Stuff near New Hyde Park
 

Everyone-

I'll be up at Hyde Park for the weekend. Arriving Friday, leaving Sunday.

We're having dinner at CIA on Friday.
My GF will be over at CIA for a class on Saturday. I'll have a good chunk of the day off. Looking for a dinner choice.
Sunday we'll do something together.

I think we're staying about 1/2 hour NW of Hyde Park in a B&B. Trying to get the location.

I know around CIA there's the Roosevelt and Vanderbilt estates and likely some other ones that are available to walk around.

Any particular must see's in the area?

Thanks -

Gary

The Roosevelt estate is a good way to spend a major part of your day.

If you are up for it, you can drive about an hour north to Kinderhook to see the Martin Van Buren estate http://www.nps.gov/mava/index.htm

Thanks!

We're staying in High Falls, on the West side of the Hudson, about 20 miles away.

My GF has a class on Saturday, from 930 - 230, so I'll likely spend that time locally. Maybe we'll go further on the way up Friday?

What's the gas situation up there? I should have no issue getting up and back, but with the extra driving, I'm a little concerned. Are the gas issues prevalent closer to the city reaching that far?

^ no issues with gas up here. But I am further north in the Albany area. Thruway rest stops will be crowded. Be sure to fill up in the local ones while you are up here.

Do the walkway across the Hudson if you get a chance.
