Hyde Park
The 411: This quaint town just north of Poughkeepsie has two claims to fame: FDR and the CIA. The latter (the Culinary Institute of America, not the spy outfit) is the nation’s foremost cooking school, producing many of the Valley’s finest chefs.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt lived in Hyde Park throughout his life, on a sprawling estate called Springwood; his smiling caricature adorns just about everything in town. He had accumulated so much stuff in his years of public service (he was governor of New York before becoming president), that he decided to turn his estate into what became the first presidential library.
