BRAMBLE HILL

Bovina, New York

A boutique music-and-culinary experience in the Catskills

A plate of grilled vegetables including zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and possibly eggplant, garnished with herbs, on a textured white plate.

Here, flavor is magic—
smoke, sweetness, truffle and flame,
old roots blending
with the wildness of these hills.

A ten-course tasting menu that thoughtfully traces Chef Deanna’s culinary journey—

The evening feels curated yet alive, refined yet a touch untamed — a trace of the Catskills’ lineage mingling with the spirit of a New York City night, and the feeling of stepping into a rare cultural moment.

Live piano performance during an intimate candlelit dinner at Bramble Hill.

Where sound gathers itself before it rises…

In the studio, shadows dance with candle flame,
the piano begins to breathe like a living thing.
The few first notes unravel—
smoke, light, memory—
and the world changes.
