In Beacon, Royal Crepes is fantastic and Glazed Over Donuts is also very good.

I'm a huge fan of Los Hornitos in Wappingers Falls. I also like Saigon Pho in that same plaza. Palace Dumplings a little farther north is amazing. Their dumplings are outstanding.

The cider donuts at Vera's Marketplace in Cold Spring are incredible. They recently won best of the Hudson Valley.

I was just there a few weeks ago. Their pork and chive dumplings are still excellent. The woman at the counter is always friendly and attentive.

We just had an excellent meal in Wappingers Falls (less than 10 minutes from Poughkeepsie) at Le Express. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I had the branzino, which was delicious, and my husband had the croque madame. He thoroughly enjoyed it.

A Tavola in New Paltz is excellent (thread here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/808241). It's one of my all-time favorite restaurants. I also like Queen City Bistro in Poughkeepsie.

Planning to book a table at Queen City Bistro for a girls' night out. I'm looking forward to Restaurant Week this year especially since I missed it in 2014.

Rossi's Deli in Poughkeepsie has great food. http://www.rossideli.com/Rosticceria_...

Thanks for the heads up. I just booked a table at Bocuse. Did they honor the RW menu on Fridays?

I like Giacomo's (http://www.giacomospizza.com/) and Longobardi's in Wappingers Falls. Giacomo's makes a great margherita pie. Tomato Cafe in Fishkill (http://www.tomatocafefishkill.com/) is good.

Second Another Fork in the Road. Aladdin Cafe off of the Rt. 52 exit in Hopewell is also great: http://www.aladdincafenewyork.com/.

Formosa Cuisine in Poughkeepsie might work: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Formos...

I would give them a call. Their food is great.

Hudson Hil's on Main Street is one of my favorite restaurants. I love their grilled cheese sandwich w/bacon. http://www.hudsonhils.com/

At Queen City Bistro? I love squash blossom flowers. Will definitely have to stop by.

The Plumbush Inn is closed. It is now a private school.

Thanks for a great review of QCB! I really enjoyed the food there and I thought the taste and presentation were excellent. Did you find that the pacing of the meal was a little off? I went with two friends and all of our dishes came out at random times. I know that they serve small dishes, but the last plate was served 20 minutes after the penultimate one. Just curious. Thanks!

Fiddlestix Cafe in Cornwall (8 min drive from Storm King) is delicious. It's not fancy, but the food is excellent. I would highly recommend Poppy's Burgers, Gerard's Seafood Cafe and Homespun Foods in Beacon. Get a paleta from Zora Dora as well. Enjoy your time in the Hudson Valley!

Love Market Market Cafe as well. Their avocado on toast is delicious. http://www.marketmarketcafe.com/about...

Glad it worked out!

I think the Poughkeepsie Ice House (http://poughkeepsieicehouse.com/) would be your best bet for riverview outdoor seating on the Poughkeepside. You could also get takeout from Lola's Cafe (http://www.lolascafeandcatering.com/) and eat on the Walkway. Sorry this response is so late!

Stopped by the renovated Vietnamese restaurant (now named Saigon Pho and under new management) and picked up a menu. I didn't have time to try anything, but I was happy to see grilled pork spring rolls on the menu.

FYI: Corsino Cakes is no longer in business.

When you're heading south on Rt. 9, turn right onto Main Street (the west side). Tomato Cafe and Golden Buddha are on your right side (north) while Toro and Tanjore are on your left side (south).

Enjoy!
