The newest hotel in Hudson, 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 both use and sell the kind of ceramic mugs you decide you want to buy for your apartment, until you realize they’re $45 each. The food situation is pretty great, too - the chef here used to run Bonfiglio & Bread, an incredible now-closed Hudson bakery. As such, anything involving bread here is a good order, but they also do interesting things like kuku sabzi, an egg frittata covered in pistachio creme. Make this place a priority whether you’re staying in the hotel or not.
