Lil' Deb's Oasis

Where to Eat Along America’s Iconic Highways | Eater

"U.S. Route 9, runs through New York and continues into New Jersey and Delaware. Head east off of it and you’ll find Lil Deb’s Oasis on a quiet street in Hudson, New York. This psychedelic-hued diner began offering tropical comfort food and inclusive community in 2015 — before that, it was Debbie’s Restaurant, which served up breakfast sandwiches for locals for nearly 30 years before changing hands. The menu prominently features locally sourced ingredients along with plenty of gluten-free and plant-based fare, including mushroom and nopal stuffed tamales and a famous whole fried fish to share. Patrons can contribute to a “community tab” that allows neighbors with less disposable income to eat at the restaurant, and a community fridge outside the dining room offers mutual aid via donated ingredients." - Vox Creative
