The past two weeks have been incredibly cold in Upstate New York. Temperatures are rarely above 15, and that's before windchill, and I can't remember the last time I saw the sun. If you're from the Northeast or have ever visited in the winter, you know that sunshine is pretty rare and the most you can usually hope for is a bright day as the sun bounces off of snowflakes. That's one of the reasons why I loved our brunch at The Blue Hen so much! The airy conservatory is so bright, it almost felt like a summer day instead of a blustery -7 degree morning, and the Parisian inspired decor was a visual treat and so unique for the area!
Gorgeous Decor
Perfect Latte
Croissant French Toast
That's the Soft Scramble with Caviar on the left
Shakshuka
Pasty Basket - especially loved the Pepper Biscuit!
Pro Tip: Specialty coffees and breakfast cocktails are not on the menu but are offered - all you need do is ask.
And for those asking about the Adelphi remodel - I have to say, both we were all highly impressed. While a departure from the original Adelphi, which had a Victorian bed and breakfast feel to the hotel, with a mix of antiques and quirky layout, the remodeled Adelphi is stunningly sophisticated. It has a very high-end art deco feel to it, and, as I mentioned, The Blue Hen's inlaid floor, blue velvet seats, mirrored walls and caned furniture reminds me of a cafe in Paris. There is lots of marble, velvet, and woodwork throughout the hotel. It seems both luxurious and relaxing, and Tony has suggested we book a night there the next time we are in town.
