Happy Pride! Every now and then, someone asks me for my preferred pronoun or they ask if they should refer to me as “Trixie” or “Rich”. Honestly, I don’t care. Whatever works. I’m an old-school homosexual. I’m a “drag queen”, and my chyron underneath should read, FOR Entertainment Purposes ONLY! My gender-bending is barely an…

Open Early / Closes Late – Where to Eat in Hudson Off-Hours
I know you. It was 5am, you just got out of the Roxy, or some other Michael Alig party, and in order to sober up a bit before trekking back to your Alphabet City five-story walk-up apartment, you want a cup of coffee. You walk down 14th Street in platform shoes, (ripped) purple fishnet stockings,…
Iron and Grass
You’ve passed it multiple times and wondered what’s that? Opened in August 2021, in the former Liberi School on Route 9, Iron and Grass is a new steak chophouse, right outside of Hudson. The name, Iron and Grass, is derived from the locally grass-fed meat cooked in a cast iron pan. Cooking in a pan…

Talbott and Arding in Hudson Open Its Doors!
Hudson, NY The wait is over. No more standing patiently in the tiny but formidable home of Hudson’s “gourmet provisions and cheese” shop.

Back to Hagar’s Harbor Bar and Restaurant
Athens-ish, NY I’ve been writing this blog for a little over a year now, and I still have not written about all the places in Hudson, yet, here I am writing about Hagar’s Harbor Bar and Restaurant for the second time! Cross the river and take your second right onto 385. Keep going, past Murderer’s…
Hudson Curry House Buffet Reopens!
Pre-pandemic, I remember going to Hudson Curry House on a Wednesday or Friday evening, and it was full of people from town. Hudson Curry House this week reopened its buffet on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5pm-9pm. Delicious, all-you-can-eat Indian food for $15/person. If you like Indian food, but never know what to order, buffet style…
Gracie’s Loves You
Gracie’s Luncheonette – Leeds, NY Up until yesterday, I never visited Gracie’s. I know? Ridiculous! I knew it was on the other side of the river somewhere, but, where’s Leeds? It’s easy. Gracie’s is located only only two miles up the road, past Home Depot, on your way to the Thruway. How easy is that?…
Get on the Map, Hudson!
This is the map that visitors will want! When walking down Warren Street with this map, people will stop and ask, ‘Where did you get that map?’ Why will people want it? It includes parking information (like this website). It includes outlining areas, such as the Greenport trails, and it includes the new Empire State…
Martindale Chief Diner
On a trip out to Hillsdale, I passed a diner along and made a mental note, ‘Oh, I can stop by and grab lunch at that trendy new/old diner’. I was thinking the West Taghkanic Diner. TrixiesList.com writer, Aaron Boisvert, wrote a review back in October. I wanted the pancakes, which I am STILL craving!…
