While in Hyde Park I had lunch at the Culinary Institute of America. Look at this shiny statue of a sturgeon made out of hundreds of knives, forks, and spoons!

I walked in those doors straight ahead and headed to the Apple Pie café because I didn't have a reservation to dine and the dining rooms were full.

I had tomato soup, a crusty bread roll, and a little apple dessert with a cracker bottom, baked apples, some kind of creamy topping and pistachio glaze. Delicious!

Here is the view looking away from the main building over the Hudson River Valley.
