The modern Mecca for farm-to-table cooking in the US and definitely worth a pilgrimage. The tasting menu courses will range from extremely creative to exquisitely simple. The food is spectacular, but to experience the full scope of what is happening here, plan to spend the day touring the farm as well. The restaurant works very closely with the Stone Barns Center and the results of their collaborations are delicious and fascinating. The price tag on dinner here is pretty steep, but even a day trip out to Stone Barns is worth it, and you can you can also enjoy sandwiches, coffee and pastries, at Blue Hill's cafe. www.bluehillfarm.com
