Make a visit of it
Medieval art and architecture in a reconstructed monastery overlooking the Hudson. The Unicorn Tapestries alone are worth the trip. The herb garden is peaceful in any season. Fort Tryon Park surrounding it is free and stunning, especially in fall.
After: New Leaf (American, $14-24). Inside Fort Tryon Park itself. Outdoor dining surrounded by gardens. Run by a local nonprofit. The setting is the star.
