New World Home Cooking's mantra is "Everyone seeks happiness, We create it."

We are established as a Hudson Valley favorite with 19 years of operation as a café and caterer. We offer a unique concept---Chef Ric Orlando's Global Sustainable Cuisine that combines upscale casual service with fun, vibrant but seriously executed "Clean Food" from around the world. We are the "Casablanca of the Catskills".

We are a large, rambling art barn on a country road just 4 miles from the NY Thruway. We are situated between the hipster town of Saugerties, known for its art scene, Historic lighthouse, Antique boutiques, and festivals and the groovy hamlet of Woodstock, known for its art, music and progressive world view.

More Flavors

When dining out, you must make a commitment—Thai?, Italian?, BBQ, Burgers? Whatever. Using Liz's design expertise and Ric's extraordinary knowledge of Global Cuisine, New World offers a diverse array of the World's most beautiful and assertive flavors, all on one menu, so everyone is happy.

More Excitement

A well cooked dinner is always a standard, but why go out when you can do the same thing at home. At New World, or humming atmosphere, our choice of menu diversity and our skill use of seasoning and spices make each visit stimulating! Each dishes' spiciness is rated on the "RIC-TER SCALE", so you can be as daring, or no so daring as you like.
"We give you a little something that you can't get at home"-Tom Waits
