One of the most luxurious meals I had all last year, kept me warm until spring. 4+ course dinner with drink pairings, all local fare from the catskills, hosted in a beautiful farmhouse of the couple who make all the dishes and beer. Seats fill up quick, I would even say itās worth the drive all the way from the city.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Lit by candlelight, the 18th century house is adorned with wooden chairs, gingham couches, grand fireplaces, and a bar cluttered with glass bottles that catch the flames burning at each table. I felt as though I was invited into someoneās home, and the glasses and plates were recently pulled from their cupboards.
We ordered a radish special, which I topped generously with their freshly whipped butter and flakey sea salt. I finished the meal with a velvety cup of coffee and a super sticky toffee sundae, served in a silver dish with homemade vanilla ice cream and whip.Ā Ā
I want to be there every night, and I feel that its specialness would remain robust in the face of my frequent visits.Ā

Quintessential upstate NY lodging. You can walk to a few different places from there, pretty central.
If youāre willing to drive a little further (40 minutes), we love Scribners Lodge and go a few times a year; incredible atmosphere + Prospect restaurant thatās connected to it is unreal. We also loved Camptown Hotel, a quick 15 minute drive but youāve got Gracieās up the road (our fav luncheonette) and Casa Susanna connected to it for dinner.
We spend a decent time update; let me know if you need any other recs.

This place became my bandās and my comfort spot in Berlin while we were homebasing it there this summer. The Frisch gestrudeltes Softeis aus Brandenburger BĆ¼ffelmilch (with shortbread cookies and olive oil, with or without the lemon curd) is the best ice cream Iāve ever had. My mother in law keeps chasing the dragon in Manhattan trying to find a comparable one. Her search continues.

Something happened over the last year or so and I started really appreciating watches. As a computer musician and dj Iāve felt a more emotional appreciation for precise time-telling, even though my wife tells me Iām ātime-blindā. My daily driver right now is the Vaer D5 Tropic Automatic, I love the tuxedo dial and roulette red date window. Plus it was designed in California and assembled in Arizona just like me!
