Sunday afternoons can be a quiet time in Hudson. The tourists and weekenders are on the train home, the “remoters” and locals with nine-to-five-Monday-Friday jobs may have the Sunday night blues right before another week of work. It’s a little “meh” around town.
Enter grilled meat to save the day!
Even I, a vegetarian and card-carrying PETA member, can appreciate the importance of a good barbeque. It brings people together.
At 3pm in the pocket park on Warren Street, between 3rd and 4th, across from Hudson Hall, in the grass next to the fountain, you can buy locally-raised Hudson Valley grilled meat ready to eat from our newest butchers, The Meat Hook.
The Meat Hook is a whole-animal butcher shop open every day of the week, 10am-6pm. They are also a grocery store with a selection of local vegetables and goods.
How could you not buy meat from Sam the Butcher? Go ask Alice!
Let’s say you want to support local merchants, but you also want to support the animals. I have a solution! Go to Richie’s Deli on North 5th Street, buy a vegan sandwich and bring it to meat your friends at the pocket park with the Meat Hook on Sundays at 3pm.
It was the sign in the window of Chef Richie’s Deli on North 5th that drew my attention.
They offer a wide selection of vegan options, including Impossible Burgers.
Check it out and let some fake or real meat beat those meh Sunday night blues!
Everyone can support the animals at
AnimalKind’s online auction, click here.
