With all of the new businesses that have blossomed in the Hudson Valley, there's now so much to choose from. However, each establishment has its own "vibe" to it. From the owners and staff to the ambiance and setting and most importantly, the food, they are all unique.

In addition to new businesses, we also have our favorite, local hotspots that are our "go-to". Each county has its fan favorites that residents enjoy spending their time and cash at while visiting.

More than ever, I would say that Hudson Valley residents feel the same and are happy to see such success within our communities. This is growth for each town, jobs for residents, and new food and shopping options for all those who take part in it.

On their social media, owners of Piccolo Cucina e Vino have given their guests a sneak peak into their upcoming menu. They will also update guests of the exact date of their grand opening.

Under Antipasti, Piadina is an Italian flatbread with basil pesto, fresh tomato, and homemade mozzarella. That is something I could eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I would never get sick of it.

Under Pasta, Cavatelli alla Contadina has spinach, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and parmesan. I might be the first person online when Piccolo Cucina e Vino opens because these options on their menu are simply mouthwatering.
