Pete's Hot Dog Stand is one of the best places to go in Newburgh for some really delicious hot dogs! We love to order Pete's Original, which is a hot dog with mustard and onions. We're big chili fans, but once we tried the plain dog with mustard and onions, we fell in love with it. This restaurant is very small but always busy, and since it doesn't take long to scarf down some dogs, you get in and out pretty quickly even when they're packed. The prices are cheap, the ambiance is diner chic at its best, and the service is that great old fashioned style that you just can't find anywhere these days. Note that it's one of those cash only places, so stop at the ATM if you don't have any green on hand.

Torches on the Hudson is just gorgeous at night, dining outdoors during the warmer months of the year is a pleasure that you have to discover for yourself. The service here has always been top notch, with servers who really care about your dining experience, and who are very knowledgeable about the menu. It's nice to just come in and sit at the bar, sipping delicious cocktails and watching the fish swim in that beautiful aquarium. As you can imagine, that's perfect for those romantic dates too. Be sure to try the mixed seafood grill, the spinach dip appetizer, and of course that delicious seafood chowder. They've got a dessert menu that is definitely worth a peek too. Very good food and drinks and the price isn't too high considering how amazing the place is!

Caffe Macchiato sounds like it would just be a coffee shop, but in actuality it's a fantastic full service cafe with delicious breakfasts, lunches, brunches, and more! Try the coconut waffles and french toast, they are amazing! We really love the paninis here, and they've got a baguette with eggs, ham, sprouts, greens, and zesty marinara sauce that is so delicious and fresh tasting. All of the coffee drinks rival your other favorite coffee shop (trust us!) and we especially enjoy the personalized service and the friendly staff. The atmosphere is another reason to continue coming here. It's just so cozy and comfortable. You can't beat the convenient location.

The River Grill has always been a great place to go, both because of its incredible food, and because they are so consistent! It's one of the best restaurants around, with a truly gorgeous view and a very impressive menu. We love the bread with butter and olive topping, and can't imagine a better way to start a meal. The clams with chorizo is really a fantastic dish and it's a combination that we have not seen elsewhere. The steaks are also really wonderful here, not overspiced and always cooked perfectly to order. Try the potato croquettes too, they are a very nice complement to your meal. For brunch you've simply got to order the eggs benedict! Their hollandaise sauce is really wonderful. The prices here are surprisingly reasonable for this kind of quality!

Alexis Diner is one of our favorite breakfast spots in Newburgh, with their wonderful thick french toast, and their enormous omelettes that are packed with meat, veggies, and cheese! We absolutely love their coffee too.  For the non-breakfast items they've got a wide array of foods from all over the world, including Italian, Greek, and Mexican.In keeping with that, they have one of the most unique decor themes of any restaurant we've ever been to, with a different country featured in the artwork of each room. If you love diner fare and that comfy old fashioned type of ambiance, then you will really feel right at home at Alexis Diner. We always do.

The Blue Martini is a very cool nightclub located right on the Hudson River here in Newburgh. We love the music that they play here, mostly hip hop, and the neverending high energy vibe that permeates the entire club. You'll spend most of the night on the dancefloor, but when you're not, you'll be chilling in their cozy seating areas and enjoying the company of your friends. The age groups that hang here are widely varied, so it's not just a young crowd or an old crowd. That kind of diversity is a nod to how great this place really is. We really love the sushi and the drinks here too. If you like to get a little more dressed up when you go out, which unfortunately isn't the norm nowadays, you can do that here. That's definitely one of the perks.

Cena 2000 is known as one of the very best Italian restaurants in Newburgh, maybe THE best, and we have had many wonderful experiences here over the years. For special occasions and birthdays, you just can't beat a dinner here. They've got lots of delicious game meats if that's your thing, and wonderful seafood too. The wine list is really noteworthy and you can rely on the servers to guide you to the right wine if you aren't a sommelier yourself. People tend to fixate on the wine here because they're known for it, but take it from us, the martinis are also really excellent. Great service, amazing ambiance, and delicious entrees and desserts. You will definitely enjoy yourself here to say the least!

Big Easy Bistro is of course a Cajun and Creole restaurant that brings all the wonderful flavors of New Orleans right here to our neck of the woods in Newburgh. We really adore the pork chops stuffed with gorgonzola cheese and spinach with wine sauce... we've ordered it several times and it's a real knockout. They've got great po boy sandwiches here, plus really delicious burgers, and we also love their fried shrimp sandwiches. For a change of pace try the fried scallop sandwich too. They've got a very nice selection of beers on draft and in bottles. You'll love the New Orleans decor and the voodoo style that is woven throughout it. Don't forget to try the gumbo! It's fantastic!

Machu Picchu Peruvian Restaurant is one of the better places to try Peruvian food if you never have before. They've got a really extensive menu here, much larger than what we have seen at any other Peruvian restaurants in New York, and there's also a nice lunch menu that will help you to save a few bucks while trying several different things. Try the escabeche de pescado if you are a fish lover. You will not be disappointed. They've got a very nice selection of beers here including Peruvian beer, but none of it is on draft. The service is always very friendly here too. Very nice ambiance.

The Wherehouse is a wonderful American barbecue restaurant that we've had the pleasure of dining at several times in the past year. They've got a lot of options for vegetarians here too, which is a surprise, and lots of hamburgers and sandwiches for the meat eaters out there as well. You can get either regular fries or sweet potato fries here, and it's nice to have the option, though we'll tell you straight up that the sweet potato fries are the clear choice! They're so good. They've got a very unique twist on a Cuban sandwich, great plantains, and delicious wings. Nice selection of beer, and live music at certain times too! Very cool place to chill with friends and relax the hard work week away.
