It’s one of my favorite times of the year—Hudson Valley Restaurant Week—and it runs Nov. 1 to the 13th. It you haven’t taken advantage of the incredible (cost-effective) opportunity to check out some of the best restaurants in the Hudson Valley, now is your chance. The Valley Table pulled together a great assortment of eateries and, as your professional restaurant recommender, I have some suggestions on where to go (and what to order!).
