Hotel Renovates Dining Area to Make Room for Banquets
By Liam M.
The Hancock House Hotel is a favorite for The Family Foundation School students when they go out to eat or hang out for the night with their parents.
2010 promises some new opportunities for breakfast and lunch.
Fannie’s Cafe will be combined with the current dining room to make one large space. It will be a banquet room for wedding and other types of receptions, with the help of Binghamton designer Laurie Chambers. Hotel owner Lynn Bass says that the new hall will be able to comfortably hold up to 150 people.
Breakfast and lunch will still be served in the new room, though there will no longer be a counter. All the renovations are expected to be finished by mid to late spring.
Ralph Smith’s construction crew is working with some members of Bass’ construction crew to get everything done in time.
In the meantime, chefs are being interviewed for the position of head chef, to give the Hancock House a new flavor to go with the new look for 2010.
