Sonder

To say there’s a lot going on at Sonder would be a massive understatement. The dark dining room walls occasionally glow with light from disco balls and taper candles, and an ornate mirror with LED strip lights in the bathroom gives you a full-body view of yourself on the can. It can be a bit overwhelming at times, but you’ll want to stick around for the food.

The jammy pickled eggs topped with fried shallots are the perfect little bite, and you’ll find yourself scheduling another trip Upstate just to order the vinegar-marinated roast chicken again. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but if you’re visiting during tomato season and don’t order the tomato vin with garlic cream cheese, you may want to reconsider your life choices.
