A walk along the Ashokan Reservoir Promenade is a must. The paved trail stretches across the reservoir, with stunning panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains. We especially recommend visiting at sunset, when you can watch the sun dip behind the ridgeline. There are two entrances to the trail, but we recommend starting at the west entrance.
The Ashokan Quarry Trail is an easy two-mile trail that looks out towards the reservoir and mountains. This is also where Matt proposed and is an especially meaningful place to us!
Cheese Louise is beloved spot, known for their selection of artisanal cheese, pantry provisions, killer sandwiches and espresso bar. It also happens to be owned by one of our dear friends, Ari, which makes us love it even more!
Bread Alone is a favorite of the Hudson Valley! You can find their loaves at NYC farmer's markets and upstate grocery stores alike. Their cafes offer a full breakfast menu and great coffee. They have locations in Woodstock and Boiceville!
If you're a chocolate lover, like us, we highly recommend stopping by Fruition Chocolate Works. They make the most incredible, small batch, hand crafted chocolates!
Contemporary cuisine focused on clean and local ingredients, a beloved Woodstock mainstay!
Every Saturday from 9am-1pm, local farms, bakers and florists gather in Kingston's Stockade District for a farmer's market. It's a great way to see Kingston and experience the rich, local food culture of Upstate New York!
Rough Draft is a wonderful bookstore and cafe in Kingston's historic Stockade District. They have a great selection of titles, and serve coffee, cider and beer.
Our favorite ice cream spot! A short drive from Kingston and Woodstock, Cherries serves homemade ice cream, burgers and sandwiches with a retro-inspired twist.
Fool for Love has amazing and thoughtfully curated collection of vintage clothing, jewelry, and things for your home and desk -- pencils, pens, incense, candles and more!
A bit further away in Accord is Iness, a boutique resort with a spa and restaurant. If you're looking for an elevated stay or farm-to-table dining experience during your trip, we'd recommend a visit. This is where we had dinner to celebrate after Matt proposed.
