Emporium Wasn't Bad Enough...

It is with great sadness that I learned Saywell's Drugstore in downtown Hudson is closing.

Saywell's was one of the few remaining authentic soda fountains still in operation. It was founded in 1909 and has been a Hudson landmark for longer than their signature clock tower. Frommer's states:

Saywell's makes its own chocolate syrup for its popular chocolate sodas, and turns out an egg cream even a native New Yorker would love.
