"A tiny wine bar in Uptown that cooks food over an open fire, this is the quintessential cozy restaurant in Kingston. You can’t go wrong with the eggplant, lamb, and rhubarb agrodolce and the barbecue carrots, but hear out the specials before you make a decision—early September brought a tomato pie with cornmeal crust, while spring saw a soft shell crab land on the menu. For dessert, go for the sourdough sundae with miso caramel and cocoa crispies." - Elise Taylor
"Chleo is a gorgeous wine bar in Kingston’s Stockade district near some buildings from the 1600s. But inside, everything is decidedly modern, from blocky wooden architecture to little plates of shaved snap peas. They have a good amount of $60-and-under bottles, including a liter chilled red from France and a couple of orange wines from Catalonia. Stop by for snacks and drinks, but leave room for desserts like lemon semifreddo topped with plump blueberries and torn pieces of pineapple sage." - anne cruz
"Owners Hope and Charles Mathews closed their small Kingston restaurant for a week to install an HVAC upgrade after their previous system funneled outside makeup air into a kitchen with wood-fired grills that can reach about 1,000°F, which offered little relief on hot days. They considered a year-round replacement that was estimated at over $60,000 but instead invested in more affordable split units to cool the hottest spaces, a costly decision that raises anxiety about higher utility bills (already over $2,000 a month) and illustrates the financial trade-offs small operators face when prioritizing worker and customer safety during heat waves." - Amy McCarthy
