A delightful meal at HH in Nyack. Here’s my squad: A lovely gnudi with short rib. Delicious! Mushroom soup. Also lovely. And an enormous pork chop, which we shared. All super. The 411 on Hudson House.
Just a few photos, this year, of one of the annual events that make living here so much fun.

A walk downtown, to the library and with a stop at Hickory Dickory Dock, the most Christmas-y store ever.
Sam wrote her Christmas list for Santa, and we walked downtown to the post office to mail it. Then did a little window shopping. At night, oysters and champagne and an exciting round of Clue.

A lovely spring day at the market. Young greens from Blooming Hill. Larchmont Charcuterie, how I love thee. Hello tulips! If only! Glad the market is back outdoors again!

On this snowy day in Nyack, Sam and I walked down to the library to check out a book, hit Didier for a macaron, and then snuggled in front of the fire to watch a movie. A perfect Saturday.
