With a red barn exterior and elegant pizza ovens inside, Steve's is a must for wood-fired, brick oven pizza in Orange County. While the pizzas are an absolute must (the Sicilian is dreamy), the sandwiches are a delicious mouthful as well. Photo by Sabrina Sucato

A sweet spot for locals in Orange County, Dottie Audrey's is a must for breakfasts and lunches in the Hudson Valley. Sandwiches are delicious, as are the sweet pastries that grace the counter. The eatery stocks local goods like Crown Maple syrup as well. Photo by Sabrina Sucato
