Eat. Drink. Live.
A fun Sunday, with a breakfast at Art Cafe, a trip to the farmers market and an afternoon at the pool, where we celebrated Chris’ 50th and played a round of cornhole. We ended with a nightcap on the patio. […]
A lovely Saturday morning on the bike trail. The bridge (bump!). I love these stairs and little bridges people build over the creek bed. We’re so lucky to live where we do. Related posts: A Bike Ride on the […]

After church, we made our way down to The Souk, the farmers market they hold at the Inside Out in Piermont (such a terrific store, by the way; it carries local artwork and makers). Ramps are making their way to […]
The farm’s friend Kris, along with Laura Straus of Piermont Straus gallery, recreated a 1930s Piermont to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the filming of The Purple Rose of Cairo in the village. She hung historic photos from the 30s […]
We hadn’t visited o lar in way, way too long. So after Kris’s opening at Piermont Strauss, we heade over to share some pizza and pasta with Irene. No photos of the folks, today, folks, but we do have the […]
Kris had opened her latest exhibition at Piermont Strauss gallery in Piermont: Festoonology. It is a collection of her nature-inspired ideas, shaped into objects to explore. Holding the magnifying glass up to the flowers opened our eyes to see something […]
Boo and I bike to Piermont as often as we can in summer. But for the past 2 or 3 years, on our first trip, we’ve taken an selfie at the Piermont Depot, the halfway point. I present the 2015 […]
It’s been ages since we’ve been to the Freelance! But we were all dressed up and we couldn’t let our fabulous-ness go to waste, now could we? Irene joined us at the bar for a few bites. A couple of […]
What fun at the the Forests of the Night Opening Masquerade Ball, a fundraising event for Piermont’s Art in the Park! Kris and Laura Strauss of Piermont Strauss Gallery turned the entire gallery into a forest, and we were all players […]

Our second time at 14 & Hudson, a sweet little gastropub in Piermont. Here’s a look. Delishy cocktails: Pork belly over grits with an egg: Not as great as I would have hoped, but still tasty. Flatbread pizza. Nice! Calamari. Fresh […]
A good bike ride this Sundauy morning with Irene! Down to the Piermont Pier and home on the River Road. Just about 10 miles. Check it here on Map My Ride. Good times! Related posts: Annual Selfie: On the […]
Piermont just may have become the restaurant capital of Rockland. Adding to the already excellent list of restaurants there — Xaviars, Freelance, o lar, Sidewalk Bistro and Portofino, just to name a few — is the new 14 and Hudson. […]
Boo and I took a bike ride along the rail trail down to Piermont and back, and vowed to do it at least once every summer from now on. And we also vowed to take a selfie at the Piermont […]
Celebrating Hunna’s birthday at one of our favorite places with two of our favorite people: Boo and Sarah. The pizza, as usual, was outstanding. A wonderful, light, airy crust. Proscuitto and arugual topping: Sarah and Boo! Goat cheese fritters: Fennel […]
A birthday dinner for Marissa and Melanie! The girls finally got a chance to try o lar, and, I think, everyone was duly impressed. Hi there, Maris and Kel! Me and Mel! Pancetta-wrapped figs with tomato jam: Sweet, salty […]
I think — I’m not absolutely certain, but I believe — that this is the first date Greg and I have gone on where we left Sam home with a babysitter. We have gone out and left her with a […]
Piermont celebrated French Independence Day by closing down the street and serving food, selling trinkets and hiring a band. Because nothing says Bastille Day like a a Dead Cover band. There was also, separately, a carnival in Flywheel Park, hosted […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden my bike; I wasn’t allowed to when I was pregnant. And then it was winter. And I had a new baby. So it was lovely to have a maiden voyage Sunday down […]
The polenta with mushrooms and a soft egg was a new one. Not that we needed an excuse. Oh and also, Tom had been raving about the tuna, fresh from the docks at Montauk: Wow. More, including the runny egg, […]
I almost wouldn’t post this meal if it weren’t for the wonderful time we had celebrating Irene’s birthday. I mean. How many times can you go to a restaurant in just one month? Three, I guess. The answer is three. […]
OK. We’ve been twice now. And yes, it’s that good. The shrimp in garlic sauce: We meant to just go to have a quiet dinner for three (with srimp), but when we walked in, we ran into some friends, and […]
Everybody around Nyack and Piermont has been buzzing about O Lar, the new restaurant with the wood-burning oven just north of downtown Piermont. We snuck in early one weeknight and snagged a table, but otherwise, hard to know whether we […]
Before the baby shower, I was registering for a few things. Buttercup & Friends in Piermont didn’t have a registry list, so I took a few photos of things for ideas for people. I thought they were cute enough to […]
We took Grandmom out for an early supper in Piermont, and afterwards, we drove out to the end of the pier to look at the view. Related posts: For Mother’s Day, Grandmom’s Favorite Dishes Dinner at La Condesa in Austin […]
