Small Bites

Ah yes, the Richard Gere restaurant. Chef Brian Lewis will move over from the Café at The Bedford Post to the The Bedford Post proper in October. The inn’s suites will be ready soon afterwards. His expanded (but not too formal) menu will be similar to the cafe’s menu, which means farm-to-table and inspired by the seasons. (There will be both a la carte and tasting menu options.) A comfortable lounge, decorated with couches and darker woods, will be supplied by a 5,000-bottle wine cellar. Oak floors, plaster finishes, more formal moldings and exposed beams will add to the historic charm. Outside enjoy the patio and the strolling gardens. 954 Old Post Road., Bedford 914-234-7800.
