Hudson Valley Restaurant Week

The fourth annual Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, presented by The Valley Table, takes place March 15 to 28 and this year it's bigger than ever, with more than 125 participating restaurants offering three-course prix-fixe lunches at $20 and/or dinners for $28. New York's Hudson Valley, home to the Culinary Institute of America as well as a trail of exceptional wineries, farms, artisan food producers, and restaurants, is the perfect place for food enthusiasts to spend a weekend or a full vacation and what better time to explore the region's food riches than during restaurant week.
