Valentines’ Day
There are certainly lots of romantic spots to dine at in Ridgefield, but before you reserve your table for two, visit Muscoot Farms in Katonah, NY for their Old Fashioned Valentine’s Day on February 12 from 1-3pm. Kids will make a Victorian crafted card for someone special. And while you’re there, check out all of the awesome farming programs they offer – from Morning Chores to tapping maple trees for maple syrup! www.muscootfarm.org
Now, on to that table for two! New restaurants in town include Cello, Tre, Cellar Door Bistro, and Tom-Tom’s. And of course there are the tried and true: Luc’s, Bissell House, Terre Sole and so many more! And if there is only time for a cup of coffee there’s new hot spot Tusk and Cup down the hill from Ancona’s in Branchville and the ever-popular Ross’ Bread in Copps Hill Plaza. We are so lucky to have so many choices!
