The hotel, at 3rd and Warren, is still a work in progress, scheduled to open in 2019, but the elegant bar/lounge and outdoor terrace are open and serving cocktails, wine and interesting light food.  This venture is from the owners of the Bartlett House in Ghent, a bakery and restaurant that has been very successful.  We stopped in with some friends this past weekend for a drink.  Interesting cocktails, a piano, sofas and chairs, a fireplace.  This is definitely much more upscale than what Hudson has been used to.
