Best of Hudson Valley - Readers' Picks: Best Romantic Dining 2009
Best of Hudson Valley - Editors' Picks: Best Romantic Dining 2004A visit to the Canal House should be a requirement for How to Impress a Date 101. What can go wrong when you’re sitting in front of a roaring fire in an 18th-century stone tavern, surrounded by antiques and enjoying chef John Novi’s groundbreaking cuisine, still nouvelle after 30 years in the kitchen? Even better, between courses you’ll have plenty of time to bill and coo, or pop the question. Best Dining Adventure 2005Everybody’s mixing it up these days, but chef John Novi, who invented octopus choucroute years and years ago, is still dreaming up delicious and daring combinations. If you’re not bold enough to try such delicacies as pig’s head cheese pâté, or unagi eel with matjes herring (served with a shot of black currant vodka), you can do what De Niro does, and go for the chicken.
