Dining Kitchen in New York

21 Cozy Breakfast Nook Ideas For A Morning Sanctuary

The blue Formica high enhances the denim-toned cushions. Keep to the room's open and ethereal feel by sliding a few small pedestal tables as much as a sofa or constructed-in banquette. Stick with crisp whites throughout, sprinkling in a number of colourful accents for a fun contrast.

At the tip of this kitchen, a tiny banquette and a few chairs are tucked beneath the window. This sliver of house allows dining for no less than four folks, which the kitchen lacked earlier than this custom bench was added. Plus, the breakfast nook opens as much as present further storage to the small space.

If your loved ones loves video games, some extra storage space for boards, cards, pieces, and dice could be good. If it’s only for eating, plan to have loads of house for intestine-busting brunches. If there aren’t walls or windows surrounding your breakfast nook on at least three of its sides, then it gained’t be as cozy, as cool, or as comfortable as you’d like it to be. A gorgeous rug, patterned or shaggy or rounded type to match your table, could make your kitchen corner stand out. It additionally distinguishes the small cosy eating house from the remainder of the room.

It's simple to turn a window seat right into a breakfast nook—just add a desk! While the chairs are optionally available, they come in handy when guests arrive. Plush pillows along the window seat flip this breakfast nook into a quaint alcove. Think vertically to incorporate storage right into a breakfast nook. Here, plate racks display dishware and serving items, whereas chopping boards grasp from a easy peg rail. A wheeled desk and lightweight chairs are straightforward to move to entry the storage areas or to accommodate heavy visitors within the kitchen.

A close by china hutch stores overflow from the kitchen, corresponding to sometimes used linens and dishes. Consider borrowing square footage from spaces adjoining to your kitchen to create a new breakfast nook. A separate eating area gives diners a spot to take a seat out of the cook dinner's method. This banquette is the proper place to add further storage to the kitchen, whether or not through hidden compartments or with open shelves mounted above. To unite your kitchen with an adjoining eating nook, use related decor parts in both spaces, but additionally consider remedies to make every area unique.

From the oversized drum pendant to the cheerful threes and corresponding wall artwork, it's chic however approachable. Designed by Tiffany Brooks for the House Beautiful 202o Whole Home, this nook carves out a spot for guests to eat in their very own little apartment inside the larger home. Pink upholstery on the banquette ties in nicely with the window therapies and accents throughout, like the chair cushions.

They keep every thing grounded so you’re not overwhelmed by color and sample. To create this vintage-impressed breakfast nook, Marie of @this.expensive.casa worked with a cupboard firm to design the storage benches. For the top, butcher block wooden was reduce and stained to fit the cupboards. A small ornate pedestal table and coordinating blue pillows present classic and complicated ending touches. A sleek white table, a dainty chandelier, and pretty materials rework a slender breakfast nook into an intimate gathering spot. The beaded board on the wall of this breakfast nook links it to the adjoining kitchen.

If you’re working with a tiny house for your breakfast nook, all you need is a tulip table and two or three chairs, like this example from @sweet_domicile. Just a few well-chosen items of furnishings tucked right into a corner, and a wonderful breakfast nook is born. The artistic mixture of a freestanding storage bench and two dining chairs provide seating and smart storage with out taking over an excessive amount of space. Because a breakfast nook is normally a small area, it’s the right chance to go daring along with your décor. In this space by @kimscodrointeriors, the contrasting patterns in the window cornices and banquette are unexpected and provides the area an extra pop of playfulness. The fun decisions proceed with the colorful artwork and oversized trendy light fixture.

The patterns on the seat cushions and rug add type to the room. A black pendant mild contrasts with the breakfast nook's white desk and chairs. These easy details complement each other and create a cohesive look.

Turn restricted, awkward areas right into a simple and efficient a part of the house. Fit two chairs and square table into a corner or tuck in an L-formed sofa. Make use of a hutch dresser or those drawers beneath constructed-in banquettes as a breakfast nook storage for utensils, much less-used linens and cookware.

