Letter from JOYCE MINARD Michael Gold / The Corporate Image

For more than two decades, the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce has produced the Taste of New Paltz as a showcase for the best our region has to offer those who work, live, play, and worship here in the Hudson Valley. The Taste celebrates the Valley’s outstanding culinary tradition and bountiful agricultural heritage with the distinctive magic and charm one can only find in the heart of New Paltz, attracting thousands from across the Valley to enjoy a full day of delicious, local food and wine on the spacious Ulster County Fairgrounds, nestled under the shoulder of the stunningly beautiful Shawangunk Ridge.

Our region’s farmers, winemakers, and chefs are proud to have been early and vocal adopters of farm-to-table principles, fiercely advocating for the idea that relationship-building between farmers and consumers leads to delicious, healthy food choices, grows a sense of community, and gives back to the local economy. The Hudson Valley’s commitment to the local and sustainable food movement is evident as you visit each local farm, winery, and restaurant booth here at the Taste.

But there’s more to our region than tasty treats, and the Taste truly provides a taste of everything that makes New Paltz and the surrounding region unique. The Antiques Expo offers a wonderful variety of antique and vintage items from some of the area’s best-respected dealers. Check out the Artistic Taste for paintings, drawings, and photography by regional artists, the Craft Expo for three-dimensional work in ceramics, metal, wood, paper, glass, and more, and the Country Store for scrumptious pre-packaged local comestibles. Connect with dozens of local businesses and organizations in the Business Expo, get health and relaxation info and demonstrations in the Wellness and Recreation Expo, and enjoy live music all day by local musicians and bands. For the first time this year, the Taste highlights local farm-to-table information and demonstrations in the Local and Sustainable Education tent, and antique motorcycles and classic cars will also make their debut at this year’s event.

The New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce remains dedicated to the Think Local First principle. Our member businesses are engaged in this community and have a deep understanding of its special personality. By nurturing the potential of local businesses to succeed, we help cultivate diversity in the kind and quality of shops, services and products that are available in our region, promoting the unique character of our community and raising quality of life for all.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce, I warmly welcome you to the 21st Annual Taste of New Paltz.

Sincerely,

Participating Vendors Each year, the Taste of New Paltz features close to a hundred local businesses under the tents at the fairgrounds in New Paltz, ranging from farms, wineries, and restaurants to antiques dealers, artisans and a diversity of enterprises that reflects the eclectic nature of the local business community. As of press time in midAugust, the following businesses were signed on to showcase their wares at this year’s Taste. This is only a small sampling of the many more who will be at the Taste on September 18.

Tips for

Y

Teresa Horgan

ou may be a lifelong New Paltz resident back for old favorites or curious about the best of what’s new, a visitor from Japan on your third day in the United States, a New Yorker getting away for the weekend. You may be a master chef or a water-boiler, a culinary purist or a frozen pizza devotee, a vegetarian, an omnivore or some combination of the above.

Whichever. We’re delighted to have you here.

You, dear visitor, are the person this event is designed to please, and there is something here under one of our tents that will make your taste buds dance and sing and send you back for second helpings. There may well be more than one such offering. As with any romantic quest, there are ways to increase your chances of finding that Special Taste (or Tastes—culinary polyamory is encouraged here) and wrapping that moment in other fun memories. There’s a knack to this Taste thing, which routinely draws thousands together in celebration of all that is most Yummy about New Paltz, and a few tips can help you have a delicious day.

Get your tickets in advance—by September 14, when admission is two dollars cheaper. That two dollars will come in handy when you just have to have one more bite of a favorite. Plus, you’ll have a wonderful feeling of being Very Organized. You really can’t lose, since the event is rain or shine.

Consider going all the way and picking up the $20 advance package. Along with your admission, you get the official T-shirt—a great conversation starter anywhere from East Podunk to St. Tropez—and 10 taste tickets. That’s a $27 value, folks—seven dollars off. Plus, you’ll be able to jump right in and start tasting, food tickets already in hand, having breezed past the line at the main entrance.

