A week ago an Artist friend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while asked if I was available to meet her for a gallery show in Jersey City. She invited another Artist friend along who I asked for a suggestion for a place to have dinner, and she suggested several places. Her husband had recommended one of them to me before, and I hadn't had a chance to try it yet. When I went online to look at the menu and I saw how good everything sounded and that it had outdoor seating with beautiful Hudson River views, that was the place where I wanted to go.
The day that we had planned was a lovely one, with temperatures in the low 80's and a breeze that kept things comfortable. Hudson & Co. was a wonderful choice, and after the gallery we walked there easily, finding a table with beautiful views. We were lucky that we had planned an early dinner because just after we arrived it began to get very busy. The food was inventive and excellent, very fresh and creative ingredients and combinations. The cocktail list looked wonderful, but I decided on wine and the list was full of great choices for every palate. The service was as excellent as the food and our time there flew by in conversation, with enjoyable flavors and tastes and a beautiful view.
Jersey City is a wonderful place, and during this past year I've felt even more blessed to live within walking distance of so many beautiful and interesting places. Just having the gorgeous waterfront walkways is something that makes every day better, and with great places to visit for great meals life feel much sweeter. Now that the days are getting warmer, having a place like Hudson & Co. to visit is a gift, with the very special menu items and the very special views that make it a place where everything feels better.
