Restaurant between Albany, NY & New Haven, CT
Can anyone suggest a restaurant about halfway between Albany, NY & New Haven, CT to meet with friends? Not looking for a chain; would prefer something more unique, cozy; good food.

I don't have time this morning -- but if you go to www.egullet.com - in the United States Section -- click on that portion of NY you will certainly get recommendations!

If you want some help Kathy, I think you have to do some work and tell us WHERE halfway is. There are many ways to drive between these 2 places and halfway can fall in a lot of places I'd think. I did a quick mapquest search. Their directions would place halfway around Springfield/Holyoke Mass. I don't know that area.

We make this trip frequently and take different routes, so I am open to all suggestions of anything between here & there. The routes I'm familiar with: the highway route is I-90 East to Springfield to I-91 South to New Haven. For a more scenic route, we also take I-90 east and exit at Exit 2 of the Mass Pike, down Route 8. Open to different types of food - would like something comfortable -- if someone could come up with a New England Inn along this route that serves good food, that would be great!

Xavier's is famous but only serves lunch/brunch on weekends. The Turning Point is fun. Here's some more info

In Piermont, I can recommend the superb Freelance Cafe (which is owned by the owners of Xavier's). They don't take reservations and it's a very popular place.
Also in Piermont, I recommend Pasta Amore, which, of course, is Italian.

For unique try Gasho, a hibichi steakhouse. See photos and menu of Hawthorn NY site at www.gasho.com
More halfway between Albany and New Haven would be the German restaurant Hofbrauhaus in Springfield Ma.
