Catskills
Located just outside of Tannersville's main strip, the dining room at Jessie's Harvest House is spread out over the ground floor of a charming home. There's a great selection of mains and some small plates that offer great modern twists to classic American dishes (the banana vinegar brussel sprouts are a must-have).
There is lodging upstairs from the restaurant (rooms from $150 a night).