If your nook is by a window or will get a lot of daylight, you will not have to worry about the dark tones dulling your space. In this contemporary and complicated breakfast nook designed by Arent & Pyke, the black and white summary art brings depth to the white walls. If you by no means met a stripe you didn't like, add them into your breakfast nook with upholstered chairs. While we love a formal eating room, it can typically feel too fancy for everyday use—or like too much of a to-do for an easier meal.

Pull out one of the colours — mustard yellow, for example — for the accent chairs and overhead light. Corner banquettes provide ample seating, particularly when further dining chairs are thrown into the combination. Go for one made out of a sturdy materials, like tufted leather-based, to ensure that it can face up to inevitable spills and scratches. White is the extra generally used hue, however that doesn’t mean the area needs to seem like a psych ward. Pops and swaths of a specific pattern do superior to interrupt up the paint.

Even kitchens with massive islands can profit from a bit more countertop area. Whether it's for cooking and meals prep, serving, and even extra seating, breakfast nooks create more available choices for you and add space to the kitchen. Plus, it frees up other areas so you'll be able to add more storage to your kitchen design. Mix darkish green and brown to make a white kitchen really feel each cool and earthy.

Go silky for a romantic ambiance or lacy and textured for a vintage feel. Opt for blinds or shades for management over lighting and privacy for a cozier and more comforting area. Crosby Studios used glass interiors to border a tinny breakfast nook off a gallery kitchen.

Natural elements like the massive beaded chandelier, woven window shades and bamboo chairs cohesively outline the area, as well as usher in that mild and ethereal coastal appeal. Bay windows are a perfect spot for a breakfast nook, particularly when the house will get loads of early-morning light. A built-in bench hugs the angles of this window to provide extra seating. In an oversize breakfast nook like this one, consider a table with leaves, which supplies you the flexibility to regulate your dining lodging based on your seating needs.

Offering

(Part 2 of this.)

Renata's eyes opened, and she bolted awake long before her alarm was due to sound. Her room at the inn was still dark with the bluish cast of pre-dawn. She checked the time on her phone--it was half till five in the morning. Squinting around from the contrast of her phone's screen, she cast the blankets off herself and padded out of bed.

Her body was sore and her sleep had been restless; her dreams had been stirred with images of fanged horses and shape-changing beings made of water. The events of the previous day came back to her in a rush--she hurried to dress and ready herself so she could stop by the local butcher as soon as the doors opened.

Ren purchased a hearty breakfast on her way out of the inn and wolfed it down with haste. She shouldered her belongings, ever thankful that she always traveled light, and made for the town's butcher.

The shop was blessedly open as early as five in the summer, likely so customers could stop by in the mornings to avoid the heat of the day.

She was the only visitor in the shop at this hour. The man working the counter gave her an odd look when she ordered an entire rack of prime rib to herself, but fulfilled her order nonetheless. Ren left the shop about seven kilograms heavier with meat, albeit with sufficiently fewer shillings.

Afterwards, she lugged her haul over to the stables to pick out another mount to rent. She was greeted by one of the same barn hands from the previous day. The tired-eyed lass took one look at the packs Ren was carrying and suggested she ride one of their North Swedish horses.

Renata took the girl's advice--she would need a sturdier mount to pack everything out for the day. She stood around in the center aisleway, recognizing the bay Standardbred from yesterday and giving his nose a pat as she waited for the girl to fetch one of the North Swedes. The lass eventually brought forth a stout looking mare with a hide darker than a moonless night, and Renata voiced her approval.

Today, Ren allowed the stable hand to help her tack up and secure her packs. She made light conversation this time, but still remained vague about exactly where she was headed. She also remembered to request a spare halter, stating that she'd like to tie the horse to graze since she planned to eat lunch while out on the trail. The girl nodded, lending her a halter and lead and layering it on under the bridle as she tacked the mare up.

