The manicured market…read moreatmosphere, the varied assortment of luxury culinary treats, the sheer quality of ingredients paired expertly with each other on the daily menu, the locally sourced unique treasures of gifts and trinkets, the gentle pleasantness of the staff... everything comes together here to form a true and complete product. Talbott & Arding was chosen as our first stop on our girls' getaway journey. Tucked in the Hudson Valley, just an hour from the Berkshires, it was a sweetly energetic beginning to our day. We each chose a sandwich from the counter. My smoked salmon on focaccia was a delight. The bread, airy and light, beautifully happy yeast just bounding with lift, defying the constraints of olive oil which left my fingers gloriously glistening. I haven't had a focaccia as happy as that in a minute. Super thin radish, bright pickled shallot and fresh watercress all gave a nice vibrant touch. Ben's cream cheese couldn't possibly be creamier. And the delicate, silky, fresh, luxurious salmon... What a dream. So balanced. I filled my arms with goods- iberico salami, Aleppo chili oil, Blackstrap coffee beans, local chocolates, and an adorable Talbott & Arding puzzle. I'm sure I could have easily convinced myself to buy just about everything I laid my eyes upon. The cheese counter was an absolute work of art. It's clear that Talbott & Arding is a willing servant to the gifts of the surrounding earth and people. The homage it pays is palpable. Our stop at Talbott & Arding set the tone for an intentional, peaceful, vibrant, cozy, delicious, connected trip. I'll be back immediately.

What a gem of a coffee shop. I took my Aunts (mom's friends before they became relative through…read moremarriage) to Hudson, NY. Wound down the day and wanted them to get a little pick me upper. My Aunt Libby says it sounds Filipino...We go in and lo and behold it was! Halo Halo was out so I ordered coffee and they got tea. They also had yummy pastures like coconut muffin and they had mango. Everything was a delight and my Aunts liked it. Service was nice and cheerful but slow. They were packed so they get a pass. However they tried to get caught up and got what we ordered in good time. Ambiance is nice and quaint with indoor and outdoor seating. I can imagine this place getting packed in summer for sure. I liked it! So if you are in Hudson, NY and want some good drinks and other foods, hit Nolita up! Definitely a jewel in the countless number of coffee shops on the street.

The jalapeño and cheese pretzel was great, the cardamom bun was delicious, the chocolate croissant was excellent, and the egg and cheese on a biscuit was probably my favorite thing I ate all weekend. I also picked up the blueberry and yuzu pastry, which I haven't tried yet, but at this point I have complete faith. I also just love the vibe in here. It feels warm and welcoming and like everyone is meant to be there. There are a bunch of fun things to look at while you're waiting in line, there's a great little outdoor area to sit and eat, and the whole place just feels GOOD. I was in London the prior week marveling at how good the bakeries were per their differential on butter and flour, but this place wiped that "London does it better" feeling right from my brain. Honestly, this is one of my favorite bakeries I've been to. I came back more than once while I was in the area and drove 30 minutes each way, which should tell you everything you need to know!

Well seasoned with a dense crust and fluffy interior. There aren't a lot of seating options but we got a table easily. Overall very happy with this meal!

We…read morehave been for brunch, for their fresh breads and for their many amazing baked goods, but Le Perche is rarely open for dinner so we did not know what to expect. Dinner was OUTSTANDING. We started with their signature focaccia, fresh out of the oven. Then, a seasonal Asparagus Tarte that was very much a deconstructed version: a delicious butter crust at the bottom of the plate, frisée lettuce, perfectly prepared asparagus topped with a pecorino creme vinaigrette. The perfect spring dish. Next was a Tuna crudo with ramp oil, watermelon radishes, fresh microgreens and toasted hazelnuts. Finally, their take on a Frisée aux Lardons, served with pickled figs. The lardons themselves were nicely crisped, and very satisfying. We had Negronis for cocktails, and a generous carafe of rose, served off the tap. All around one of the best meals I've had. Can't wait for the next menu that Chef Jeffrey Gimmel puts together. Apparently this is a monthly series, so keep a look out and don't miss the June dinner, guessing end of June on a Saturday night?

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Unfortunately, they no longer have the sticky bun. Apparently, the cost of honey became too expensive to keep it on the menu. I was actually really disappointed because I drove all the way here specifically to try the sticky bun! Since we didn't end up eating a meal, I decided to try the cream puffs instead. They were light, airy, and had a nice texture, but they weren't very sweet. The sweetness was very subtle, which may be perfect if you prefer desserts that aren't overly sweet. I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and to try their other offerings--but I'm still sad about missing out on that sticky bun!

Now first off, don't get me wrong, buying in bulk or sacrificing the quality of some ingredients to large suppliers like this is definitely a reality when running a restaurant. Even moreso in this day and age when ingredient prices are exorbitant. That said, it needs to be reflected in the price point. Pastries are arranged beautifully under cloches in the display case, but I could spot the premade, ready-to-bake spinach feta bistro (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/QZ119984/) or ham and cheese croissant (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/99971/) from a mile away. The avocado spread on the preassembled breakfast sandwiches is definitely the pulp from the 3lb bag from Chef's Warehouse too. I know that taste! All of that said, they had a few items in the case that I'm sure weren't from one of these big vendors. Which was great to see. My (yes, unsolicited!) advice would be to pare down the menu. Offer just a bit less so you can focus on the quality. Try and tap into some local producers if you can! That's one of the best things about the Hudson Valley... how much all the purveyors and markets and cafes support each other. It's clear too how much they care about the community. They're dog friendly inside. No WiFi to encourage people to chat with one another. Fine. I really want to see this place continue to thrive, it's just a bit of a bummer that a significant part of the menu including things that really should be fresh, aren't.
