History
Castor and Pollux restores the mystery, awe, and delight of the early tourists who braved Yosemite, way before there was fast food. We provide field trips for grown ups. We'll guide you into the wild on stimulating hikes to a suitably beautiful vantage, then cater a three-course picnic lunch. We're local, our food is local, and we choose the best regional products of the season. We emulate those who followed in Theodore Roosevelt's footsteps through Yellowstone one hundred years ago. We provide an escape from the city to fresh air and the calming nature of the outdoors. Our mission is to give you a break from the stress of the city--but we combine it with sophisticated, open-air dining. All of us at Castor and Pollux are immersed in the high-end restaurant industry and over the years we ourselves have escaped to hike and explore what surrounds New York, bringing with us exceptional treats to eat along the way. Let us create these experiences for you.
Specialties
Castor + Pollux provides daycations, taking you away from New York City. Our excursions range from day hikes in the nearby wilderness featuring a catered three-course picnic lunch and local wine pairing, to meals served at regional farms, to tours of wineries in the Hudson Valley and on Long Island. All of our events rotate with the seasons, we offer service year round. Bring old friends, meet new ones, and leave the driving to us.
