(Continued on Page 32) February Favorites: Date Night "Whether it's mid- week or the weekend, Clay and I love the Mexicali Blue Restau- rant in Wappinger's Falls on Route 9. Small restaurant, delicious food and friendly staff. Feeling full, we'll head to the movies at the Pough- keepsie Galleria or the $2 Tuesday seats at the South Hills Cinema 8." — Terrie Goldstein, publisher "My favorite date night includes grab- bing a pot of hot tea at Bank Square in Beacon followed by some win- dow shopping along Main Street." — Brittany L. Morgan, web editor "Our favorite date night is heading over to Home Depot to dream up fabulous plans for future proj- ects, then dinner and chocolate at The Melting Pot at the Poughkeepsie Galleria." — Pamela Perry, community liaison "One of my favor- ite date nights is get- ting a drink and apps "dinner" at a restau- rant on the waterfront in Newburgh, then catching a movie at the Downing Film Center on Front Street where we have seen some really good movies." — Pam Soscia, traffic manager "Date night to me is enjoying a great new restaurant and a movie in the winter." — Christy Olivier, media advisor "One of my favorite date nights is walking around Rosendale. Dinner at 1850 House or Bywater Bistro, a stroll down to Post- mark Books for some good reading material, and then the movies at Rosendale Theater. It's not complete without popcorn." — Matthew Silverman, media advisor My ideal date night starts off with a late afternoon hike on one of my favorite moun- tains in the Hudson Valley area; Storm King, Breakneck or Mount Beacon. Afterward grab- bing some food on Main Street in Beacon. First, stopping at Bank Square for a cup of coffee and finishing the night with margaritas and tacos at Baja 328! — Julia Recine, intern Painting by Jamie Williams Grossman HudsonValleyPainter.com
