Bar in the rear of an antique shop offering Malaysian plates in a funky space with outdoor seating.
"Plenty of rum palaces across the country are devoted to hauling up the sunken treasures of tiki. BackBar, which consists primarily of a cluster of picnic tables fenced off from the main drag in the sleepy capital of Hudson Valley bohemia, nails the spirit of tiki instead. It's a place where you might burn off a lazy Sunday afternoon discussing politics with a local law-enforcement officer who also happens to be a drag queen (true story) while you order round after round of Southeast Asian food from the chefs Zakary Pelaccio and Kevin Pomplun so that your third Where There's Smoke, There's Fire doesn't put you into a daze too fast. You're hours from the shore but you feel like a beachcomber." [Esquire]
