‘No Reservations’ Recap: Buchanan, Crabs, Bars, Sausages, CIA, New Paltz, Mohonk Mountain House and X20 in Yonkers
What did everyone think of the episode last night? I think my favorite part was the gang eating crabs in the shadow of Indian Point. Though the Shining spoof at Mohonk was good, too. And Mike Pardus’ precocious little girl — wow!
But what I learned — and where I can’t believe I’d never heard of before — was the sausage guy. This, from reader Joan Jennings:
I caught the HV segment on the Travel Channel last night and was surprised and pleased to see that a featured stop was the Quaker City deli in black dirt onion country. My mother came from that part of the woods (our family burial plot is in the cemetery adjacent to St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church in Pine Island). Andy and I would also stop in Quaker City when going back and forth to visit my folks when they were still alive; they relocated back to Sussex from Yonkers after my dad retired. My favorite there is a long narrow spicy smoked sausage akin to (but a thousand times better than) beef jerky.
Sounds terrific.
OK, who knows what the name of that bar was? That looks pretty fun, too!
