I brake for chefs.
…the Culinary Institute of America, that is. Another reason I wanted to visit Hyde Park. Thanks to a friend (Hi, Toni!), who clued me in to the need to make reservations, we were able to enjoy two meals during our three-night stay in Hyde Park. The first night we went to their Italian restaurant, Catarina di Medici; the second night, their farm-to-table restaurant American Bounty. The food in all their restaurants is prepared and served by students. The service left a bit to be desired, but the food, by and large, was delicious. We were especially fortunate to share our meal at American Bounty with our daughter-in-law, who happened to be in New York visiting her father.
The campus itself is beautiful. The main building on campus looks like a brick cathedral, and the grounds are lush and green with an amazing view of the Hudson River.
Oh, the CIA. We still have an old video of one of the shows they used to tape in the program hall and aired on PBS. Glad you enjoyed the experience. In the hall there are photos of all the graduation classes…did you notice the preponderance of one gender?
We missed the photos of the classes. I guess we’ll have to go back! ;o)
We were young and poor on our last visit there so it‘s definitely on the bucket list! Glad to read this.
Oh, Deb, you would love it! Now that you’re retired, you and David should make it a destination.
