Day trip to visit the New York Historical Society

The Historical Society of Rockland County continues its popular bus trips on Saturday, February 25th with a daytrip to tour The New York Historical Society in Manhattan

Guests will enjoy a private guided tour of the highlights of the museum, followed by luncheon at Caffè Storico (Italian for “historic”) the newest restaurant from the acclaimed restaurateur Stephen Starr, (of Buddakan and Morimoto) which delights with  casual elegance and features dishes inspired by classic Italian cicchetti, or small plates, as well as handmade artisanal pastas. 

Then guests will be invited to view the pathbreaking exhibition:  Revolution! The Atlantic World Reborn.  This is the first exhibition to relate the American, French and Haitian revolutions as a single, global narrative.
