<\/p>\nSome towns are known for the historic figures that were born there, others are famous for a body of water, or maybe even a concert venue. In one small Hudson Valley town it could be argued it’s their diner that makes them famous.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend I took the beautiful ride from the Capital Region, south on NY-32, carving my way through the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains until I arrived at the\u00a0Phoenicia Diner, known for it’s food, filming location, and famous celebrities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Phoenicia Diner,\u00a0along\u00a0SR-28 in Phoenicia, NY, has been through it all. The building itself was built downstate in the 1960’s, moved to it’s current location in the 1980’s, survived Hurricane Irene and rebuilt in 2012.<\/p>\n
The Phoenicia Diner is an oasis after driving many miles without passing gas stations or restaurants. The building and the mountain setting makes it perfect for movies or television. No wonder the Apple TV+ series ‘Severance’ chose to film at this location.<\/p>\n

Severance is an Emmy Award winning series directed by Ben Stiller. This thriller series stars Adam Scott, Britt Lower and Patricia Arquette on Apple TV+.\u00a0In this series, the Phoenicia Diner is called Pip’s Bar & Grille.<\/p>\n
As for the food, I got the\u00a0Full Phoenicia Breakfast with\u00a0two eggs, sausage, bacon, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, phoenician potatoes, and toast. Forget the celebrities, the food is the reason I will return.<\/p>\n
