A Guide to Hudson Valley’s Historic Dining Spots
The Hudson Valley’s historic dining spots worth a trip include The ’76 House in Tappan, The Thayer Hotel at West Point, and Mohonk Mountain House near New Paltz. Three more, the Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck, the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, and Troutbeck in Amenia, complete the list. Age alone doesn’t connect them.

It’s hard to believe that Trey Anastasio Band hadn’t been back to Albany for more than 13 years, but he’s been a bit busy over that span of time. When you factor in Phish’s touring schedule, baker’s dozens of shows at Madison Square Garden, Trey performing with orchestras around the country, plus solo gigs here and there, Trey’s been a bit busy!
