(3919)

Shadows on the Hudson is an award winning waterfront restaurant located in Poughkeepsie, NY. Our building is perched on a cliff 40 feet above the Hudson River and just 50 feet from its eastern bank. This prime location affords us one-of-a-kind, truly grand views of the Mid-Hudson Bridge to the north and miles of open river to the south. The interior design of the restaurant sets Shadows apart from

any other establishment in the area. Guests have five different dining areas to choose from. If you choose the casual and warm Sunset Room or the ultramodern Winter Room you will feel like you are dining in Manhattan or Vegas, while the Sunrise Deck and True River Rooms provide commanding views of the Hudson River. Shadows menu has a broad appeal with a focus on Seafood and Steaks. The goal of the menu was to create a place where families could afford to eat more than once a week and that would still appeal to couples out for a special night on the town. Shadows will also cater your small lunch or dinner party for groups of 20 – 100. Shadows incredible menus offer a broad selection of choices that will appeal to everyone’s taste... and that includes our cocktail menu! We also offer special menus for brunch and happy hour and our catering menus are imaginative and affordable.

Sunday brunch is a competitive sport around here.

You wake up hungry, somebody says “let’s go somewhere cute,” and suddenly you’re 47 minutes deep into Google wondering if pancakes are worth crossing a cThese are 10 brunch spots worth the drive North of NYC — from Catskills classics and waterfall views to French café plates, ridiculous breakfast sandwiches, farm brunches and the kind of buffet where your first plate will absolutely expose your lack of strategy.

On the list:

Phoenicia Diner Phoenicia Diner 🌲Catskills NY
Cornerstone at the Mill Cornerstone Restaurant
Oui Oui Oui Oui HV
Shadows on the Hudson Shadows On The Hudson
The Roundhouse The Roundhouse
Blooming Hill Farm Blooming Hill Farm
Beacon Daily THE BEACON DAILY
Pamela’s on the Hudson Pamela's On The Hudson
Bread Alone Greg Ansermino
Miss Lucy’s Kitchen Miss Lucy's Kitchen

And yes, I have opinions about what you should order because showing you a beautiful restaurant and then leaving you alone with a six-page brunch menu would be rude.

Save this for your next Sunday.Better yet, send it to the person who always says “I don’t care, you pick” and then rejects your first four suggestions.
