Stone Barns Farm

We visited the Stone Barns farm last weekend - just half an hour drive from the city and a complete nature wonderland. We saw cows, pigs, chickens, a deer, rabbits, sheep...it was really amazing. This is the location of the Blue Hill restaurant and they source most of the food for the restaurant from the farm. We didn't eat at the restaurant on this particular trip (jacket required) but we have eaten at their Manhattan restaurant and it was impressive.

High Line Expansion

The High Line, one of our favorite areas of the city, opened the second section of the park about a month ago. It now runs from Gansevoort all the way up to 32nd street. Since opening day the area has been packed. Matt and I miss the early days when there were a lot fewer folks along the path but it is still one of our favorites and is a special place for us - this is where we got engaged!
