Esopus

Esopus

Esopus runs alongside the Hudson, mixing riverfront hideaways with working farmland. Black Creek Preserve and Shaupeneak Ridge mark the hiking and birdwatching scene, while Route 9W holds old-school diners and hidden haunts. Practical—a spot to escape crowds, not culture.

End Cut carves out a slow, steady rhythm in an old roadhouse. Steak sizzles from the kitchen, cocktails pour, and the piano drifts through low lamplight.

Roadside tasting room with a neighborly pace. Wines flow steady, deck chairs catch the light off Route 9W and folks linger into the hour.

West Park

The lights are low and the hiss of hot pans mixes with a few steady piano notes. Steakhouse scents settle into each room, and regulars lean in over bread and cocktails while the kitchen works in the background.

What to Expect:

    🥩 Sharply focused steakhouse classics—filet mignon, pork chops, short rib
    🍸 Craft cocktails, old-school wines, and a proper Manhattan
    🎹 Live piano most nights, creating a comfortable hum in the dining room
    🔥 Fireplace, intimate side rooms, and a tight bar for solo sips
    🌿 Covered patio for outdoor dinners in milder months

Important Information:

    ✔ Table service; reservations strongly recommended, walk-ins sometimes wait
    ✔ Wheelchair accessible entry, low tables, and accessible restrooms throughout
    ✔ Direct booking for parties and special events via Resy
    ✔ Live music is common on weekends—expect longer, unhurried meals

    💵 Wine by the glass and bottle—almost everything under $20

Important Information:

    ✔ Walk-in tastings; seated deck and small indoor bar
    ✔ Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking
    ✔ No vineyard onsite; grapes sourced from Long Island, fermented and bottled here
    ✔ Call ahead for groups 6+; open seasonally, closed Jan–Mar
