Things To Do
Wild Common Wine
One of the reasons we drink far too much wine and ended up in the Catskills. Visit our friends Kortney, Lupe, and Stella, and pick up a bottle or two or six from her amazing selection of natural and organic wines. ***Tell her you're here for our wedding and you'll get a 10% discount on your purchase(s)!***
Wayside Cider
We wont blame you for coming here more than once. Delicious local cider accompanied by snacks and friendly service. Try the sumac cider, you won't be disappointed.
Weaver Hollow Brewery
One of the newest additions to Andes, Weaver Hollow Brewery makes slow and naturally fermented ales. The tap room will hopefully be open and operating by Labor Day, and is right next to the Rail Trail head, (walkable from Main Street). Post hike beers are never a bad idea.
Stephanie Charlene Ceramics
Stephanie is a true artist, craftsman, and soulful human. She has become a fast friend to us here, and last summer you could have found Sarah there helping her in the studio most days. Her work is truly stunning, and if you can go there without picking something up we will be surprised.
Clementine Vintage Clothing
An amazing little vintage store on Main Street. Misha has a fantastic eye for clothing, and on labor day weekend will be bringing out many new pieces.
Hudson Made
Bill makes beautiful soaps and body products sold out of his studio on Main Street. If you're lucky he will also have a smattering of his collections for sale.
The Andes General Store
A go-to if staying on Main Street. Here one can get basic ingredients for cooking, plus local meats, goods, and sandwiches to go.
Rosalino's Diner
A great local spot for breakfast or lunch. Open from 7 am to 2 pm every day, and dinner on Wednesday's. If the mood for pancakes strikes, this is your place!
The Andes Hotel
A town mainstay for food and drink. Enjoy the front porch with a beer and watch the town go by.
Two Old Tarts
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the weekends. Enjoy a lovely meal on the patio or get a coffee and pastry to go.
Catskill Regional Harvest
One stop shopping for local produce, meats, and goods.
Bramley Mountain Trail
One of our favorite hikes in the area, a full loop totaling about 4 miles. At the top you will find many view points looking towards Andes and the base of an old fire tower. In 2018 around 8/31 the trail was packed full of wild berries, so a tupperwear in your back pack is recommended.
Andes Rail Trail
In walking distance from any lodging on Main Street. The first mile is very flat and follows the old railway with many lookouts. There is then a 2 mile optional hike called the "bullet hole spur", that ends with a beautiful loop around an old pine tree plantation.
Palmer Hill Trail
Choose the upper or lower loop, (we would recommend the upper for the views). Both total about 3.7 miles.
Shavertown Trail
Beautiful views of the reservoir, a little over 2 miles round trip.
Ballantine Park
This is where our ceremony will take place, but we recommend coming here throughout your stay. An easy walk from main street, picnic friendly, and if it's warm enough, the Tremperkill runs right through it for a soak.
Big Pond
Gorgeous swimming "pond", that is really a lake. If the weather is nice, we strongly recommend it.
Little Pond Campground
Campground, swimming, hiking, and fishing!
Table on Ten
About a 20 minute drive from Andes, here you will find amazing baked eggs for breakfast and pizza for dinner. The eggs in red sauce and turmeric tonic are favorites. Plus they have Four and Twenty Blackbirds pie for people that get Brooklyn homesick.
Brushland Eating House
Farm to table dining in our neighboring town Bovina. We would recommend making reservations if you plan on heading here for dinner.
Stone and Sawyer Store
About 20 minutes away in Delhi, here you will find the most beautiful lamps. A combination of wood, ceramics, and flawless aesthetics.
The Stonehouse
Gorgeous home goods curated and collected by Andrea, from her travels both near and far.
Blue Farm Antiques & Letterpress Printing
A fellow RISD grad, Phil has a striking collection and an amazing letter press studio. He has a wonderful eye, makes beautiful cards, and is incredibly kind to boot.
Kabinett & Kammer
Formerly an Andes Main Street neighbor, Sean has relocated to Franklin this season. In conjunction with fashion designer Gary Graham, their store is a curated experience.
Kimchee Harvest Kitchen
A seasonal fast casual restaurant serving breakfast and lunch on Main Street in Roxbury's Fermentation District.
