What a gem of a place to visit to learn so much about early American history in New Jersey. Really loved the intimate exhibit about events unfolding during the Revolutionary War and how the estate was successfully managed and saved by resilient and visionary women of the families. Wonderful gift shop and grounds. I will surely return for the guided tour at the Hermitage.

I love this truly authentic Italian pasticcheria and bakery. The selection of dolci is fantastic, as are their cookies, and varieties of marzipan fruits. I’ve never seen such a display of beautifully shaped marzipan in any pastry shop in my many decades in NYC. The cannolis are outstanding. I also tried the sesame cookies which are wonderful. Really such a delight to shop at this pasticcheria. I will return often.

Really a wonderful café bakery serving all kinds of baked sweet and savory treats, coffees & teas. My Irish scone was delicious and large, not too sweet, just the way I love a scone. There’s ample indoor and outdoor seating, with a lovely backyard with tables and sun umbrellas. I’m sure to return often!

So happy to see this icon of post-modern art space still going strong after so many years. It’s a brilliant idea that its founder, Kyong Park, was able to make happen, along with architect Steven Holl. It really ought to become a NYC historic landmark, as it has contributed so much to the downtown post-modern and current cultural space in art and architecture. Do visit.

A pure joy to have such an exquisite book shop in the Prospect Heights neighborhood. The selection is excellent, a book browser’s paradise. I can’t express my thanks enough to the owners of this bookstore keeping the tradition of antiquarian and used books alive and thriving. Do visit. All COVID-19 measures in place.
