Locust Grove
After an awe-inspiring lunch at Fishkill, NY's Tanjore Restaurant (992 Main Street) (insanely good and unique Hyderbadi cuisine: check out especially the coconut fish curry with floating curry leaves and a largess of toasted red chilies; the "warm" coleslaw also decked out with a plethora of various chilies; lentil and rice "pancakes" slathered with coconut chutney and our favorite, a tikka masala swapping out the usual dry chicken bits for creamy house made paneer (Indian curd cheese) squares. Also very unexpected was a rich curry of fried potatoes and roasted bell peppers.), Cafe Drake - despite a severe food coma - motored up tacky, obnoxious Rte. 9 to a jewel box Hudson Valley estate and accompanying grounds overlooking the river. . . Locust Grove, the original home of the father of the telegraphic code, Samuel Morse.
