Westchester County: the Second Day




Tour of Tarrytown brought me to view Washington Irving's Sunnyside, Philipsburg Manor In nearby Sleepy Hollow, Kykuit Visitor Center and Union Church of Pocantico Hills. Time permitted us to go inside the Church to view one Matisse window above the altar and Chagall windows taking up the front and sides.

It was then off to Stone Barns Center that was established by David Rockefeller as a memorial to his wife, Peggy. The center is all about promoting sustainable, community-based food production. There are times that you can take a cooking class but best to get a taste of the food in their restaurant, Blue Hill. About half the food that you eat is grown or raised on the premises. Lunch was somewhere else.
