Why It's Good:

Opened in 2000 in the basement of a Greenwich Village townhouse near Washington Square Park, Blue Hill serves American food that celebrates the seasonal produce of New York's lush Hudson Valley. Both Blue Hill and its sister restaurant, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, received Best New Restaurant nominations from the James Beard Foundation. In 2008, Chef Dan Barber received an Outstanding Chef Award nomination from the foundation.

Why It's Green:

Dan Barber and his partners opened their farm at Stone Barns to the public as a place of teaching and inspiration, offering everything from simple garden tours to monthly master classes on topics like greenhouse construction and cooking with Hudson Valley foie gras. The four-season farm has also become a significant supplier for both restaurants. Meats like grass-fed lamb, produce like red kale and zucchini, farm-fresh eggs and pastured poultry – even honey – are produced at Stone Barns, making the food's journey from farm to table at Barber's restaurants shorter and more personal than ever.
