After all of our winery visits on the Shawangunk Wine Trail, how could we resist stopping here for a bite to eat!?!

Limoncello at the Orange Inn was opened by brothers Luigi and Victor Kapiti in August of 2006.  These brothers renovated what was once a rundown restaurant and inn.  The Orange Inn was a Goshen Landmark, dating back to 1790.  Many historical figures were guests at the inn, especially from the Revolutionary War era.  The inn’s well-known guests ranged from George Washington to James Cagney.

During the Civil War, the Orange Inn was used as a haven for escaped slaves. The building itself is built on the foundation of an old prison!

Located across the street from the World’s oldest harness racetrack –  Goshen’s historic race track – many people would come to the inn (especially to the bar within the inn!) after the races.

We enjoyed a snack of fried calamari served with Thai chili sauce – which I highly recommend if you ever find yourself visiting Limoncello at the Orange Inn! 

Bon appetit!
