In a Soho-like complex by the Hudson River Red Hat on the River’s gorgeous 19th-century brick structure once housed the massive boiler for the Burnham & Lord conservatory factory. They’re the glass and steel works responsible for the vast, Crystal Palace-like greenhouses still seen in Lyndhurst and at the New York Botanical Garden.
Moved from its original spot on Irvington’s Main Street, Red Hat on the River accentuates its new riverfront digs with a 65-seat outdoor dining patio and a 50-seat rooftop cocktail bar. While the no-reservation bankside patio offers great views north to the Tappan Zee and south to Manhattan, Red Hat on the Roof offers a novel, elevated perspective. Look for a cool vibe, loungey sectionals, and a chic rooftop garden.
There's classic bistro fare at this always packed restaurant...try the luxurious timbale of wasabi-spiked tuna tartare with creamy avocado, ginger, and lime-pickled daikon, a bowl of garlicky moules frites, and a great Red Hat burger with maple smoked cheddar cheese. Red Hat’s cocktails also are a treat—especially enjoyed alfresco. A big favorite is the crisp, summery take on the traditional martini, Red Hat’s Hendricks gin and cucumber.
