"The people behind the Scribner’s Lodge used a formula discovered by many Williamsburg ex-pats before them: buy an old, run-down Hudson Valley building, and make it look like Brooklyn. Scribner’s is a beautiful space, with impressive views of Hunter Mountain from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel’s restaurant, Prospect. The smoked anchovy caesar, burger with pickles and special sauce, and cocktails are delicious, as are all of the desserts." - anne cruz
