Being from NJ, I'm super picky about Italian foods (bc we have the best obviously). The Angry Chef has the BEST vodka sauce I've ever had, I swear.

Red House
Literally the BEST Mexican I've ever had

Other Food & Drinks
The Hudson Valley has a ton of wineries, vineyards, breweries, and cideries!
A cute cafe with tons of beer on tap, but they do actually have an amazing coffee menu! They do take-out, if you're looking for something to grab and go.
Underground Coffee and Ales
Best views
Quartz Rock Vineyard and Cider House
You do have to pay an entry fee for the winery since they charge for access to the orchard, but so worth it! They have a pretty good snack bar as well.
Weed Orchards & Winery
A historical house, refurbished as a restaurant and distillery. Really pretty views!
The Hudson House & Distillery
A hidden gem!
Kettleborough Cider House
A quaint, locally owned brewery! Cute outdoor seating
