Shop Locally for Your Holiday Dining Table
Whether we’re gathering around the table for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or another holiday get-together, we love to include locally sourced food as part of our seasonal spread. When shopping for our holiday gathering, we love to stop by Mullahy’s in downtown Hudson. While visiting our Hudson neighbor, we love to grab a variety of artisan cheeses, nuts, chocolates, jams, and crackers to make the perfect, locally sourced charcuterie board for our guests. We can’t forget to pop over to Medusa Brewing Company to pick up some local brews. Here, we grab some Laser Cat IPA and other Hudson-made beers to cheers with our friends and family. And we, of course, can’t forget about dessert. Shopping for our holiday dining table ends with a stop right here at New City Microcreamery to pick up an ice cream pie, made in-house with our creamy ice cream and homemade waffle cone crust.
