Heavenly Restaurants

 

BEDFORD POST INN

Bedford Post Dining started in the late fall of 2019, when the award winning team behind Alchemy Consulting took over operations of the restaurants at the Bedford Post Inn. Partners Jason Cott (Director of Operations/Owner) and Roxanne Spruance (Executive Chef/Owner) immediately saw the potential of the property and jumped right in. Taking on hands on approach, they are redesigning all of the restaurants with a focus on local purveyors, ingredient-driven menus, attention to detail, and welcoming hospitality.

The Barn, the casual outlet, with a nod to the south of France, reopened after renovations in February of 2020 to rave reviews. Open for Dinner, Brunch, and Lunch, it quickly became the place to visit. Unfortunately, the opening was short lived as all restaurants in the state were shut down on March 15th due to the pandemic.

The Barn reopened for Curbside Pickup in mid-may, and has fully re-opened for outdoor dining on the patio as of June 9th.

The Terrace is the fully outdoor restaurant, with a menu cooked in the wood burning outdoor kitchen. With both an oven and Asador grill, expect a wide range of small plates, perfectly suited to snack on with a bottle of rosé or a pitcher of a signature cocktail.

The Terrace is slated to open Late Summer 2020.

The Farmhouse will be the piece de resistance of the restaurant group. Aiming for an impeccable experience, Chef Spruance will be offering both a prix-fixe as well as a tasting menu, alongside a hand selected list of wines from our cellar.

The Farmhouse is slated to open Spring 2021.

THE INN AT POUND RIDGE

Chef Jean Georges introduces a casually elegant restaurant ensconced in the picturesque town of Pound Ridge, New York. Here, Jean Georges cultivates a truly seasonal, farm-to-table cuisine, with ingredients sourced from the Hudson Valley and New England, whenever possible. Constructed in 1833 as a residence and serving later as an inn, the building has been painstakingly renovated to preserve as many of the original materials as possible, including four working fireplaces. Thomas Juul-Hansen designed the restaurant’s interior with a modern yet rustic sensibility; zinc and marble accent stone and reclaimed wood. The restaurant’s lighting, artfully conceived by Hervé Descottes, employs paper shades and Edison fixtures to create warmth throughout.

The down-to-earth food and contemporary country feel makes the Inn at Pound Ridge a convivial, family friendly restaurant frequented by neighbors and tourists alike. Stop in for a glass of wine and a pizza, or come out for a special occasion dinner. With two dining rooms, two full bars, and a candle only illuminated wine cellar for private dining, we are equipped to accommodate events of all sizes, from intimate dinner parties to full-scale weddings. Jean Georges welcomes you, to the Inn at Pound Ridge and looks forward to providing you with a thoroughly enjoyable culinary experience.

Local Cafes & Shops I love

                                     

 

                                       


The Reading Room is a bookstore-coffee-baked goods-sweet shop, offering freshly baked items (think croissants, scones, muffins and cookies plus daily rotating specials) and offer a daily choice of specialty sandwiches, soups and salads.
The menu is pre-prepared and easy to take out, but perfectly cultivated with our high end, quality ingredients and classic style you have come to expect. We think the combining of all of the cozy aspects of Little Joe’s — books and toys and gifts and candy for the kiddos — along with the taste palette of the old Reading Room — will offer a little something for everyone.


                     
   


We are nestled in the historic village of Mount Kisco, NY in northern Westchester County. Mount Kisco is an extraordinary village - walkable, diverse, and connected to nature. Check out what the New York Times said about our little town!

Mast Market is an organic market intended for food, family, and community gathering. Designed in collaboration with Mapos, the architecture pays homage to the stables and farmhouses that dot the local landscape with wood slatted carriage doors, a welcoming kitchen island filled with goodies and an open market space clad in ash and pine and filled with homemade goods. You’ll feel like you are at home.

Come visit our new market featuring our entire line of local, organic pantry items, specialty foods and kitchen wares with a beautiful café that looks over our one of a kind open kitchen. You can watch first hand the local grains being milled into flour, organic coffees being roasted in small batches, vinegars being brewed and blended, sourdough breads being baked (onsite coming soon), chocolate being handcrafted, and so much more.

Kitchen tours, classes, workshops, demos and events will be back soon. Sign up for our newsletter for updates.

