Situated in one of Westchester\u2019s most exclusive areas, Hastings-on-Hudson, Harvest lies beside a beautiful river and the Palisades. Harvest\u2019s desirable location (closer than the Hamptons) and character (Tuscan-style farmhouse) warrants making the swim from Manhattan to its shoreline. (But we\u2019ll give you alternate <em>public <\/em>transportation directions anyway.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Upon entry, the veranda is full of greenery and oversized wine bottles. The menu offers various Mediterranean delicacies and a taste of France, Spain, Greece, Portugal, and Turkey. You may enjoy your meal by one of the sprawling bay windows and appreciate the high-beamed ceilings, which give the feeling of an authentic log cabin, and less than 40 minutes away from New York City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/photo1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14127  lazyload\" title=\"Seafood dish at Harvest \" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/photo1-300x208.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"243\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14127  lazyload\" title=\"Seafood dish at Harvest \" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/photo1-300x208.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"243\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>From Sashimi to Lobster Ravioli, there is bound to be a meal on the menu to tickle your fancy. In addition to the main courses, there is also an extensive dessert menu ranging from the traditional New York Cheesecake to a more adventurous Tahitian Vanilla Cr\u00e8me Br\u00fbl\u00e9e with Biscotti. As apparent from the eclectic nature of Harvest\u2019s menu, the food does not adhere to a confined selection. You will have a delightful dilemma when faced with the pages of Chef Vincent Barcelona\u2019s plats du jour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Although the atmosphere is sophisticated, Harvest on Hudson is a comfortable and refreshingly non-stuffy place to feast. The tranquil haven of the restaurant, nudged into the side of the riverbanks, and the sheer elegance of the interior architecture and design makes for a perfect city retreat. A family establishment, Harvest on Hudson is unique with its m\u00e9lange of modern-chic vibes and ode to antiquity via an enormous stone fireplace in the dining room. As you take your seat, sunflowers as the centerpiece of each table give you a warm Tuscan welcome. During Christmas it is especially festive, and if you act fast, you may reserve the house for an event of more than 220 guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-55922 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/photo6-350x243.jpg\" alt=\"interior of the harvest on the hudson\" width=\"350\" height=\"243\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-55922 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/photo6-350x243.jpg\" alt=\"interior of the harvest on the hudson\" width=\"350\" height=\"243\" \/><\/noscript>Harvest on the Hudson is renowned for more than its food.
