Things To Do
Hollow
Perfect little stop. Breakfast, lunch, and pastries in the front, cocktails and dinner in the back. Go Friday before our welcome drinks!
Eighty Main
Excellent restaurant in downtown Delhi - another great dinner option before welcome drinks.
Wayside Cider Tap Room
Local beers and house made cider, surprisingly great snacks, and games. Great for lunch outside or a light dinner. Hikers: Pair this with the Andes Rail Trail (listed below).
The Andes Hotel
Cute hotel restaurant and bar in downtown Andes - another great pre-welcome drinks option!
Cafe Mutsi
Charming new cafe on Main Street, behind the (very good) bookstore. Excellent breakfast, coffee, and wine. They also have a beautiful dinner service -- conveniently enough, on Fridays only!
Strickland Hollow Tasting Room
Tasting room and restaurant with an awesome takeaway selection of beers, wines, and spirits from across New York State.
The Hidden Inn
Some of you are staying at the inn. The restaurant is equal parts charming dining room serving big portions, and lively bar for locals to watch sports, eat wings, and drink Coors Light.
Cellar Door Wines and Spirits
Hobart Book Village's perfectly curated local wine shop. Stop here (and at the 7 adjacent book shops) on your way out!
First Bloom Corner Store
Groceries, coffee, and essentials, owned and operated by America's sweetheart, Alison Roman.
Solinsky's
Impossibly good smoked meats, local cheeses, eggs, and provisions. Only open Saturday & Sunday.
TP's Cafe
If you're going to Stamford on Saturday morning for Solinsky's meats, come eat very good pancakes here. Cash only.
Catskill Outpost
Home goods, clothing, and hiking supply shop.
Stamford Tennis Courts
Bring your rackets, these two courts are always free!
Mount Utsayantha Fire Tower
AKA the hike up "Mount U." Park at the bottom of Tower Road for a 2-mile out-and-back hike with three huge views.
Hobart Book Village
We live in a book village with 7 used book shops! Recently featured in the NY Times and on CBS Sunday Morning (link to the short video below). Blenheim Books and New York Books & Ephemera are standouts.
The Stonehouse
Extremely well-curated little shop for ceramics, Moroccan textiles, and home goods.
Catskill Scenic Trail
The scenic trail is perfectly flat and winds 25+ miles through our neighboring towns. We walk it at least once a week; park along the route, walk any distance you want, and turn around. You can pick it up in Bloomville, South Kortright, Hobart, or Stamford.
Bramley Mountain Trail
Moderate hike with huge views. The Bramley Mountain summit is 2800' up, and the total hike is about 4 miles.
Andes Rail Trail
The Rail Trail is an easy 1-mile straightaway, which leads to a more moderate 2.2-mile Bullet Spur, all of which we love to do Saturday mornings followed by beers at Wayside Cider.
