Story summary
Travel + Leisure’s inaugural "The Checkout" series ranked two New York hotel restaurants among the 25 best new venues for 2026: Serre at Hudson’s Maker Hotel and Fields Restaurant at Skaneateles' Fields Resort & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton. Serre, located in a glass conservatory north of NYC, offers French-inspired dishes like warm potato dauphine with cool mackerel and horseradish.

Meanwhile, Fields Restaurant sources its ingredients from the local area around Skaneateles, known for its high-end properties costing up to $20 million, incorporating French and Italian techniques into its cuisine.
