On Our Way to the “Birdsall House”
The Hemlock Hill Burger.
PEEKSKILL, NY – With recent reports of locals uncovering a hidden gem in Peekskill, NY, we decided to shortlist the “Birdsall House” on our buzz-worthy visit list. Such rumors are warranted by an exquisite beer selection showcasing up and coming local brew artisans, 20 beers on draft at any given time. My source recommends I begin with a selection from their house-made charcuterie list offering contemporary play on classics such as chicken liver, duck-cider sausage, and local Hudson Valley cheeses. The “Hemlock Hill” beef burger is unanimously a favorite garnished with house-made condiments, carrot pickles, caramelized onions, mesclun greens, neatly placed on a warm organic challah bun. The desserts are a rave across the board including, “Maple and Bacon” ice cream served on a fresh cornmeal waffle with apple butter and bourbon caramel. The “Humingbirdsall” cake is a banana layered cake with pineapple, cream cheese frosting, and honey-walnut ice cream. I’ll be heading there this week to see if this isn’t just poetry on paper but on a plate and my palate as well.
Always looking to take a little adventure. Thanks for the info.
I’ve been there, this place is truly worth your time.
