This place can be hosted with a number of events of your choice, private party, drama set, you name it, it will happen and be taken care of by the facility. On my first visit, I wasn't expecting it to look so eye appealing, but stepping in sure answered that question. The room is fairly large with plenty of seating and also a balcony with tables along with a bar - pretty cool if you ask me. With it being very crowded, there are two stair wells to move foot traffic along quickly. I like the decorations all around the room, especially the disco balls that were hanging (a big fan of disco, no joke). It's awesome just taking it all in. The room looked very clean for our event, and I highly recommend booking them for any event if your choice. *Parking is provided on the street and also a parking area just east of this building. Also, the Dramatic Hall is located on the 3rd level via elevator or stairs.*

I'm reviewing this venue exclusively as my experience as a guest/vendor…read more Came here for a clients wedding which is also a friend so I got to experience both aspects: being a vendor and enjoying some things as a guest. First off, I have to say this, I've never seen anything like the Dramatic Hall. It sure lives up to its name. Seriously so much drama and it surely is a photographers playground. It was the perfect atmosphere for a Sunday wedding. Can't say enough how much I enjoyed photographing a wedding here. Everything was so royal and "extra" without being too over the top. The lightning truly was my favorite as well as all the industrial/modern feels. Love the disco balls that hang elegantly as well as the two stairs that wrap around. It's such a fun, different space for any occasion but especially for a wedding. Parking's not the best but they have street parking available nearby. Sunday's it's free so that's a plus. If you're looking for a different kind of venue this is your spot. You will love all the drama and fun it has!

The tourism, real estate and media industries and the government sell a narrative of trees, lakes and hiking. All this can be yours for the low price of $3 million for a second home. Or you can stay in a hotel and enjoy a convenient 25-minute trip from a highway. The actual locations you're trying to visit tend not to have hotels. I'm not a zoning expert but I have seen how impossible it is to find train-friendly hotels. The Holiday Inn Express is reachable from the Peekskill train station. While some maps will indicate a 1-mile walk on a some unappealing looking roads, but the riverfront waterway will get you there. Let's call a 17-minute walk. Travel light! There's outstanding waterfront scenery at Charles Point Park. There appear to be two restaurants walkable from the hotel. I walked to the village of Peekskill but normal people won't want to do that (not a bad Uber ride presumably). On more hotel-specific factors, the shower pressure was excellent, the room was far bigger than usual and all the workers were friendly and helpful.

The atmosphere felt festive and welcoming, perfect for celebrating the holiday with my family. The buffet offered a great variety of options, including traditional Easter favorites like carved ham and lamb, prime rib along with a nice selection of sides, salads, and hot main dishes. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, and the staff did an excellent job keeping the stations fully stocked throughout the evening. The food was delicious! One of the highlights was the dessert table, which had an impressive assortment of sweets--something for everyone to enjoy. My favorite was the chocolate peanut bombs! The presentation across the buffet was clean and inviting, making it easy to go back for seconds (or thirds!). The service was attentive. Our waitress made sure we had our drinks refilled. I will be going back for sure. Looking forward to what they will offer for Mother's day!

Lots of issues here. I will start with the good:…read more The waitress was very nice as was the additional help. Now everything else: We ordered the cheese croquets. This might be just the taste, but nobody at our table liked them. Also - and this seems to be the specialty of the house - they were not particularly warm. We also ordered the nachos with the brisket chili. The plate was huge and the nachos were pretty good. Unfortunately, the chili was largely a rumor. Now for dinner. Oh boy. First the staff, including our waitress, brought us food for another table. We didn't realize it right away, because the other table ordered a couple of items we did. Then we did get our food. We had a couple of the brisket grilled cheeses. These were tasty, but again, with precious little meat in them, and not hot. We had a smash burger order - COLD. Two mushroom truffle burgers - also cold and one was severely undercooked. We were going to a show so we suffered with it. The fries were a hit by the way. I ordered the salt caramel gelato. I've had similar many times. This was overly salty. I was very excited to go here, but unfortunately, quality flew the coop at Birdsall.

Even though I'm rating this at 3 stars, I'd really like to go back here and give it another try…read more Went with a group and we all got different things -- but one thing we all agreed on is that the food is heavy and in some cases greasy. If that's your thing, then 4+ stars! Will also give a big thumbs up to the decor -- loved what was on the walls and the floors looked like they'd recently been redone. Various dishes our group had included a breakfast sandwich with sausage; an omelette, which was probably the healthiest option of what folks got; a cheeseburger; someone else got a French dip kind of sandwich. French fries were fought over -- so also a thumbs up for them. Again, I was the outlier in our group and in other reviews so I do plan to return to give it another chance. Check out the menu and other reviews and maybe you'll give it four or more stars!
