******************************************************************************
For our HOLIDAY TRIP we return to a favorite spot -- the Holiday Train Show of the N. Y. Botanical Garden inside their huge greenhouse/conservatory -- The model trains run between exotic plants and past more than 100 NY Landmark buildings -- all made exclusively of plant parts like berries, leaves and seeds.
We ride Metro-North's Harlem Line to the Garden. After our visit there we reboard the train and ride north to Valhalla. Our lunch is in the VALHALLA CROSSING RESTAURANT located in the historic Valhalla Station. Our luncheon choices are either Chateau Bistro Sliced Steak or Chicken Madeira prepared with Mozzarella Cheeses and roasted mushrooms. A house salad, mashed potatoes, veggies, dessert and unlimited soda, tea or coffee complete the repast. Alcoholic drinks are on your own, of course.
ONE SPECIAL NOTE: A certain amount of walking, some uphill, is required at the Garden. Approx. 3 city blocks in each direction.
