The people behind the hotel Scribner’s Lodge used a formula discovered by many Williamsburg expats before them: buy an old, run-down Hudson Valley building, make it look like Brooklyn, and the people will come. Scribner’s is a beautiful space, with impressive views of Hunter Mountain on display from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel’s restaurant, Prospect. The housemade pastas, cheeseburger topped black truffle aioli, and cocktails are all delicious, as are all of the desserts. They’re not accepting reservations, but you can call 518-628-5150 to check their availability.
