"A stone manor in Tottenville built around 1680 by an English immigrant that hosted a 1776 peace conference, the site now offers historic ambiance and outdoor recreation. It’s popular for sunset picnics, fishing, and contemplative visits; picnic recommendations include fresh mozzarella, primo sale (sheep’s milk cheese), and homemade caponata, which together evoke Mediterranean memories and provide a calming weekend reset." - AFAR
