Upstate Getaway Giveaway...The Tarrytown Weekend You Should Already Be Planning!
May 1 through 3, one of the best craft fairs in the Northeast takes over the grounds of Lyndhurst Mansion, and we built an entire weekend around it, a historic estate hotel, a waterfront dinner on the Hudson, a bottle of small-batch bourbon made here in the Hudson Valley, and a night out in Dobbs Ferry that does not know when to quit. We are giving the whole thing away to one winner. But whether you enter or not, this is the weekend blueprint worth bookmarking.

You see it in the produce, picked at the right time and not a day early. You taste it in the bread, built from flour that actually means something. You feel it in the meat, raised with intention, processed with care, and brought to market by the same people who stand behind it.
