After our visit to Knox’s Headquarters (See posts starting with Knox’s Headquarters – Exterior – Front View) we went for lunch on the Hudson River in Garrison’s Landing.

Our restaurant was called Dolly’s and it’s named after the movie “Hello Dolly”, parts of which were filmed here. It’s on the site of a legendary bar and country store called “Guinans”, which is described in Little Chapel on the River: A Pub, a Town and the Search for What Matters Most. The book tells the story of a writer who has to leave her apartment near the World Trade Center in the wake of the 2001 attacks. She ends up in Garrison’s Landing, NY where she befriends the owner (Jim Guinan) of a country store and pub (Guinan’s) on the river, his family and the colorful group of people who frequent the place.

The large building in the background is the US Military Academy at West Point. Here we seen the ferry from West Point South Dock approaching Garrison Yacht Club. This is a private ferry service for West Point staff, Cadets and guests only.
