Claverack, New York

Lonely stretch of road in Claverack, New York on raw, wintry day in February. In the thick of winter here in Columbia County over 100 miles north of Times Square but a universe away. Was returning to the Miyares Farm from having brunch at the Swoon Restaurant in Hudson, New York.
Had to deal with a somewhat obnoxious waitress but the food was good and I got my revenge leaving a less then charitable tip. Though Hudson is in Columbia County which is full of very friendly country folks, the actual city of Hudson is full of New York City types which feel that being obnoxious is how to be polite. Nevertheless, the choice is Nice and McDonalds or Obnoxious and good , sometimes experimental food but always compelling.
