They don’t make pizzerias like this anymore!

According to one of Ossining’s Museum in the Streets information boards:

The Union Hotel, built in 1800, once stood on this site. It was for many years the official Village “stage house” for the York and Albany turnpike Stage Company. Many important persons stopped at the hotel, including Emperor Napoleon III of France, who dined there serval times on visits to America. Next to the hotel was the J.E. Buckhout Blacksmith Shop, which took care of the needs of the stagecoaches and horses. In 1887 the property was purchased by Dr. Edward B. Sherwood, a dentist, who demolished the hotel and built his grand residence. Dr. Sherwood served the Village as its president, the predecessor to the office of mayor. The Cynthard Building, which presently occupies the site, was built in Renaissance Revival style in 1929.

A Coffeeshop

I was going to have lunch at a restaurant on the Hudson River, but I was very early. To kill some time, I stopped for a coffee at this coffee shop on Main Street, Ossining. It’s called “First Village Coffee“. Now, I’m not much of a coffee connoisseur. If it’s hot, wet and vaguely coffee-tasting that’s usually good enough for me. However, judging by the number of people on line (it was packed) the coffee and food must have been good. Speaking of food, they have a great selection of baked goods. There’s limited seating inside, and more outside on the street. There’s also a small outside area at the rear.

All in all, a very pleasant place.

Meeting Alexander in New York City for dinner – Time for lunch

I was now feeling a little hungry. I noticed that I was passing Parnell’s Pub on the corner of 53rd Street and First Avenue. I’d been there before, but not in a very long time. So, I decided to stop and have some lunch. I resisted the temptation to have something heavy because I would still be walking for a while. I also decide to pass on the beer (gasp!) for the same reason.

I ended up having an omelette, a small salad and some coleslaw. It really hit the spot.

Of course, this was the main reason I stopped at Here Coffee and Beer. I mentioned this Brown Ale in the second post in this series. As I was sitting on the platform at Irvington station, tired and thirsty, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I decided to stop and have one (actually two as it turned out). It was the perfect end to the day.
