Food and Drink.  

Start your culinary journey at Mill & Main, a farm-to-table restaurant in Accord where seasonal ingredients shine in dishes like roasted beet salad and braised lamb. For morning fuel, their Mill & Main Provisions shop offers barista-crafted coffee, fresh pastries, and pantry staples. Thirsty? Head to Roughcut, a rustic brewery and restaurant in Kerhonkson serving creative pub fare alongside house-brewed beers. For smoky perfection visit Outpost BBQ which delivers tender brisket and tangy sauces in a laid-back setting. In the summer, finish off the day with a sundae at Sleeping Giant and don’t forget to add nuts (they’re amazing)!

The Kerhonkson Diner is a roadside gem dishing out classic diner fare like pancakes and club sandwiches. At Harana Market, savor Filipino comfort food like adobo and lumpia, while Helena’s Pierogies serves pillowy Polish dumplings stuffed with fillings like potato-cheddar, wild mushroom, or seasonal squash. For refined New American dishes or a spectacular weekend brunch with breathtaking hilltop views, visti the restaurant at Innes.

Grab a seat at Flying Goose Tavern, a lively bar that hosts a rotating lineup of food pop-ups nightly—think Korean fried chicken or Guatemalan burritos—paired with local craft beers and cocktails. Their sunny, creekside beer garden, strung with twinkle lights, is a prime spot for summer hangs. Cap the night at Catskill Cocktail Club, where mixologists craft inventive drinks at the retro Starlite Motel.

Fill up on elevated pub classics at Stonehouse Tavern, housed in a historic 1800s stone building, or grab farm-fresh IPAs and a burger at Arrowood Farm Brewery, which also hosts live music events like the indie-focused Woodsist Festival. For orchard vibes, Westwind Orchard pairs wood-fired pizza and Italian fare with crisp cider under the shade of apple trees.
