any suggestions on where I can take DH for the weekend for his birthday?

Original post by snwb08

was thinking just a weekend, either upstate or out east. We've never done the LI wineries or really gone upstate.

need ideas, places to stay, restaurants, etc. please!

alternatively i can take him to dinner at a steakhouse in the city, but i've done that every year and i'm running out of steakhouses.

My FH has always talked about Millbrook Vineyards in Hudson Valley. I've never gotten to go myself, but my BM and her husband have gone and loved it. She also highly recommended Mohonk in New Paltz…it looks beautiful. My boss recently recommended the Culinary Institute, as well. Cindy, seems to have covered out east…I’m not that familiar.



love Mohonk!! i went on a winter hike up there and it's gorgeous! i've been wanting to stay there but i talked it up to my co-worker and he took his girlfriend there and said it was nice but the rooms were old and there were no TVs not that i need TV. BUT there is this other place up there that i'm dying to stay at and check out. I wanted to get married there but 1. it was way too $$$$ and 2. DH just laughed at me and was like 'who the eff do we know in westchester??'

Sigh....



We couldn't get a room at Foxwoods or Mohegan a couple of years ago and my friend raved about Mohonk. I couldn't sell it to my FH though because we go upstate all the time to his family's house. It looks so pretty during the winter!

He's funny! This other place looks beautiful. I think I remember a bride on here getting married there.
