Blue Hill at Stone Barns

We can’t think of a more “farm-to-table” restaurant than Blue Hill at Stone Barns, where you drive past your dinner on the way to eating it. A meal at Stone Barns involves culinary education, offering thought-provoking food like zucchini sushi and badger flame beets, served by people who likely helped put it into or take it out of the ground. For the full tasting menu experience, you need to prepay and book about one month in advance—expect to spend around $1,000 for a party of two, before drinks. But if you want to get a taste of the farm with a little less time or money on the line, Stone Barns also offers casual lunches in their cafeteria, and preset family-style meals on limited dates, all with advance reservations.
