These musicians are truly outstanding and a welcome addition to the great performers who have been appearing here at Harvest-on-Hudson, you can visit Teri Lamar on line to see where the band is appearing next.
 The Lounge at Harvest
 Who would’ve guessed that some of the hottest restaurant seats Westchester has to offer are in the Cellar? WINE cellars of course. In the past few years, a handful of the Hudson Valley Restaurants have turned working wine cellars into exclusive dining spaces.
The wine cellar at Tombolino is an oenophile’s dream with more than 7,000 bottles from around the world. We had a gourmet meal and were able to do our own pairing by choosing from the “by the glass list”. Visit Tombolino’s website and click on “wine list” to see what is available by the glass. Tombolino is located in Yonkers at 356 Kimball Avenue, Call 914.237.1266 or use Open Table to reserve on line.
We had the five course dinner “with wine” for $39 that translates approximately to $49 with tax and tip. Out of the fourteen participants nine were new members, including Lea and family pictured below who own/runa bed and breakfast in Windham, NY. In the background you can see Pietro Siciliano, the chef owner who came to greet us and make sure everything was to our liking. Read all of the comments from those who joined us on Thursday.
 Lea and Family were our special guests. The restaurant proudly displays more then 500 brands of wine mostly from Italy, California, and France, Tombolino for the year 2005 to 2008 is the recipient of Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence.

Seasonal food selections may be the best secret ingredient for your palate and for your health Whether you're eating out or cooking at home with farm-to-market products, and organic when possible the selection of seasonal ingredients gives you fragrant and tasty results. Using recipes adapted around the best seasonal ingredients is the basis of eating healthy, locally grown produce is also a great choice.
Organic food is the healthier option but the distance it travels to reach the local market should be an important consideration because extensive transportation could lead to molds, especially in high-moisture foods and vegetables.
