But Peace Vodka is a good place to start. If your tastes run more toward whiskey, you are in the right place. Try Fearless Wheat Whiskey or Most Righteous Bourbon. Can't make up your m

So Much Sullivan

So Much Sullivan

Sullivan County is rich with 15 towns and an endless supply of adorable Main Streets to explore, all connected by rolling hills, forests, rivers and lakes. Sullivan is the closest Catskills county to New York City and is leading the charge in the Catskills’ renaissance. Together with Ulster, Delaware, and Greene counties, it is the heart of the Catskills. Start by getting lost here. You can’t go wrong. Sullivan County has a ton of Catskills pride and even talks about its area
The Town of Bethel, NY

The Town of Bethel, NY

Steep yourself in 1970s lore, attend a transformative concert, drink locally distilled spirits and enjoy yourself lakeside with a slice of pizza (from heaven). I am sure you know by now that the Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969 did not actually take place in Woodstock, but in Bethel on Max Yasgur’s farm. It was originally supposed to be in Wallkill, but that didn’t work out. So, from August 15 to 17, 1969, half a million revelers flooded here. A large concrete slab marks

5 Horseshoe Lake Road, Kauneonga Lake, NY (845) 583-4031 benjiandjakes.com @benjiandjakes Two brothers opened a mobile wood-fired pizza oven on the back of an old jet-ski trailer one day. The results: the best pizza ever! Benji and Jake are here and greet me like an old friend every time. Try every combo before settling on a favorite. For me it’s the Golden Oak and the Laughing Goat (I do have goats, after all). If pizza's not your thing, the chicken wings are revolutionary:

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.