Thankfully, it was still early morning when Ren led the mare out to the blocks. This horse, while sturdier, would travel at a slower pace, and Renata wanted to reach the kelpie's lake well before dark. She mounted up, double checking the security of her saddlebags, and then cued the mare into a steady walk.

They left town just as the sun was beginning to rise; the morning chill stung at Renata's skin, and steam curled from the mare's muzzle.

The roads seemed longer at the Swedish mare's slower pace, but the horse was dependable and well-trained, so Ren felt she couldn't complain. Still, they reached the trailhead to the lake at roughly the same time as the day prior.

The girl opted to leave her horse tethered somewhere well away from the banks this time, rather than riding all the way down to the lakeside as she'd done with the bay. She found a small meadow, just off the trail and a decent distance uphill from the water itself. Dismounting, Ren removed the dark mare's bridle, noting that the halter underneath was one of the cleverly designed breakaway types.

Good, she thought. That meant the mare could pull free to escape if needed, and Ren figured such a contingency should be planned for in case the kelpie rejected her offering.

The mare reached her head down to graze almost immediately, stubbornly chomping up mouthfuls of grass at a time. Ren simply looped the lead around the branches of a nearby shrub--the mare seemed content to snack here, and she wasn't too terribly worried about her wandering far from such an abundant source of food.

Fetching the packaged rack of meat from its secured spot behind the saddle, Ren started off down the trail alone towards the lake.

The cut had been sealed securely in typical fashion to prevent blood from leaking, and then bundled neatly in a thick burlap sack. Ren removed it, discarding the packaging into the burlap and noting that this was a particularly bloody cut of meat. Some of it stained the sleeves of her jacket; she cringed, knowing that the stains would be difficult to explain to the people back in town when she returned.

If she ever returned, that was.

Renata pondered her morbid fascination with the occult as she made her way down to the water. It had predated her discovering the gift of visions, although it had certainly grown stronger since. Last Hallow's Eve, she had camped out with a group of girls her age in the Hollow Woods trying to spot a glimpse of the infamous Galloper Thompson. All of the others had been there on a dare; they chattered nervously amongst each other, and some were plainly skeptical. Ren had been there of her own volition, and eventually, she broke away from the rest to hide among the twisted roots of a great tree. While she actually did encounter the headless specter on his hellish mount, she kept the sighting to herself, since she knew no one would ever believe her.

It was likely that nobody would believe her if she tried to explain the source of these local disappearances, as well. She was more than content to keep the secret of the kelpie all to herself.

She looked up from her thoughts, having reached the area where the trail met the banks of the lake. The smothering fog that had permeated the vicinity yesterday was long gone, and visibility was blessedly clear. This immediately made Renata feel more at ease.

She left the burlap bag and the discarded wrappings near the edge of the trail. Scanning the shoreline, she didn't immediately spot the kelpie, but when she did, she stopped walking. Her feet felt leaden; she was unable to move.

The fae was grazing, her face nearly submerged to her eyes, on some kind of aquatic plant a fair distance away from where Ren had seen her last. Sunlight shone on the silver of her hide; it seemed to ripple like the water itself when the kelpie moved.

Ren looked down at the bloody hunk of meat in her arms and willed herself to walk forward again. This was surely enough of an offering to pacify the brook horse, right?

Even though she was yet a long distance away, the kelpie spotted Renata making towards the water, and her head went up. Her ears pricked, and she whinnied again--it was still that same high, haunting key, and it made Ren shudder.

The fae leapt into a gallop. Despite being almost to her knee in water, she seemed to move through it effortlessly, slicing through it like a sportfish on the open sea. She crossed a vast amount of space in eerily little time; Ren had barely made it five paces, and the kelpie was already almost to her. She trotted up out of the water with springy steps, stopping just before the girl and staring at her, head canted, with a pale bluish eye.

Renata offered the ribs to her. Her hands shook violently, and inwardly, she prayed to Aideen that her fear would not offend the brook mare.

