NewVida is a 2000-acre mountainous preserve close to Whiteface with a heartfelt History as Paleface Ski Mountain, restored beautifully with a Lodge, Restaurant, Craft Bar, Bistro, wellness center with Yoga, Massage, Ayurveda, Reiki and 35+ miles of trails. Our restaurant service takes place on Friday & Saturday nights from 5-9pm in the Great Room of the main lodge at NewVida, where the hustle of the historic Paleface Ski Mountain once took place. The Great Room has 50-ft A-frame ceilings, beautifully restored wood-work, incredible sunsets and views of Whiteface Mountain. This is a warm and inviting gathering place where all are welcome and where you can come to unwind and enjoy good food, drinks, conversation and music. The menu is farm-to-table and changes regularly depending on the theme and what’s in season. We welcome families, have a kids menu, host large parties and have takeout. Reservations are encouraged but walk-ins are also welcome.

 

If you're seeking a more casual experience, our Craft Bar and a billiards room are right next to the restaurant and are open each Thursday through Sunday from 5-10pm. The bar is in a stunning A-frame room with high ceilings, beautiful woodwork and views, a picturesque angular bar made with vintage skis and a huge fireplace. Sit fireside in one of our cozy booths and enjoy creative cocktails along with a wide selection of local beer and wine and a delicious small plates or tapas menu. We have live music every Friday and Saturday night and special events like dancing, paint & sips and performances on Thursdays and Sundays. The billiards room has pool & ping pong tables and a TV nook for sports & movie nights. And starting on December 3rd, we'll start to open at 12pm on Sundays for brunch tapas and drinks. It's the perfect spot to unwind after skiing!