Eat like your mind depends on it

Until fairly recently, the medical field didn't fully acknowledge the connection between our mental and physical health. Fortunately though, there is now a universally accepted understanding that the two are inextricably linked. There are of course varying ideas on how to treat our bodies for better mental heath, there are a handful of essentials that most experts agree on:
  • Regular Exercise of some sort–including something aerobic (walking, dancing, swimming, yoga, hiking)
  • Healthy Eating/Drinking Habits which includes getting lots of whole foods, needed nutrients, limiting sugar, salt, and processed foods, limiting caffeine and alcohol, staying hydrated, and maintaining an alkaline diet (see below for dietary suggestions)
  • Restful Sleep (check out these tips from the National Sleep Foundation)
  • Adequate Vitamin D (ideally in the form of sunshine), B12, Zinc, and Magnesium
  • Probiotics
  • Omega 3 Fatty acids
  • Spending time in nature (park, woods, anything)
  • Limiting screen time
  • Checking Blood Levels to identify any potential hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiency, food allergies, immune issues, sugar imbalances, or immune disorders as these can all have a huge impact on your mental and emotional health! Download The Mental Health Blood Test Recommendations to ensure you get all the necessary tests.
  


Eating for Mental Wellness

I've compiled some well-researched nutritional suggestions below from sources like Dr. Eva Selhub and Dr. Uma Naidoo of the Harvard Health blog. Of course, always check with a trusted health professional (and use your own experience as a guide) to determine the best nutritional approach for you.  

Eat a 'Clean', Balanced Diet. Studies have shown that compared to a typical "Western" diet (which tends to be high in processed and refined foods, sugars, salt, and dairy), “traditional” diets, like the Mediterranean or Japanese diets (which tend to be high in vegetables, fruits, unprocessed grains, fish and seafood, with modest amounts of lean meats and dairy) there is a decreased risk of depression from between 25% to 35%. 
     
Green juice rules! I've found that a fresh green juice first thing in the morning does wonders for both my energy and mood-especially when I include celery which has greatly helped in reducing my anxiety. You can get a decent, affordable juicer on Amazon and there are any number of good possible combinations (cucumber, kale with a little apple or carrot for sweetness is one of my faves), and organic is always optimal. 
Take Probiotics ('good bacteria') Daily.  95% of your serotonin (the neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep and appetite, mediate moods, and inhibit pain) is produced in your gastrointestinal tract, the production of which is  highly influenced by the billions of “good” bacteria that make up your intestinal microbiome. These bacteria protect the lining of your intestines, provide a barrier against toxins and “bad” bacteria, limit inflammation, improve the absorption of nutrients from your food, and activate neural pathways that travel directly between the gut and the brain. 
Eat Probiotic-Rich Foods: A study in the journal Psychiatry Research suggested a link between probiotic foods like pickles, sauerkraut, and kefir, and a lowering of social anxiety symptoms.
Eat Foods High in Magnesium. Evidence suggest that foods naturally rich in magnesium may decrease anxiety. Examples include leafy greens, such as spinach and Swiss chard, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
Get Your Omega 3's. Numerous studies have indicated a link between the intake of omega-3 fatty acids and a reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Fish like mackerel, salmon, herring, anchovies, oysters, and sardines are all high in Omega 3's but as much fish now contain high levels of mercury, PCBs, dioxins and other environmental contaminants, you may want to consider vegan alternatives such as walnuts, brussel sprouts, hemp, chia or flax seeds, algal (algae) and penilla oil. And of course you can get your Omega 3's in low-mercury fish or vegan supplements as well.  
Eat Mood-Boosting Foods. Foods have the power to spur the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Some of the foods associated with decreased anxiety and improved mood are:  asparagus, avocados, blueberries, turkey, almonds, yogurt, and kale. 
Eat Antioxidant Foods. Anxiety is thought to be correlated with a lower total antioxidant state so it makes sense to add to your diet foods rich in antioxidants like:
  • Beans: Dried small red, Pinto, black, red kidney
  • Fruits: Apples (Gala, Granny Smith, Red Delicious), prunes, sweet cherries, plums, black plums
  • Berries: Blackberries, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries
  • Nuts: Walnuts, pecans
  • Vegetables: Artichokes, kale, spinach, beets, broccoli
    • Spices like turmeric and ginger.

                                         
Stay hydrated. Our brains are made up of 70% water. When we don’t drink enough water, our circulation slows, which results in less oxygen getting to our brain (even a 5% drop in body fluids can decrease your energy levels by as much as 30%). The lack of hydration also triggers areas of the brain that create anxiety and nervousness and can negatively impact the chemical processes in our brain.
