To give you some inspiration to get out there and have your next adventure, here are our fave places to visit if you find yourself upstate for a long weekend.
Churchill After Hours
Owned by our pal Jared Lamanna and housed within his auto shop, Churchill Classics that has some of the coolest vintage cars we’ve ever seen, this specialty coffee shop is usually our first stop of the day.
539 State Route 55 / Eldred, NY
MINNA
As a certified B corp and queer-led business that collaborates with Latine artisans, this shop is our go-to for beautiful products that do good for the community and the world. Plus, they sell our friend Leslie Bish’s incredible brand, Hearts Content Apothecary.
421 Warren Street / Hudson, NY
Circle W
Far from your average general store, this spot serves some of the best sandwiches in the region with delicious groceries to boot.
3328 Rte 23A, Palenville, New York
Camptown
A retreat located at the foot of the Catskill Mountains that was originally built in the 1930’s, this hotel is the perfect stay for anyone who loves a good hike and nights spent by the firepit as much as we do.
810 Co Rd 23B / Leeds, NY
Casa Susanna
Housed within the cozy and playful Camptown hotel, this space is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy an amazing drink by our friend and award-winning cocktail curator, Natasha David, or a delectable plate from Chef Efrén Hernández. The restaurant’s name also pays homage to the region’s Casa Susanna community in the 1950’s and 60’s, a home where queer and gender-nonconforming people could safely express themselves.
800 Co Rd 23B / Leeds, NY
