- While only 30 miles north of New York City, Blue Hill at Stone Barns is a culinary experience that feels like it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle. With its close proximity to New York, the Four-Star restaurant offers a perfect opportunity for city-dwellers and suburbanites alike to experience the ambiance of a working farm.
- This Hudson Valley restaurant is a must-taste for every foodie. Tucked in picturesque Pocantico Hills, New York, Blue Hill gathers its ingredients from the surrounding pastures and fields.
- For an unforgettable dining experience, reserve the Private Dining Room overlooking the vegetable field and herb garden that provides the ingredients on your very plate for a party of up to 12 guests.
- At Stone Barns Center for Agriculture, visitors are welcome to roam through the open-air greenhouses, gardens and livestock shelters. If you're wearing comfortable shoes, a stroll makes for a lovely prelude to dinner, not to mention helping you work up an appetite.
- Chef Dan Barber seriously adheres to the farm-to-table philosophy. The menu will change at a moment’s notice depending on what’s in season and being harvested on the adjacent farm.
