This year, I attended an awesome office holiday party at The Roundhouse at Beacon Falls in the quaint town of Beacon, NY. The Roundhouse consists of a hotel, restaurant, and event space, all located right next to the beautiful Beacon Falls waterfalls. We started the night off at the bar, where the bartender introduced me to local bourbon, Hillrock, made right in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Loved it! For dinner, we moved to a private dining room on the second floor. Equipped with champagne in my right hand and a Brooklyn Brewery beer in my left, I enjoyed a tasty three course meal: hamachi with brown butter and yuzu, ricotta gundi with squash and bacon consommé, and blonde chocolate flour less cake with pistachio ice cream. I also sampled the parsnip soup, NY strip, and apple pies — yum! We ended the night with a hilariously fun White Elephant gift exchange. Happy Holidays to all!
