Eat. Drink. Live.
‘Bridging Art’ was a terrific event — a salon, really — arranged by Peter Kramer and the lohud team. Pete asked artists to “present creations inspired by the Tappan Zee Bridge, its replacement Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge or a bridge as […]
With Sam having a sleepover at Sondra and Leigh’s, we took the opportunity to have a nice meal out! Roost for the win. Smoked fish platter, which has salmon, trout and smoked whitefish salad with all the accoutrements. Lovely. A […]
One of our favorite restaurants in Rockland is Roost. Chef Kevin Reilly is so very talented — his food bursts with flavor, and is always expertly executed. Tonight’s dinner was no exception. Longtime SCF fans may remember our many, many […]
We’ve started a very cool program at lohud.com called Insider. It’s free for subscribers, who just have to activate their membership to turn on all sorts of cool benefits, invitations and discounts. One of these was a Fried Chicken and […]
A terrible fire closed Roost in Sparkill back in 2014. Thank goodness no one was hurt, but insurace woes and more kept it from opening until early 2015. We finally — finally! — got the chance to go back. We […]
A good Saturday starts with pizza. In this case, it’s a pizza with egg, bacon and French fries, and it’s called “The Hangover Pie.” I was not particularly hungover on this occasion, but Samantha and I enjoyed it nonetheless. […]
DVine Bar, yes! Kris and I hit Joe’s new restaurant late-night after seeing Disgraced on Broadway. We got to try a few other dishes. (See my first report on the Small Bites blog here: DVine Bar Sparkill: First Look.) Totally […]
It was only years in the making. Joe Printz, owner of the Grape D’Vine Wine Shop in Sparkill, finally opened the doors to his long awaited restaurant, DVine Bar in Sparkill. It took us a while to get there, but […]

Yes, Roost again! That little corner seat by the bar is a perfect, er, perch, if you don’t mind the pun. With Jessica along for the meal, it was the perfect combination of terrific food and great company. Brussels sprouts […]
After just one visit to Roost, we were eager to get back. Dinner was even better this time around, if that’s possible! Pays d’auge sour: brandy, maple syrup and lemon juice: Like a Sidecar, but with soft edge. Caesar […]
I’m always hoping for a soulful dish to surprise me with a pop of brightness. At Roost in Sparkill, chef-owner Kevin Reilly never fails with either soulfulness or surprise. And his brillant balance of flavor, texture and pop works both […]
A couple of pizzas, a little chicken parm… how can you go wrong? Especially with dining companions such as these: Related posts: Pizza at the Mountain House Mountain House with Grandmom Dinner at Hudson House in Nyack Great Pizza […]
Boo came to spend the weekend at Sour Cherry Farm, and we made supper on Friday night easy by heading out for pizza at the Mountain House. You’ve seen photos of the pizza there already (link here) and good thing, […]
After spending the afternoon at Grandmom’s apartment, the family went out for an early supper: pizza at the Mountain House. The pizza there is as good as you’ll find anywhere. Really thin crust, nice sauce. And the service is friendly. […]
