Shortlists

Upstate New York

Recommendations

Saunderskill Farm
Accord, NY

“To call this Schoonmaker Family spot our local farm stand would be to sell them way short. Our daily morning ritual isn’t complete without stopping there to get our morning coffee and the best just out of the machine homemade donuts you can find in the area”

Brian Mccarthy

The Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History
Kingston, NY

“Modelling itself after the fabulously popular ‪Tenement Museum on the lower east side of Manhattan, The Reher Center has recently opened in what was the Reher Bakery, a late 19th/early 20th Century bakery which served the ever changing and multi-cultural Kingston community”

Brian Mccarthy

Crown
Kingston, NY

"Located in an old stone house in The Stockade district of Uptown Kingston our friends John Krenek & Jamie Niblock have "opened this really fun and modern take on a classic tavern. Great place to stop by and grab a drink and some nibbles before or after dinner or even after you’ve done all your weekend shopping at the Kingston Farmers Market!”

Brian Mccarthy

Shadowland Stages
Ellenville, NY

“Opened as a Vaudeville and movie house in 1920, this professional theater always has a great seasonal program of contemporary plays and musicals. Currently they are showing the American premiere of a new play called Bang Bang written by John Cleese of Monty Python fame."