The kelpie stretched her neck out, just barely touching her muzzle to the butchered meat.

Renata held perfectly still for a long moment, smelling blood and hearing the ebb of the lake and watching water seep from the kelpie’s mane in endless rivulets.

The girl considered placing the meat on the ground--her arms were growing tired from carrying the weight, after all--but then, the brook horse lunged, and Renata barely stifled a scream.

The Secrets of Forest Park

When I was a kid in OHS (Class of 63) there was a large bronze plaque on the wall near the entrance of the high school building.  What I remember is that all the names on the plaque were also names of streets in what was one called “Forest Park”. For years I have wondered about those names – but this is a secret because the plaque no longer exists. I am still searching for the “Secrets of Forest Park”.

Israel has been my home since 1963. Here I am retired, but still the author of two blogs about touring Israel. One in Hebrew hoshvilim.com and one in English IsraelandYou.com. This post is on the English language blog so that my friends in Ossining will be able to understand me.

I Grew up on Forest Avenue

My childhood home in Ossining was at 23 Forest Avenue. My siblings and I sold the house after our parents passed away and now there are new immigrantes speaking a different language. What a lovely, quiet, clean street. It was a little United Nations. My Father came from Czarist Russia and my Mother immigrated from Canada. Other families on the block came from so many countries and they all got along together very well. Sometimes the mailman (perhaps I should write “mailperson”?) would leave us the Norwegian language paper instead of the Yiddish newspaper. We had a coal bin for the winter. Bread and milk were delivered by van. We had our own brook to play in. Moms would block off the street after a snow fall so that we could ride our sled from the top of Robert Place all the way down to Park Avenue. My home was in walking distance of Roosevelt School. Officer Whellan helped us every day to cross Croton Avenue safely on the way to school and back. The principal, Mr. Carpenter, a copy of President Lincoln before his beard, would hold fire drills and air raid drills just in case the Commies would decide to send us an atomic bomb. The high school was in walking distance too, although the students’ parking lot began to overflow into the teachers’ lot.

The Secret Names of the Streets in Forest Park

Calam Avenue was named after the Calam Farm. Calam Avenue was named after the farmer who originally owned the land -Theodore Mackiness Calam and his wife Maria Auser. In Dale Cemetery there is a mausoleum with the name Calam. The Calams later lived at the corner of Croton Ave and Clinton Ave.

Forest Park: Development from Calam Avenue to Sherwood Avenue ca. 1920

Ferris Place: Ferris Place was named for the William H. Ferris farm that was in the area where the street is located.

Marshall Place: Steven Marshall Sherwood, landowner.

Park Avenue: Street laid out on the boundary line of the Calam and Sherwood properties taken for Forest Park. “Park” is one of the twenty most common street name in the USA. Park is the most popular street name in New York State: there are 451 Park streets in New York State.

Stephen Place: Stephen Place named after Steven Marshall Sherwood, landowner.

Stone Avenue: Stone Avenue named after Sumner A. Stone, New York banker and summer resident.

Ward Place is named after Major General Aaron Ward (July 5, 1790 – March 2, 1867), born in Sing Sing, was District Attorney of Westchester County from 1819 to 1822 and representative in the United States Congress.

It is very interesting to learn the names of the streets in Forest Park, in comparison with Briar Knoll which was also built in the 1920’s: Ramapo, Iroquios, Mohawk, Seneca, Mohegan, and Pocantico. Groups of streets in one area are sometimes named using a particular theme.

The Real Estate Description of my old home

23 Forest Ave, Ossining, NY is a multiple occupancy home  (Duplex (2 units, any combination) that contains 2,280 sq ft and was built in 1920 and last sold for $XXXXXXX. It contains 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.  Nearby schools include Park School, Roosevelt School, Claremont School, Anne M Dorner Middle School and Ossining High School. This area is very walkable — most errands can be accomplished on foot. Transit is available, with a few nearby public transportation options. There is a minimal amount of infrastructure for biking.

