The Station in Lee Fuses New Flavors With Iconic Restaurant

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

The former train station has been renovated since November and has a similar atmosphere to when it was Sullivan Station for more than three decades.
LEE, Mass. — The proprietors of the popular Charlie's Bistro Bus food truck have opened a new restaurant in the old train station.
 
Appropriately called "The Station," Anandkumar Singh and Kevin Orozco, and a third partner, Sonu Rahman, opened the gastropub in late February. 
 
Singh said he wants people to feel like family at The Station while they're served good food with the best ingredients and best service.
 
"The whole goal is about holding the community together with food connections," he said. 
 
The fusion menu offers a range of global dishes along with American favorites for lunch, dinner and "last call." 
 
The partners want offer fare that they didn't see much of in the Berkshires, a concept that had fueled their food truck's menu.
 
"I feel like that's what transitioned all the way over to The Station," Orozco said. "We're making this food, this is what we want to see everywhere — we really don't see it."
