Cash Cow on the Hudson

Hudson Restaurant & Lounge Opens

Most restaurants are nice places to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live there.

Sleeping on wooden chairs, eating crab ravioli for breakfast — even a comfort-food eatery is not necessarily a home.

Unless you’re at Hudson Restaurant & Lounge, a new spot opening tomorrow that you might just want to move into.

For one thing, they’ve got brunch, lunch, and dinner service, and they’ll soon be adding breakfast, so you’ll be covered for all the day’s food requirements. Meaning whether it’s a 10 a.m. smoothie, a midday burger, or a hearty sit-down dinner of matzoh ball soup and buttermilk fried chicken, there’s always something on the menu to suit your timing and taste.

Comfy banquettes make for a stay-awhile setting — so much so that you might find yourself wanting to take a snooze after dessert.

But don’t worry. If you wake up feeling peckish, they’ve got an apple cinnamon martini that makes a perfect midnight toast.

All the comforts of home, plus vodka?

Hudson Restaurant & Lounge, 2030 M Street NW, between 20th and 21st Streets (202-872-8700).