A word about lines. At any Taste booth delicious enough to be winning fans (that would be all of them) lines are likely to be a fact of life. Don’t fight it. Grab some brochures from the sustainability folks and learn while you wait. Or strike up a conversation with your fellow tasters-in-waiting.

Don’t be shy—find out where they’re from and what they like best, and before you know it, it will be your turn.

Your hosts—the chefs and servers at each booth—are very glad to see you and have been gearing up for this

the Taste

challenging day in the spotlight all week. They rose early and are working hard to shine for you. Some are Taste veterans who can make it all look easy.

Others are newbies with perhaps a touch of stage fright. Odds are they would all welcome your questions and feedback— especially if you pick up their restaurant’s contact info to email them at a quieter moment.

If you’re attending with a group, consider scouting the tents together to see what the menu choices are, then splitting up—one person waiting in each line to get what everybody wants from that booth. Pick a spot to reunite, then feast together on hot fresh treats. When everyone’s full, it’s time to check out the expos or a music set before the next round of goodies.

Having a chosen rendezvous is a good idea in any case.

The Taste is best enjoyed without hurry or worry. Happily, the Fairgrounds offer several handy landmarks. You can go ahead and take that extra five minutes getting caught up with someone you haven’t seen since 1987 or swapping contact info with a new friend; your crew knows you’ll all show up by the big tree at four thirty.

Proper attire, please! No, we do not mean jackets and ties. Wear your fair or concert-going clothes and walking shoes, so you’ll stay comfy from head to toe. You may wish to layer—September days often start cool and get quite warm in the early afternoon. Leave the high heels in the car for later and skip the super-tight jeans—we think you’re gorgeous just the way you are, anyway.

Please do not bring your dog, unless your dog is a service dog with a current rabies vaccination. Please do bring camera, sunscreen, and a travel-size pack or plastic bag full of hand wipes, in some type of bag that leaves both hands free for food. Bring the kids—this is the kind of event an older kid (only you know whether yours is ready) can learn to navigate independently in safety. Exceptionally kind or gullible children can even be swiftly trained as expert Taste Retrievers, snagging you one more portion of that amazing dessert.

Most of all, bring your appetite—for food, for fun and for friendship. The Taste is basically a great big family picnic at which many dear relations happen to be exquisitely good cooks- so welcome, dear Taster, to our family.

Loco for Locavore Sustainable Agriculture is all the rage at the taste of new paltz

F

actory farming. Globalization. Extreme weather. Crop loss. Genetically engineered seed. Worldwide, food is in a bad way, which may explain why some advocates for eating fresh, local and naturally grown have simply taken to calling themselves “pro-food.” Like much of modern existence, it can be hard to get your mind around—but the effect of the competitive paradigm on food production could fairly be described as “anti-food.” An unsettling idea, if one is a mammal.

One hundred years ago, three-quarters of the land in the Mid Hudson Valley was farmland. By 2007, it was 17%.

In 1910, there were 5,022 farms in Ulster County; by 2007, there were 501. On the surface, then, one might assume that local agriculture is withering like an ear of Texan corn, an enterprise in decline.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Farms flourish and farmers’ markets thrive in most Hudson Valley towns and dozens of locations across New York City. Upscale restaurants and home chefs proudly declare their extensive use of “fresh local.” Farmstands, community supported agriculture (CSA) farms and “agritourism” operations dot the landscape. The “green city web guide” Ecovian lists 98 CSA operations within a 60-mile radius of New Paltz.

If the grid should collapse, odds are we’ll still be able to get a roasted chicken, a dozen eggs, and all of the ingredients for a nice veggie chili without having to venture too far.

Meanwhile, eating locally and well is getting a little easier year by year, and this year’s Taste will feature some of the region’s strongest proponents of sustainable agriculture.

Beekeeper Chris Harp

A Hotbed of Community Supported Agriculture Why here? “I have no idea why New Paltz became such a hot-bed of community supported agriculture!” says Ron Khosla, founder with his wife Kathryn of Huguenot Street Farm. “Do we have unusually good farms around here or unusually educated and conscious eaters? It’s got to be a mix of both!”

