Westchester
County is a food lover’s paradise and boasts a surprising
blend of experiences. It is home to bustling shopping areas,
meandering parkways, forested nature preserves, hiking trails,
historic castles, estates and mansions, and – perhaps most
surprisingly – thriving agricultural enterprises offering
authentic farm experiences. Westchester always puts fresh
and innovative on the menu. For more information on area hotels,
farms, breweries and agricultural experiences within one hour
of New York City, click

Sullivan
County’s breweries, wineries, and distilleries are
the talk of the town! Less than 2 hours from NYC there’s a
strong farm to table and craft beverage industry brewing in
the Catskills. Much to the delight of visitors, there are
16 towns and villages where you can savor a gourmet meal,
or grab a grass fed burger. Before you do, check out the sweet
scene at any of a number of sugar shacks for great homemade
maple syrup. And don’t miss sipping on a hand-crafted Peace
Vodka, a Trout Town Amber Ale, or a Cabernet Franc either.

Discover the Long
Island Craft Beverage Trail. Along the way you’ll
find three dozen wineries for tastings and tours. Breweries
featuring complex blends of hops and flavors blended to frothy
perfection. And local hand-crafted spirits distilled with
local potatoes and water from ancient aquifers. There the
‘catch of the day’ was likely hauled in that morning from
the waters off the Island shores and comes paired with vegetables
from a nearby farm stand. The passion of place is palpable.
Local. Authentic. Delicious. Click
