The beers are brewed on sight and are extremely crisp and flavorful. Hang out at the bar or in the tap room, or outside by the fire pit. They have a good small bites menu that goes well with their handcrafted beers. It's a bit confusing that they go by the name Woodstock when their location is actually right in Phoenicia, but with beer this good, who cares? Plus , as they say, not even Woodstock happened in Woodstock!

This brewery and tap room is about a half hour away, but a very scenic one. The location is idyllic, and the hand crafted beers are crisp and refreshing! A great, off the beaten path spot!

While also a pretty good Mexican/American restaurant with a lively scene, especially in good weather on their front patio and rear deck, this gets my vote for the best local bar scene on Phoenicia's main drag. If you want to experience some real local flavor, go sit at the bar and listen to talk about bears and politics. You'll find good food here too, and the drinks are nice pours.

Fabulous bar with food in an old printing press house lovingly restored. The old school detail is all there, along with the owners 1500 or so vinyl LPs. Always something good on the A+ sound system. Live bands most weekend nights too, and a happy hour during the week. A fun scene. If you happen meet the owner Joe, please drop my name and that you are my guests, I am his realtor and so proud of his success in creating a wonderful community hub.

This is an iconic spot in Woodstock, right in the center of town. On the weekends in the afternoon you will often find live music here in good weather. But it's usually got some colorful characters in its midst. If you're into it, there is a drum circle that meets there every Sunday afternoon.

It is really hard to describe this place. I consider it sort of the Stonehenge of the Catskills. It is a stone park of sorts and was built by one visionary man over the course of many years. It is terribly hard to find words to do this place justice, but Google it and trust me that it is well worth the 30 minute or so drive!

Take a scenic drive on this close-by road and check out the many beautiful old cabins and lodge style homes tucked in between the newer ones. The creek runs along the entire length of the road, for about five miles, at which point it dead ends at a camp ground and a few good hiking trail heads.

The half mile trail to the Lighthouse is stunning, full of marshy views of the Hudson. Then when you get out to the beautifully preserved old brick Lighthouse, more surprises await you. You can swim off the dock in good weather, or just sit on picnic tables, eat, drink, hang, daydream all while watching the most fabulous views of the water. Take some wine and a picnic.

One of my favorite places for a walk or bike ride. This is part of the reservoir system that feeds the New York City water supply. Though man made, the bodies of water are huge and beautiful, framed by beautiful tall peaks.

A few times a year, I love to drive down to Mohonk, where you can buy a day pass that will get you a wonderful meal and use of the beautiful grounds for hiking, snow shoeing, and so much more.

This off-the-grid hike is on the other side of Belleayre Mountain, and one of my favorites. Moderate in grade, the whole thing takes just a few hours and is filled with surprises, and endless waterfalls. The drive there is also beautiful, and the highlight is an old covered bridge just before the turn to the Hollow!

Best supermarket in the area. Make a stop on your way up. Produce department is spectacular. So is the bakery.
Little known fact - they will deliver! Offer to tip extra and they will even grab your pizza from Brio’s for you! Call and ask for Declan and say that Amy sent you.

This is one of the best book stores in the Catskills. It is owned by a couple who put a great amount of care and love into their business. They book wonderful readings by local, national and international authors and provide a real hub for the writers in our community. Excellent selection by local authors.

This weekend flea market runs from Spring-Fall and is great fun! It brings out antique dealers, food purveyors, and all kinds of other good stuff. A fun local scene too, thoroughly enjoyable.

FUDGE. Yes, home made fudge. Plus firewood, souvenirs, area maps, hiking gear, all kinds of clothing and so much more. One of the most charming and also utilitarian shops in town. Oh, and did I mention the FUDGE???

A great spot for antiquing. The bulk of the space is devoted to booths for individual local antique dealers, who scout around the area so you don't have to! You never know what you will find here. My beloved vintage black leather Coach bag came from the Barn!

The finest book store in the Catsklls perhaps. This is a combination book store, craft beer bar, and coffee house, and it is housed in a beautiful old Dutch stone house in Kingston's historic Uptown district. Come hang with all the recent NYC emigres who now call Kingston home, The store often has live music, readings, and other special events.

This is a hard place to describe, but if you are into old cars and cool furniture, it is not to be missed. The owner Steve likes to take old cars and repurpose them into genius works of art . He is also a master woodworker and makes outstanding pieces of wooden furniture. A neat and unique place.

My favorite wine store in the Catskills. If you are driving up from the city on a Friday night, make sure to stop at their weekly wine and cheese tasting! But whatever day you stop in, you can expect personalized service and the best prices around.
