"Swoon Kitchenbar is a crowd-pleasing restaurant on Hudson’s Warren Street. Pop in for a post-spa day kale salad for lunch, but know it’s equally good for a date night or dinner with your parents. The phrase “farm to table” has been well run into the ground in the Hudson Valley, but Swoon was doing it long before it was cool—20 years to be exact. There are lots of vegetables to snack on, like super crispy and plump fried artichokes, and an excellent burger.

The beef comes from a farm 15 miles away, and the fluffy brioche bun does an excellent job soaking up the burger’s meaty juices. Each order also comes with extra crispy cubes of tater tots." - Anne Cruz
