Where to Dine Out on Christmas Eve in the Hudson Valley
As we get closer to Christmas, it seems as if we are crossing off things to do on our list. Whether it's finishing up our shopping, grabbing groceries at the store, or stocking up on our favorite alcoholic beverages, it feels like crunch time.
As we try to remember that this is the giving season and a time to reflect, it's hard to shut off our minds at times. We can work on this reminder and continue to get done what we have on our lists.
Why not let someone take the load off for you? Enjoy homemade entrees from local restaurants this holiday season.
I personally love going out for dinner, drinks, and dessert. My favorite part is that I always have leftovers for the following night so I don't have to cook them either, especially if I'm busy.
Be sure to take a breather and stop in at these Hudson Valley restaurants for a relaxing Christmas Eve dinner.

23 Factory Street, Montgomery
845-424-0222
Dine-in on the historic Montgomery Mills sight. They are welcoming friends and family for their Christmas Eve surf and turf-inspired specials. They do recommend making reservations ahead of time. I enjoy the ambiance at City Winery, their appetizers, and view of the Wallkill River. You can even shop at their gift shop afterward and sit by the fireplace.
