The Rivertown Lodge is basically the real-life amalgamation of every well-styled photo of upstate New York on the internet. There’s blonde wood everywhere, mid-century furniture and walls covered in books, and they use and sell the kind of ceramic mugs you decide you want to buy for your apartment, until you realize they’re $45 each. As for the food - dishes like grilled pork ribs with preserved mustard greens or roast chicken with salsa verde - it’s very good, and a lot less than $45. Whether or not you’re staying at the hotel, make this place a priority for dinner, which is offered Friday to Monday from 4-9pm, or Sunday brunch from 10am-2pm.
