Harvest on Hudson

My family went to celebrate my grandma’s 91st birthday at Harvest on Hudson, a really delicious Italian restaurant with a spectacular view of the Hudson River (the name is such a giveaway!)

We split a few appetizers – crab legs, tuna carpaccio, and asparagus and mushroom risotto. The seafood was so fresh, and the risotto was luscious but not too heavy. For my main course, I ate branzino (a white fish) with sweet corn and pink and yellow watermelon. I was surprised at how well the juicy watermelon went with the delicate fish.

I am going to be quite frank about dessert – it was my least favorite course (shocking, I know), but it was still good. I ordered flourless chocolate cake with nutella ice cream. The cake was a bit too rich for me, but alas, the meal was still superb.

Harvest on Hudson is definitely a place worth visiting if you ever want to dine outside of NYC. It’s peaceful, the food is delightful, and the surroundings are beautiful.

Happy birthday Nana!
