A fall day in Hyde Park

01 · Breakfast
Eveready Diner prints 4184 Route 9 North and says it is open every day from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. The phone on that location page is (845) 229-8100.
02 · Late morning
Springwood, the Roosevelt home, is a guided tour and can sell out early in October. The grounds and the rose garden are free. A weekday morning is the calm visit.
03 · Afternoon
The Vanderbilt Mansion is the second house, a short hop from Springwood. Tour times change with the season, and October is busy. Check before you promise someone the sofa.
04 · Sunday
St. James' Episcopal prints Holy Eucharist at 8:00 am and 10:00 am. We did not find a street address on the pages we read, so we are not inventing one.
