Food Scene

The beautiful Thayer Hotel is always a must-see when visiting West Point. If you want to do Sunday Brunch, make reservations early! During the warmer months, be sure to head up to the Zulu Lounge. It's an amazing rooftop bar with a great atmosphere.

A family favorite! We love Pepe & the Hacienda crew. Our family eats here (or gets take-out) once a week! It's a great Mexican restaurant. My boys are convinced it is the best chicken soup on the planet. Note: Under very new ownership, so we are hoping it stays as great as it has always been!

The Newburgh waterfront has several amazing restaurants all on one main strip. Tons of outside seating with views of the Hudson River. A perfect date night or special celebration! Reservations recommended. Some of our favorites are Cena & the River Grill. Billy Joe's is also great for a more relaxed, yummy BBQ joint.

Drinks & Nightlife

We have to recommend this bar, because we own it! Even if you aren't up for the bar scene, it's a good place to order late night food to go. Fair warning - It's a very popular cadet dive bar. The weekends are busy & loud...and we love it!

Popular Irish Pub steps outside of the gate. Eamon & George are the best, so be sure to let them know you are staying at "Schoff's House." They are connected to the pizza place (Tony's) next door, so don't be afraid to grab a table in the back when visiting with younger guests.

If you don't already have West Point on your list of things to do, I highly recommend a tour of the campus. While I fully admit it's much more appealing AFTER graduating, the history and views are not to be missed.