Forest Park

The 1920 housing project, between Calam Ave. and Sherwood Ave., was originally called Forest Park. Forest Park (GNIS FID: 2556769) is located at latitude 41.169 and longitude -73.849 in the Village of Ossining, Town of Ossining, Westchester County. The elevation of Forest Park is 299 feet (91 meters) above mean sea level.

Forest Park becomes Sherwood Park

Forest Park became known as Sherwood Park after Sherwood Avenue.

Sherwood Park, Ossining

The signature 1920s homes and broad sweep of Sherwood Ave set the tone for Sherwood Park, an area of quiet streets and sidewalks. Although homes here have various exterior styles including, Tudor, Garrison Colonial, Mediterranean, Craftsman and the occasional bungalow style, they all have the classic 1920s interior features. These include simple but elegant trim, hardwood floors that are often inlaid, fireplaces, sun rooms, as well as stairways and landings with custom oak woodwork.

Arthure J. Jones Park the Centerpiece of Sherwood Park

Ossining’s Arthur J. Jones Park is a centerpiece of the Sherwood Park neighbourhood. It was conceived of as a tribute to an Ossining resident killed in the September 2011 terrorist attacks. Jones’ wife, Carol, came up with the idea to build the park. She held a fundraiser at the former Parise’s Steakhouse collecting $90,000 toward the endeavour. 400 local volunteers built the park over 2 days in 2005. The site, which was officially dedicated parkland in 2006, at first received resistance from neighbours who were concerned that a park would attract “undesirables”. But as it turned out, it’s a really great neighborhood park – a real tribute.”

In 2005, a vacant lot off Park Avenue in Ossining was transformed into an oasis encircled by a wall of rose bushes and dotted with maple trees and teak benches. At the corner of Sherman Place and Park Ave, Arthur Jones Park has a peaceful grassy area with benches and rose bushes, a small basketball court and a playground that’s great for all ages, with fun and challenging climbing features, a tractor for imaginary play, 2 play structures, slides, swings and baby swings.

Street Names in Downtown Ossining

In the United States, most streets are named after numbers, landscapes, trees (a combination of trees and landscapes such as “Oakhill” is used often in residential areas), or the surname of an important individual (in some instances, it is just a commonly held surname such as Smith). The first streets in the village of Ossining were named for several reasons:

The geography of the land:

Westerly Road: The most westerly road along the Hudson River.

Water Street, North Water St. – A street name can also include a direction (the cardinal points east, west, north, south, or the quadrants NW, NE, SW, SE) especially in cities with a grid-numbering system.

Highland Avenue: Was Highland Turnpike – also Albany Post Road

Spring Street (one spring was under my Dad’s butcher market)

Directional names: Many roads in  the northeastern US are given the name of the place to which they lead.

Main Street – [“Main” is one of the twenty most common street name in the USA.] “Main Street”  is a common name for the major street in the middle of a shopping area in the United States.

Central Avenue

Depot Plaza

Aqueduct Street

Church Street [“Church” is one of the twenty two most common street name in the USA.]

Eastern Avenue

Croton Avenue

Van Cortland Avenue was originally named Birney Lane. It was changed in ’59.

Market Street

Broadway – This is the most popular street name in NYC.

The Upper Village of Ossining

The Upper Village was originally farms, and soon became Ossining’s first expansion area as it grew outward from the Old Village downtown near the Hudson River. In the mid 1800s, as some of the wealthy families of Ossining expanded, and since no hilltops with river views remained unbuilt, they built grand homes in the Upper Village.

In the USA many streets are named after famous or distinguished individuals, sometimes people directly associated with the street, usually after their deaths. Naming a street is a sort of  for immortality. Naming a street for a person is very common in many countries, often in the honorand’s birthplace, to commemorate a person who lived or worked in that area or to associate a prominent street in a city after an admired major historical figure even with no specific connection to the locale.

