Vote for Orange County’s best locally owned diner in our poll

Everyone loves diners, whether it's for pancakes, eggs and coffee in the morning, a beefy burger for lunch or a filling family dinner, and there are many great local places to go. So what's the best diner in Orange County? That is the question in this week's Orange County Showdown poll. We're looking for the best locally owned diner, not one associated with a nationally recognized chain. As with a recent poll on the best pizza parlor in the county, we can't include every diner in the county. There are just too many. But we have selected diners representing a cross-section of the entire county. So go to the poll below. If you see one of your favorites there, let us know what it is. The poll will be open until midnight on Nov. 12. We'll report the results the following day. Mike Randall covers breaking news for the Times Herald-Record and the Poughkeepsie Journal. Reach him at mrandall@th-record,com. This article originally appeared on Times Herald-Record: Vote for Orange County’s best locally owned diner in our poll

The New York Waterfront Seafood Restaurant Where Huge Portions Come With Hudson River Views

I appreciate a restaurant that gives you the view and the seafood without making you choose. Boats pull up to the dock while plates of mussels Fra Diavolo land on the tables nearby. That’s a normal afternoon at this New York seafood spot, where a working marina sits right beside the dining room.

Historic Dimmick Inn has delivered consistently good food since the 1800s

For nearly two centuries, the Dimmick Inn has stood as a local landmark, but it is the lasting quality of their food that keeps the legacy alive. I heard the bustling crowd before I walked through the door, promising another classic Friday night at this historic restaurant. I started my meal off with the French onion mac and cheese and an order of their classic truffle fries topped with grated parmesan cheese and chives. The mac and cheese combined traditional French onion soup flavors with Swiss and provolone cheese, while the fries were perfectly crisp, well-salted and ideal for sharing.
