Saratoga restaurant opens outdoor SolarFi pods for warm winter dining

SARATOGA SPRINGS – As winter takes hold here in Upstate New York, businesses are finding creative ways to keep customers cozy in the great outdoors.

Prime at Saratoga National recently opened The Village at Prime – an outdoor dining experience featuring seven solar-powered, heated pods on the Prime patio.

The SolarFi pods include medical grade HEPA air filters, are 100% UV resistant and made from recycled materials.

Prime says this is a great way to still dine out while practicing social distancing.

Heather O’Neil, general manager of Prime at Saratoga National, said, "People are looking for special dining experiences even during the pandemic. The Village at Prime is a way to enjoy a special night out while staying safe."

The Village at Prime will be open during the restaurant’s regular lunch and dinner hours, which are currently Wednesday through Saturday.
