A SPRING ROLL APPETIZER ALONE IS $10!!!!
"Try a trio of soups and be sure not to miss the grilled shrimp spring rolls ($10) -- a healthy stack of crisply fried rolls that are a sheer pleasure to eat, especially with the tangy, subtly sweet ginger-beet hoisin sauce."
A BOWL OF SOUP IS $19
"On a brisk night it would be difficult to not be charmed by a beef Bolognaise with spinach over fusilli ($16), or perhaps what sounds like a real labor of love -- pork cutlet with apple spaetzle and sage-roasted root vegetables. I could have easily chosen the coq au vin -- the fanciful name for a simply prepared but no less delicious dish of wine-braised free range chicken accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes, broccoline and sweet caramelized shallots. Instead, Nikola's fisherman's chowder ($19) was the ideal choice, satisfying my desire for seafood but a hearty cold-weather meal all in one with its abundance of clams, shrimp, codfish, salmon and green beans transplanted into a deep bowl of buttery, creamy chowder."
I hope the "discount" is counted as in-kind campaign contribution.
One more thing!
"You don't have to compete for a view at Nikola's Restaurant and Bistro, where every seat in the dining room mesmerizes diners with a panoramic view of the Hudson River." (SOUNDS TONY TO ME!!!)
"Sure, the view is nice. With the location at the Newburgh Yacht Club, one would expect it. The dining experience may be enhanced by the view, but as chef/owner and self-proclaimed purist Michael Dederick says, ''It's all about the food.''"

Also, the Newburgh Yacht Club is a fancy-shmancy place. It's one of the oldest in the US, founded in 1885. http://www.burgees.com/OldUSClubs.htm

I've been there twice.
There are a lot of much nicer and more welcome places along the riverfront here that I prefer to give my business to.
I am by no means near the hoity-toity level of SKerry and Krew, but even if I was, I wouldn't give Nikola's the time of day, most especially, after this.
I wouldn't be surprised if he (Michael) opened himself up for free to the rest of the Demoncrat party in this area.
