On this page you will find places that we have found in our area that might take a newcomer a while to find.  We don't get paid to place them here.  We just like the food, the atmosphere or both.  We will update the list from time to time as we find additional places.

Why listen to us?  Well obviously you don't have to, but we spend a good chunk of our week on the road in Dutchess and end up finding the most interesting places.  If you want to e-mail us with a place you think we have missed, fill out the form below.

We will provide a website address where one exists or maybe a link to a review by the Journal
