Host Utica offers date night with onsite babysitting

In downtown Utica, Michael Ivkov, owner of Host Utica, offers a unique dining experience by providing a babysitting room above his restaurant, allowing parents to enjoy a date night without the hassle of finding a sitter. For a minimal fee, children are cared for while parents dine downstairs.