My Family Effort to Name a Street for Capt. Sol Bobrov

Sol (Isaiah Isaac son of Jacob Zvi) Bobrov was born on Oct. 5, 1914. After completing his medical degree Sol moved to Ossining, NY, was married and open a dentist office. In WWII he served in the 169 Infantry. Sol was awarded the ★ Purple Heart. Capt. Bobrov was killed in action (KIA) in the Pacific on June 11, 1943 (age 28). He was buried in the Agudath Achim Cemetery Los Angeles, California.On the grave stone the date of death is March 22, 1945. This may refer to the re-burial when the body was brought back to the USA.

Sol’s parents, who lived in the Bronx, decided to move to California to be near his grave. Sol’s wife move to New York City. His uncle (my father) Abe Cohen, of 23 Forest Ave., endeavoured to have a new street named after him in Ossining. However since the grave was not in Ossining and his parents had moved to the west coast and his wife had moved to NYC, the Village of Ossining did not agree to name a new street after him. Now only the Ossining Historical Museum remembers him. 

Capt. Sol Bobrov should not be confused with another cousin also Sol A. Bobrov.

The Ossining Historical Museum shows a photo of Sol Bobrov, a local Ossining resident and dentist, who was killed in action in the Pacific in WWII. Sol was a cousin of mine.

Village of Ossining

Early 17th century Dutch maps of the Hudson River Valley show an Indian village, whose inhabitants were part of the Mohegan Tribe, named “Sint Sinck.” That phrase, when translated, means “stone upon stone” and refers to the extensive beds of limestone found in the southern part of the village.

In 1813, the village of Sing Sing was incorporated – the first incorporated village in Westchester County to be state chartered. In the early 1800s, the Old Village of Ossining was the shipping, commercial, and industrial hub for Northern Westchester. Captains of ships, commerce, and industry built homes with the finest river views on the higher elevations of Ossining and built many of the surrounding homes for associates and employees.

In 1838 Benjamin Brandreth built a manufacturing facility for his Vegetable Universal Pills which became one of the most successful patent medicines in the United States. Brandreth’s business became very successful and his firm was at one point the nation’s leading proprietary advertiser. Brandreth became President of the village for many years.

In 1845, the New York State Legislature created a new town out of the northern part of what had been the Town of Mount Pleasant. A local Indian authority suggested the town be named Ossinsing, a different form of the name Sing Sing. One year later the last “s” was removed for ease in pronunciation. In 1881, the town considered changing its name to “Garfield Plains” to honor the recently assassinated President of the United States, James Garfield, but dropped the idea after the much larger city of White Plains in southern Westchester County objected.

Until 1901, the village was known as Sing Sing. It changed its name to avoid the stigma of association with Sing Sing Correctional Facility, which is still Ossining’s largest employer.

In seasons 1–3 of AMC’s TV series Mad Men, Ossining is home to lead character Don Draper and his family. It remains the home of his ex-wife, Betty, and their children through much of season 4, until they move to Rye

The Village of Ossining had a population of 26,162 as of July 1, 2019. Ossining ranks in the upper quartile for Population Density and Diversity Index. The formal boundaries for the Village of Ossining encompass a land area of 3.17 sq. miles and a water area of 3.28 sq. miles.

Alternate unofficial names for Ossining: Hunters Landing, Mount Pleasant, Sing Sing.

Town of Ossining

Frederick Philipse bought the area which presently constitutes the Town of Ossining from the Sint Sinck Indians in 1685. The Sint Sinck are members of the Wappinger Confederacy who inhabited the land east of Hudson River between what is now Tarrytown and Croton. His Manor extended from Spuyten Duyvil Creek on the border between present day Manhattan and the Bronx to the Croton River.

The land was leased to tenant farmers of Dutch, French, and English origin.

The last Lord of the Manor, Frederick III, was a Loyalist in the American Revolutionary War who fled to England, so the State of New York confiscated the manor in 1779. Many of the farms were sold to the tenant farmers who had work them, especially those who had supported the American cause.

