The Bocuse Restaurant (French) at the CIA will feature the following menu: Black Truffle Soup V.G.E. (beef broth, vegetables, black truffles, and puff pastry); Magret Duck Breast (pickled cherries, turnip puree, Brussel sprouts, cherry kirsch sauce); and Crème Brûlée and fruit compote. On the way, we will stop in Poughkeepsie at the Walkway over the Hudson. This will give us a chance to walk out on the old railroad bridge 212 feet above the Hudson River for a nice view. If you want, you can ride the bus over the river.
After lunch, we will tour Widerstein, widely regarded as the Hudson Valley's most important example of Victorian architecture. This was the home of the Suckley family. Margaret Suckley had an extraordinarily close relationship with Franklin D. Roosevelt which was always the subject of much interest.
The bus will pick up and drop off at three locations: Glens Falls pick up at the Aviation Mall at 8 am in front of Sears, Saratoga pick up at Exit 15 Park and Ride at 7:15 in front of Dicks Sports, and Albany pick up at Crossgates Commons at 8 at the lower level. The bus should return to Albany by 5:30 pm. The cost of the trip including the meal, transportation, fees, taxes, and tips: $105 for those members who have paid the annual sustaining membership fee and $110 for guests and members who have not paid the annual sustaining membership fee.
