Quintessentially Catskills, Homestedt is a small shop in Livingston Manor that makes you feel instantly cozy. Stop in for a sweater or an assortment of home goods. The owners, Tom and Anna, are some of the big drivers of Livingston Manor and now North Branch with their renovation of the North Branch Cider Mill!
YOU MUST GET A BISCUIT HERE IF YOU HAVE NOT BEFORE!!! Absolutely incredible, don't sleep on the biscuit of the week. Have this be the start to a great morning (or afternoon) in Livingston Manor. If you come at night it is also a restaurant and bar "The Stumble Out" with a NYC quality menu. If you are crunched for time, The Neon Croissant across the street is their bakery and they have amazing treats as well. *women owned!
The oldest family run fly shop in the world! Come see what drew Mitchell to the area in the first place, get lost in the aisles of flies and supplies, and be sure to ask about the conditions and what's biting! If you've ever wanted to try out Fly Fishing, this is the place to do it! Call to reserve waders, boots and a rod in advance, and they also offer guide services.
Our favorite brewery in the area, a must stop if you're in Livingston Manor! Suggestions/Favorites: Freak Tractor farmhouse ale (Sarah), Devil's Path IPA (Mitchell)
