When celebrated chef Zak Pelaccio announced he was leaving New York City for a small town called Hudson three hours North, many were left scratching their heads. But anyone who has been to the riverfront village in recent years was automatically in on the secret. Described by Pelaccio as an \u201curban oasis,\u201d Hudson blends the best of city amenities with a low-speed, country mentality.<\/p>\n

There are farmers markets and fine antiques, high-end clothing shops for kids and hip wine stores for adults. It\u2019s quiet. You can see the stars at night.

Built inside of a 19th-century brick building that was a blacksmith shop in a past life, the interior of Fish & Game is warm and luxe, with leather club chairs and painted dados, recalling the home of a wealthy great uncle you never had but wish you did. The menu also takes its inspiration from its surroundings, using local produce and herbs grown on the partners\u2019 farms, house-made condiments such as Lady Jayne\u2019s Worcestershire (Jori\u2019s specialty brand), and proteins roasted inside of two hearths on the property. Lest you think Pelaccio has given up his love of Southeast Asian flavors, fear not: There are barrel-aged fish sauces and house-made kimchis too.\u00a0Hungry for some \u2018destination dining\u2019 yet? You\u2019ll need a place to stay.<\/p>\n
