This biannual two-week event, which was started in 2006 by The Valley Table magazine, helps to promote all aspects of the local food scene. From chefs and farmers to artisanal producers, purveyors and more, Hudson Valley Restaurant Week is among the largest Restaurant Weeks in the country with more than 200 eateries showcasing the best of their cuisine.
Each restaurant participating in HVRW will offer special three-course prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus between Monday, Nov. 4 and Sunday, Nov. 17 for the promotional prices of $22.95 (lunch) and $32.95 (dinner).
Officials say an additional 20 restaurants will be participating in the event for the first time to represent a variety of cuisines throughout Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Ulster, Orange, Sullivan and Dutchess counties. This year’s HVRW newcomers include:
- Bernie’s Holiday Restaurant, an American Fish and Steakhouse in Sullivan
- Café Pitti, which serves specialty wood-fired dishes and Italian classics in Orange
- Coppola’s La Fantasia Ristorante, an authentic Italian eatery in Ulster
- Joe & Joe, a traditional Italian eatery in Rockland
- Le Chambord at Curry Estate’s restaurant, serving an American continental menu in Dutchess
- Sapori, an authentic Italian eatery in Westchester
- Único, serving internationally creative cuisine in Westchester
This year’s HVRW is also the first under the new owner, Today Media.
“We are incredibly excited for our very first HVRW,” said Mike Martinelli, Today Media’s Hudson Valley Group Publisher. “We plan to continue the goals first set out by founders and previous owners of HVRW and The Valley Table, Jerry Novesky and Janet Crawshaw, which are to cultivate the relationships between Hudson Valley restaurants, farms and purveyors both in the magazine and during HVRW.
"We look forward to increasing the exposure to these relationships, to The Valley Table and to Hudson Valley Restaurant Week in the years to come.”
