I was attending a wedding in Woodstock, NY and staying in Germantown up in the Hudson Valley. The wedding was a lot of fun and being a tourist in the area was just as lovely. The natural beauty of the Hudson Valley earned the Hudson River the nickname America's Rhine, being compared to that of the famous 40-mile stretch of Germany's Rhine River valley between the cities of Bingen and Koblenz.
One of the most beautiful aspects of the area, are it's various farms (besides the beautful old mansions), which produce vegetables, duck, chicken etc for the rapidly growing gourmand market in the New York City area. One of the first places that I visited was this quaint little diner in the middle of Route 9W and Redhook, NY, one of the 4 oldest diners in America. The diner is the size of a train carriage, length and width and unlike fare associated with diners frequented in the city, the food here is quite extraordinary. Fresh ingredients from the valley and decent pricing make this a wonderful choice as a food destination.
Recommend items: Biscuits with Sausage and Buttermilk or Eggs Sunnyside up with Rye Toast lathered in butter....yummy.
location: Route 9, middle of Redhook
Upstate NY.
