Heading over to West Point NY, what's there cool to see I the area or on the school itself?  Museums?  Places to eat? Idk I'll be there for most of a day.

Go into the museum at West Point plenty of neat things like Patton's pearl handle pistols and other weaponry. Down the road at the Bear Mountain Circle look out at the river that is basically were the chain was across the Hudson to keep the British down river. There is the Bear Mountain Zoo which is nice to walk-thru for a few hours.  Turn around and walk back outside and step onto the Appalachian trail which passes through the park.

You can't tour West Point since 911 unless your on the tour bus the mil museum is cool

Plus one for bear mountain for the chain and the zoo you can go to constitution island

Futher north in new Windsor the containment

Storm king mnt

And West Point foundry in cold spring where the bulk of cannons were made for the north

Besides the museum, they also give guided tours to parts of the Academy.  Don't know if that's everyday, or weekends only though.

if you're not military and don't have a DOD decal on the car, the DOD police will inspect it so leave the heater at home, the dope too.

the parade field and the Chapel are worth seeing(massive pipe organ)

Orange County Choppers shop is on the outskirts of Newburgh if you are into that sort of thing.  Some good eateries along the waterfront in Newburgh as well.  The City of Newburgh itself is a cesspool, stay out of it.

Ivory!!! As the man himself said, pearl is for pimps! (at least in the movie...)

Ivory  Dammit!!

Hey thanks.  Any really nice places for dinner?  Im going with a lady friend so we were thinking about a nicer than average place.  Thoughts?

They have their summer concert series going on. Every other Sunday night, I think. That's nice to do with a lady friend.

Pearl?  I thought only pimps had pearl handles,  weren't his ivory?

I've never eaten there myself, and it's maybe an hour away, give or take, but the Culinary Institute of America has a restaurant attached to the school.  If you do go up that way it's in the same vicinity as the FDR mansion.

The food is good..
The American Bounty Restaurant, is cooked by 1st year students.
Ristorante Caterina de’ Medici, is mid year students
The Bocuse Restaurant, is cooked by last year students.

There is a really cool Japanese restaurant nearby ( just north I think maybe on storm king pky?) I can't remember the name, i'm on I-potatoe and google
Is no google... And they have an authentic wooden building and the landscape is awesome : usual habachi or sit down and a bar
A window seat by the garden might just the ticket
