China Wok closed for renovation

The doors of China Wok on Broadway have been papered over for about a week, and a sign there says the take-out eatery is closed for renovations until Oct. 1.

A notice from the city's Design Review Commission also hanging on the doors shows that the DRC approved new doors for the restaurant. It looks like restaurant owners received permission this month to install a one-door aluminum entrance to replace the current two-door storefront.

On a recent venture in there for a pint of curry chicken, I noticed they'd repainted the walls and generally spruced up the look of the whole place.

Check back for an update next month.

Sorelle Gallery leaves Shoe Depot

Sorelle Gallery, owned by Sandra Pelletier, has jumped locations downtown a couple times in its short life, opening first in the Chindamo Building on Phila Street in 2009 and then moving to a bigger space as a tenant in the Shoe Depot on Broadway last winter.

Now the fine art gallery is moving once again -- and possibly outside the Spa City. 

Owner Pelletier said Friday she's looking for a new location in the Stuyvesant Plaza strip mall in Albany. At the same time, she's hoping to set up another shop somewhere on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, customers can contact her at 584-0600 or http://www.sorellegallery.com.
