New Chef & Fall Excursions at Richard Gere's Bedford Post Inn

Filed under: Dining, Luxury Travel & Hotels, Celebrity Design

The Bedford Post Inn, actor Richard Gere's perfectly restored eighteenth-century country inn (above) located an hour outside New York City near the actor's Westchester estate, has a new chef and some special offers to welcome the fall season. Situated on 14 acres, the bucolic property is home to an exquisite eight-room luxury inn featuring marble baths, fireplaces and Frette linens, two restaurants and a yoga studio. Gere and wife Carey Lowell recently hired Jeremy MacMillan, formerly of A Voce Columbus and A Voce Madison in Manhattan, as the new chef at the Inn, where he will emphasize high-quality seasonal local ingredients at both its restaurants.

MacMillan will offer classic seasonal country cuisine at The Barn, the more casual of the Inn's two eateries, and hearty Mediterranean-influenced American fare at The Farmhouse. To celebrate the season the Inn is offering a number of different packages combining overnight stays with various dining options and yoga instruction, with rates ranging from $295 per night for a basic bed and breakfast experience to $630 per night for the Inn's King Deluxe room with a terrace, breakfast at The Barn, the Chef's Tasting Menu at the Farmhouse and a yoga class for two guests.

Filed under: Dining

It seems that sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa won't rest until there is a Nobu in every major hotspot. The latest Nobu is at Atlantis, Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The first Caribbean Nobu has a bit of a Bahamian flavor with Conch Cevice, Lobster Ceviche and Nobu Style Cracked Conch joining Nobu's typical Japanese fare. The design of the restaurant includes an open sushi bar and a sake cellar. The sake cellar is a twelve-person dining area located inside a domed tower lined with sake bottles and windows providing marina views.