Khosla is on the mark. It’s a mix—a tasty stew informed, perhaps, by what author Richard Florida calls the “brainpower map”—human creativity, the fourth factor of production alongside labor, land and capitol. If a brainpower map could be created that pinpointed great minds in pro-food thinking, the New Paltz area would glow like sunrise.

Take Khosla himself, for example. Unassuming and funny, he’s been running his CSA (called Hug Farm for short) for 13 years, providing local clients with heirloom

products grown using “veganic” principles—“veganic,” Khosla explains, means that no animal byproducts are used in the farming process. So many locals are eager for a taste of Khosia’s bounty that his CSA allows members to cancel at any time and receive a full refund. The waiting list is that long.

And when the US Department of Agriculture moved to standardize the definition of “organic,” placing what might have been a crushing regulatory burden on fledgling farms, Khosla blazed another trail. His Certified Naturally Grown program has taken root as a way for small farmers and CSAs to indicate to their clientele that they practice sustainable farming, “As people become more interested in buying locally and directly, CNG and other “Participatory Guarantee Systems” around the world have swelled to represent tens of thousands of farmers,” Khosla reports. “This year we have a lot to celebrate- India became the first country in the world to actually create a government run program based on our work! Other countries passed legislation recognizing the PGS system, but no other country had taken on running it themselves.”

In between feeding New Paltz and taking over the world, Khosla’s found the time to develop tools like efficient underbed radiant heating for greenhouses, a solar electric tractor, and the CoolBot, which utilizes a standard home AC unit to chill a 160 square foot walk-in cooler at a fraction of the usual cost.

A History of Sustainability The scene is all about information sharing and innovation; most local CSAs and pro-food folks have been doing education and outreach since their beginnings. Besides offering prepaid shares of produce, operations like Phillies Bridge Farm Project and Brook Farm Project serve as research sites and living classrooms. The two projects share a common DNA: Phillies Bridge was originally developed at the behest of Mohonk Consultants, a lesser-known branch of Mohonk Mountain House’s operations that’s been considering issues of sustainability for a century, and Brook Farm Project is located on Mohonk property. Both projects owe much to the efforts of founder Dan Guenther, known fondly as “Farmer Dan,” a crusading educator on global sustainability issues such as peak oil and hydrofracking.

As any pro-food local can tell you, the movement’s tentacles have spread in wondrous ways. Beekeeper Chris Harp and his partner Grai St. Clair Rice offer organic beekeeping and apiary services to facilitate the survival of the humble yet miraculous honeybee, without which Einstein once estimated life on earth would last four days. Farm to Table CoPackers, located in Kingston’s TechCity complex, offers small growers a 20,000 foot kitchen and packing facility none could afford alone for the preparation of artisanal products.

To herbalist, educator and permaculturist Dina Falconi, sustainability itself has become something to be transcended. “I’m very excited about permaculture—it’s systems thinking, a holistic approach to problem solving. We’re not

just aiming for sustainable, but for regenerative—not just sustaining what is, but healing and creating more. Permaculture is ecologically sound agriculture.”

Permaculture, broadly defined, is the building or rebuilding of natural and balanced relationships between all elements of a system. How sustainable is the local pro-food movement? The potential is huge, but cooperation is essential, according to one local ag expert who prefers not to be quoted by name. “There’s a curious relationship between a few major commercial operations and the new generation of smaller farmers,” he says.

“Pretty much everything in between is gone. Small farms can marshal many allies, while larger farms preserve much larger tracts of land, allowing Bonnie and Nathan Snow of A Tavola. time and space for the startups and making sure that there’s land available for organizations like the Open Space Institute to protect. If not for a couple of those larger players, what we think of as the New Paltz viewshed would implode. The larger farms around here don’t function in a predatory fashion—Dressel Farms has the most advanced type of cold storage in America, and they store produce for smaller growers. The big farms also provide a wealth of information to the smaller farmers. It’s symbiotic.

