Yes, Saugerties has a Main Street. No, it’s not the “main” street. That honor would go to Partition Street, which lies just around the corner. The lengthy road is packed to the rafters with picturesque storefronts and restaurants. Window-shop your way along the avenue and pop into whichever locales catch your eye. Don’t pass by the quirkier stops, either.

To power up for the day, make a beeline for Love Bites Café on Partition Street. The quaint eatery utilizes the best of local produce throughout its menu. Look for mushrooms from Wiltbank Farm in the savory corned beef hash bowl or sample smoked salmon in the classic eggs Benedict. Offerings lean on the savory side, although there is a sweet section with coconut-carrot French toast and hearty vegan pancakes for health nuts who have a sugar streak.
The welcoming space delights with its unusual fusion of Dutch history and Southern flavor. Sit by the mahogany bar or under the charming wooden clog display as you sip a refreshing cocktail or one of the 15 brews on tap. As for what to eat, experience the best of what the eatery has to offer with The Dutch’s in-house smoked pastrami Reuben or smoked baby back ribs. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with the brioche donuts or the house-made cheesecake.
