![]() ![]() Savona’s is perhaps best known for its garlic breadsticks. The brothers opened their first Savona’s restaurant in Kingston in 2007 and expanded to Red Hook in 2017 and Poughkeepsie in 2020. The restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine - think rigatoni alla rosa, fettucine bolognese, chicken marsala, veal parmigiana - inspired by recipes from Emanuele Savona, the father of Savona’s founders Stephen and Daniel Savona, who emigrated from Sicily at the age of 21. The popular Hudson Valley Italian eatery Savona’s Trattoria & Bar official opened its fourth location on Aug. Non-alcoholic drinks (and billed as kid-friendly): Don't Call Me Shirley made with grenadine, lime soda and vanilla Coral Reef strawberry lemonade Nut-Free made with pineapple, lime and orgeat (all $8) Shareables: Five-spice chicken wings with various sauces ($14) edamame dumplings with ginger-soy dipping sauce ($9) Jet Set sliders with "secret sauce" ($13)Ĭourses that are grilled, cold, or from the wok: Chili chicken burger with lime aioli and garlic pickles ($17) smashed cucumber salad with sesame, cilantro and honey-garlic dressing ($7) golden-medal fried rice ($11), add chicken for $6 extra or shrimp for $8 extraĪlcoholic drinks: The Jet Set's take on a painkiller ($15) frozen "Eep Oop Ork Ah Ah," described as an underproof piña colada riff with black strap float on top ($15) Bananas and Blow, a take on an old fashioned ($14) The Jet Set is located in a space that previously held two former waterfront businesses: The Blue Martini and Havana. Like Fuchsia, The Jet Set will serve a full menu of shareables and main courses, with vegan and gluten-free options. The Jet Set's group of co-owners were inspired by Fuchsia Tiki Bar in New Paltz, a place Kelly said he's escaped to for years. And The Jet Set's general manager Jess Gonzalez used to bartend at the Liberty Street Bistro her extensive experience in beverage consulting has also landed her in charge of tiki bar's drink program. Pat and Stephanie Nunnari co-own Colorcube Print Co. Fairfax restaurant and the Shelter House Cafe in Downing Park. But a host of other culinary experts are also involved: Maggie Lloyd is the chef de cuisine at Liberty Street Bistro and previously worked as the founding chef at Newburgh's Ms. Their other establishments include the fine-dining Liberty Street Bistro and Newburgh Flour Shop. Jet Set is the latest venture from AMK Restaurant Group, which is run by Kelly and his wife Alex Kelly. "That's the whole point: for this place to be an escape from where you are," said a Hawaiian shirt-clad Mike Kelly. But apparently, that's all part of its design. The tropical-themed bar seemed a bit out of place in New York on an early autumn evening that verged on sweater weather. But among all the getaway tiki decor, the back-lit span of an old airplane's fuselage the owners purchased on eBay most stood out. The space leads visitors to a large patio with two more bars overlooking the water. ![]() Properly lei'd and cocktailed, they were led through the front-of-house bar into a wide dining room with tables high and low, plus a few couches and lounge chairs. Open seven days a week starting at 3 p.m.Īs soon as a person passed under the thatched awning and through the doors of The Jet Set one recent evening, they were transported to a tropical party that could've been thousands of miles from the Hudson River-facing tiki bar in Newburgh. Yates Rubirosa Cucina and Bar Recently opened places to eat and drink In addition to enjoying an enticing dining adventure, with the restaurant only steps away from New Paltz’s cinema, Rubirosa might just be the finest date night venue for miles around. Rubirosa also serves salads, sandwiches, tacos, burgers and generously sized mains, including a 24-hour marinated skirt steak with crispy yucca fries.Īfter ordering their signature cocktail (the Rubirosa, naturally) wood chips were ignited tableside and my drink was smoked right in front of me. ![]() The restaurant’s starters include several shareable options (addictive tuna poke nachos and crunchy crabmeat empanadas), as well as the finest grilled octopus I’ve enjoyed in some time - not cheap at $22, but for the quality, worth it. Located on the site of a former Radio Shack in the New Paltz Plaza (a stone’s throw from Tops supermarket), Rubirosa’s location feels like an unlikely spot for a fresh and vivid culinary experience - although parking in the plaza is plentiful and free. Rubirosa Cucina & Bar, named after colorful Dominican playboy Porfirio Rubirosa, offers a wide range of modern Latin and international cuisine and a selection of ambitious cocktails. 12, a tantalizing new restaurant arrived in New Paltz. ![]()
