From May - Nov the Copake Farmers Market is worth a visit on Saturdays for great local organic produce, cheeses, apple cider donuts and dumplings. There’s often some folk music and plenty of space for the kiddies to roam. Also a nice long trail there. 6 min.

A classic local pizza joint which has been here forever is Four Brothers. The Greek Salad and Penne alla Vodka are standout. Good for pick-up pizzas and sandwiches etc.

Not particularly nearby but a good small brewery if you happen to be near there. Simple beer selection with homemade pretzels. Kid and animal friendly.

Zinnia’s Dinette in Craryville is a new place set in a 1950’s diner, but now serves fish and chips and “complicated salads.” Service is a bit slow so if you have antsy kids, maybe start with their ice cream sundaes, which are unnecessarily good. Outdoor space too.
