Welcome to our list of favorite dining destinations in New York's Hudson Valley and Adirondack regions. We visit restaurants, wineries, barbecues, and a smattering of off the beaten path culinary destinations like maple sugar shacks and fromageries. My friends and I have been dining out together weekly for over twenty years. The locations we write about are our favorite destinations. We are not claiming they are the best, just our favorites. The posts are not "reviews" in the classic sense. - we offer only our picks, not pans. We will leave the criticism to others. We are a happy blog. We much prefer a good bistro to "haute cuisine", especially if they also have a nice bar. We prefer a crock of cassoulet and a bottle of Beaujolais to just about anything else. If you enjoy simple home style rustic cooking with a decent (but not too expensive) bottle of wine, then pull up a chair and join us.

Hudson Valley Dining Guide

We now have a new "mobile" version of Rambler.  To help our new "mobile" readers, here is a list of our favorite Hudson Valley Restaurants as of June 2011.  All are links to posts listing restaurant phone numbers, websites, and commentary. I am in no way suggesting that these are the best restaurants in the Hudson Valley.  They are "our favorites" and hopefully you agree that they are among the best.
Why would "our favorites" not be "the best"?  Read about that here.
