Picture taken in a Gourmet Grogshop (Otherwise known as the Birdsall Inn) in Peekskill on the Hudson River. Peekskill is a 350 year old town that served as a very important shipping center between New Amsterdam and Albany before the American Revolution. George Washington visited this town on several occasions and Abraham Lincoln gave a campaign speech here in 1860 just before the outbreak of the Civil War. Birdsall serves dozens and dozens of domestic microbrew beers and quite a few European Beers as well. In the photo you can see the "tail end" of a "flight" (sampler) of beers plus a pint of a Pilsner brewed in Brooklyn, NY. On the plate is a good old American Hamburger made from locally raised beef fed organic grains with bacon and goat cheese. On the side are condiments made in the restaurant that are spicy, tangy and very flavorful. The "chips" are perfectly done and flavored with a secret spice combination known only to the Chef in the kitchen. Lunch was with my lovely wife, Karen, daughter Kyla (who was born in Peekskill), and her boyfriend Chris. After lunch we went down to the river and took a walk along the waterfront. Most delightful. It was a good day.
