Sunday Brunch in Hoboken


51 14th St, Hoboken, NJ 07030

Notes

The return for the Hudson Tavern for Restaurant Week this winter. We stopped here a couple of times a year usually for their ribs on Tuesdays.


The crab cake could have been a little warmer but the crab was prevalent and the taste was wonderful.
The second option for a starter was their spinach and artichoke dip served in a generous portion, with pita wedges for dipping. This was enough that we took half of it home.


The crowd here on Saturday for brunch is interesting. A lot of locals a lot of children. There was one table in the back near us of five couples. Frankly, I think they set sexual equality back about two decades. All of the women and their infant children sat at one end of the table, while the men sat at the other. The boys sitting at their in talking about whatever boys talk about,  and the women at the other end looking like they should be doing their needlepoint while watching the children. Finally, at some point between appetizers and entrees, two or three of the women took their children and plop them with their fathers at the other end of the table.



For an entree, the First Choice was their burger with the option of cheese the options of french fries, sweet potato fries, or onion strings on the side. This was prepared perfectly as we had requested slightly under medium.


The other entree choice, what's a seafood medley of perfectly seared tuna, shrimp, and scallops over a bed of arugula. The arugula was dressed with Wasabi vinaigrette that perfectly offset and went with the tuna as well as the shrimp and scallops.

Hudson Restaurant Week - BBQ







Hamilton Pork, is behind the Hamilton Inn, I did not ask if they are related.





We went Thursday night for Hudson Restaurant Week.

  
They are offering three meats with one side and dessert.
Amy had the ribs, brisket,  and lamb belly. 



The ribs were tender, the brisket was fall part good, and the lamb - while fatty as expected - was also fall apart wonderful.


I had the smoked turkey, pulled pork, and pulled chicken.


The turkey had great smokey flavor, the pulled chicken was a bit dry but full of flavor and nothing the sauce could not perk 
up, and the pulled pork was perfect.

The sauce choices are house El Original BBQ sauce and Kung Pow Sauce.



The sides we had were the burnt end beans and the corn.


For dessert we had the churro waffles with ice cream.
And the bread pudding.

A Mano for Happy Hour

Mussels with red sauce
Meatball as an appetizer
Crab meat and shrimp pasta
Ear pasta with veal sausage
We stop by the North Fork on the way home from Montauk this weekend. We'd love to this restaurant when we were here in the spring and decided to give it another try. We came for happy hour with half price cocktails and wine. It seems our recollection of happy hour food specials was incorrect: Thursday is the day for half price pizza.

While we're here we discovered they're participating with Long Island Restaurant Week. So we ordered our three-course dinners and had happy hour wines at the bar.

We were not disappointed with the fare. And we took the desserts to go as we planned on going to the Magic Fountain for ice cream just down the road.