The Town of Ossining is a town located along the Hudson River in Westchester County, New York, United States. The population was 37,674 in the 2010 census. It contains two villages, the Village of Ossining and part of Briarcliff Manor, the rest of which is located in the Town of Mount Pleasant.

Street Names in my New Home Town in Israel

The street we live on is called “Gan Or Street“. This name also has a story. When we move to Hoshaya there were no street names or numbers – just post office boxes.  The citizens of the Village of Hoshaya decided to vote for street names and called for suggestions to name the name-less streets in the community. Among the losing suggestions were names of trees, flowers and my ballot (names of heroic Jewish women such as: Anne Frank, Bruriah, Chana, Deborah, Esther, Golda Meir, etc.). Finally the wining decision was  to name each street for one of the communities in Gush Katif bloc of 17 Israeli settlements in the southern Gaza strip. Their communities were demolished as part of Israel’s unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip in August 2005. All the streets in Hoshaya are named after the former Israeli settlements in Gush Katif: Gan Or, Morag, Shirat Hayam, Pe’at Sadeh, Dugit, Katif, Bedolah, Gadid, Ganei Tal, Elei Sinai.

Father’s Day Gift Guide

Does your dad have it all? Not to worry. We have scouted Greenville’s best picks for showing Dad just how much you love him. We’ve got finds for all types of fathers! No matter how unique, you can find dad a sirsee that is spot on and thoughtful while supporting local.

The Classic Dad

Don’t get us wrong, classic most certainly does not mean boring! This dad appreciates the tried and true, and will probably be heading out for a round of golf after family time is finished. These gifts will mesh seamlessly into his closet (and bar).

Southern Tide has everything for the perfect Father’s Day outfit, our picks would be classic khaki shorts and the Intercoastal Performance Shirt, paired with a stylish belt. The Intercoastal Shirt is your everyday button down kicked up a notch, with SPF and quick dry fabric, making it easy when he’s on the go. Dad’s stationery needs are covered at Paisley & Paper, with custom and ready made options available. P Squared carries the full range of Corkcicle products, and for the classic dad, we think the Chillsner is the way to go.

After gifts, head on over to Larkin’s Sawmill for a Father’s Day buffet. They’ll have the US Open playing, and plenty for the kids to do. Click Here for tickets!

The Foodie Father

Finding the perfect gift for your kitchen and grill master can be tricky business, especially if you feel he already has it all. These items will easily fit in with his everyday arsenal.

Paisley & Paper can handle a whole range of custom gifts for dad, and our picks are the Maple Leaf Engraved Butcher Block and Oyster Shucking Knife. For a sweet pick me up, grab a few boxes of Sugarfina gummies, also from Paisley & Paper. Our favorites are Tito’s Mule and Bourbon flavored bears! A Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge from P Squared is perfectly paired with summer nights and a cigar.

Even though this foodie dad may want to make the holiday meal, treat him to Hall’s Chophouse instead. He can let the chefs know exactly how he’d like that infamous Brunch Burger cooked.

The Adventurous Leading Man

This is for the dad who is down to do anything and go anywhere on a moments notice. Make sure he is ready for his next adventure!

It’s officially time for dad to replace and upgrade the duffle he’s been using since before the children were born! Our pick is this sleek and light Longchamp Spinner and Dopp kit from Pink Bee West End and leather luggage tag from P Squared. Fill the spinner with easy travel picks: Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines swim trunks from Pink Bee and a Ball Cap from Southern Tide will take him from the beach to the bar seamlessly. In the Dopp kit, throw in P Squared’s starter kit of “You Dirty Dog” products from Owen & Fred and a handy Sterling Brooke fish multitool from Paisley & Paper.

Don’t play it safe for brunch with this Dad. Take him to the place he’s been dying to try... The Anchorage in West Greenville. From house made churros and ricotta pancakes to coffee based cocktails, there is nothing typical about this meal. Click here to make your reservations!
