The Town of Callicoon, NY

The Town of Callicoon, NY

Several adorable hamlets make this one of my favorite towns in Sullivan County. From a one-block hamlet (no blinking!) to a few with hopeful Main Streets, Callicoon has a lot of promise. Always a good meal and a place to snuggle up. Of note: Do your level best not to confuse the one-block hamlet of Callicoon Center (here in Callicoon) with its bigger namesake (also Callicoon but in the Town of Delaware). It IS confusing! But don’t miss out on this place either, especially on

Ted's Restaurant

Ted's Restaurant

4896 Main St., Jeffersonville, NY (845) 482-4242 In my family, we call this the “pie restaurant” because we had a transcendent experience with apple pie à la mode at the counter here once … before lunch. There's plenty more than pie here, certainly. But I do recommend the pie and sitting at the counter.
