Blue Hill at Stone Barns
One of the hardest reservations to land in New York isn’t even in the city: Dan Barber’s vaunted farm-to-table restaurant, located about 45 minutes north of Manhattan, lives up to its bucolic promise, set in a sprawling refurbished barn on a working farm (a market is held on weekend afternoons). Barber likes to say that a dish begins long before it’s made in the kitchen and his menu is a study in excellent, beautifully grown ingredients. Time your visit to catch sunset before dinner as the sun slips over the fields.
