Food scene
brewery with excellent food along the wallkill river. Beautiful views of the mountain ridge from inside. Tall ceilings, a ton of open space. I feel very safe here social-distancing-wise. I believe they do takeout as well. They have a large menu. I’m obsessed with their bovarian pretzel with mustard. They also can their tap beer to go.

The best tacos ever. This place is very popular, even among celebrities. We sat across from Uma Thurman a few months before we went into covid lockdown. They are good for sit down and takeout, though sit down is probably best for tacos, since it’s a bit of a drive (no one likes soggy tacos!)

Sunday brunch spot on a golf course in Highfalls. High falls is a nice town to drive through as the waterfalls are massive. Please note they only serve brunch on Sundays.
