Mountain Valley in Winooski is one of the many locations struggling to get by as construction in the city continues.

Winooski's roads are undergoing some much-needed repair, but the construction is slowing down traffic to area restaurants. Seven Days food writer Melissa Pasanen tells us how the restaurants are coping with declining patronage. She also fills us in on exciting dining options popping up around the state, and to tell us about the 100-year-old activist baker in Marshfield.

Here are some of the places she mentioned:

Vermont Curry and Cocktails is a fusion restaurant in Winooski

Wicked Wings serves wings and specialty drinks in Winooski

Pho Dang serves Vietnamese food in Winooski

Sagarmathha Grocery is a specialty grocer in Winooski

Myer's Bagels is now serving pizza in Burlington

Original Skiff is a seafood restaurant in Burlington

Broadcast live on Thursday, August 29th, 2024, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
