CIA for Foodies

A stop at the Culinary Institute of America – the CIA for foodies, is essential when travelling Upstate; with four different student-run restaurants where the young creatives work hard for your taste buds’ delight, you couldn’t go wrong if you tried. Except… we did! Geared up for some of their famous apple pie after a late lunch, we rushed into the Apple Pie Bakery Café only to discover they were already sold out! Oh well, our lunch was still utterly delicious, living a sweet aftertaste and fond memories…

and a lovely garden surrounding the Vanderbilt Mansion at Hyde Park, which is considered ”modest” compared to other Vanderbilt Mansions (but no less exquisite, in my view).

I only wish we could have enjoyed the gardens more, but for the scorching afternoon heat.
