Culinary Updates from the Hudson Valley

Beacon's always reliable go-to BBQ joint The Piggy Bank, so named for its appropriation of a landmark former financial institution, has sadly shut its doors for good. Day trips to the Dia Museum and Storm King Sculpture Center will never be quite the same.

A new addition to the Beacon dining scene is Dona Maria's, a small Dominican eatery plating very classic and standard tropical Latin fare with a bit more finesse than usually encountered in Brooklyn or Spanish Harlem. The lunch special above of pepper steak and yellow rice with a side of stewed black beans was satisfying in the overly-salted (and Sazon-ed) way one expects. Even better though was a side order ($3.95) of tostones (absolutely greaseless fried green plantains) and a tongue-tingling dipping sauce of pureed onions, cilantro and garlic.

The waterfront section of Kingston, NY is a most charming dinner destination, flanked on one side by the majestic, calm expanse of the Hudson River and on the other, streets lined with historical and smartly restored storefronts and homes. On a frigid Tuesday Cafe D., along with our old and dear friend Ruth Kopelman, stumbled upon the Mon-Wed., all-night $20 prix fixe dinner special at Savona's Trattoria (11 Broadway, Kingston, NY) and couldn't have been happier with: good Gimlets, a reasonably priced wine selection, decent salad, oily but divine breadsticks, comforting fried eggplant rollatini, baked salmon and mushroom risotto and junior vanilla cannolis.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of
your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?

I leave a response when I especially enjoy a post on a site or I have something to valuable to contribute
to the conversation. It's caused by the passion displayed in the post I looked at. And after this article "Culinary Updates from the Hudson Valley". I was actually moved enough to drop a commenta response ;-) I do have 2 questions for you if it's okay.
Is it simply me or do some of the comments look like written
by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I would like to follow you.
