BLACK BOOK:

New York State New digs “My husband and I just bought a house in the Hudson Valley. It’s an artistic community, and the lifestyle there is healthier for our three-year-old son than in New York City.” Weeknight dinner “We live in Stone Ridge, and there’s a great restaurant called The Roost—nothing fancy, just good, local home cooking with fresh organic produce.” Sunday stroll “We’re near the Catskills, and I love going for short walks with my family on the trails around Mohonk Mountain House.” Special occasion “The second time I cried over food was at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. You don’t get a menu, just a list of ingredients, and they bring dish after dish built around them.”