But what does seem to be emerging is a greener economy— and the smaller local operations that sell to greenmarkets are doing well.”

The Farm-to-Chef Connection Local restaurateurs are enjoying the bounty too. “We buy a lot from local farmers,” says chef Marcus Guiliano of the Zagat-rated and green-certified Aroma Thyme Bistro, who will be at this year’s Taste. “We get our meat from a farmer in Stone Ridge, our produce from five or six local farms. I can buy tomatoes or spinach chosen from a particular farm.

Vendors are really beginning to get it—there’s one who travels the Rondout Valley exclusively. I can place orders that are picked fresh when I call and delivered the next morning. And the cheeses! Hudson Valley cheese is wonderful.”

Bonnie and Nathan Snow opened A Tavola, their creative take on traditional Italian food, with a focus on communal and family-style dining earlier this year in New Paltz, partly because of ready access to the area’s robust agriculture.

“There is a grassroots, farm-to-table atmosphere, which was one of the big draws for us,” says Bonnie Snow. “We believe strongly in sourcing ingredients that are as sustainable and as close to the restaurant as possible. That’s something that people here are very aware of.”

The passion, intelligence, and effort invested by pro-food folk are yielding a harvest that transcends any one endeavor, succeeding when the industrial “food systems” would seem to be falling to bits, and their cooperative orientation is a big part of the reason why. Bonds and alliances are formed, consumers are educated, and the weave of the locavore web grows stronger. “I helped organize the Family Farm Festival between 2003 and 2007, which generated a lot of excitement,” says Falconi. “Great things are ripening to happen. It’s exciting to celebrate the deliciousness of local food grown in regenerative systems—we need to make some simple changes in the way we look at the waste stream, and those changes need to be institutionalized. Things which are toxic when they’re concentrated at one point in a system–waste, money—become beneficial when they’re brought into the system in a healthy way.”

Such institutionalization of change can be found right on the SUNY New Paltz campus, where sustainability advocates have succeeded in convincing the college food service to purchase locally; statewide, Governor Cuomo has proposed a program that would allow recipients of food aid to use their benefits at CSAs. Many greenmarkets already accept such payment.

Aside from the little perks like better odds of surviving world economic collapse, the local pro-food movement allows for a lot of fun—whether at events like Taste of New Paltz, out in the CSA fields among neighbors, or shopping downtown. At this year’s Taste, you can learn about the grass-fed and free-range meats of Brykill and Brookside Farms—and encounter international wonders that are locally produced, such as Luigi’s Infused Oils and the ambrosial cheeses of Casa Del Caciocavallo. And whether they’re longstanding institutions like Mohonk Mountain House, Main Course Restaurant & Catering, the Ship Lantern Inn, or smaller, newer offerings like Moxie Cupcake and Toad Holly Pub, the area’s better chefs buy local whenever they can. “I’ve been working directly with farmers for 15 years, and the one thing they lack is a means of delivery—and restaurateurs and farmers are equally busy,” observes Guiliano.

“So it’s great to see the vendors getting on board.”

Powerful evidence for the sustainability—or regenerativity, as Falconi prefers—of the pro-food movement in these parts is the emergence of heirs to the original pantheon of local heros. Farming at “Hug Farm” is being managed by Gavin Rinkor this year, allowing for the CSA’s first expansion in some time. “He’s tireless,” says Khosla. “I guess I was 15 years ago, too.”

The Volunteer Spirit

coming together for A Community Event

T

hat first year, it really did get pretty crazy. Young, relatively inexperienced, and intending to throw a party for a few hundred, the Taste crew got blindsided when over a thousand showed up. The food ran out.

The crowd was dense. There was hardly any place to sit, no central location or scheme for handling money, and no traffic control. “We were panicking,” recalls Colleen Gillette of New Paltz Travel Center. “We honestly could not believe we’d run out of food.”

When the last scrap of garbage was collected and the last dollar extracted from someone’s undergarments (“I was stuffing dollar bills into my pockets, yes, but not my bra!” says Gillette) it’s a fair bet that the cadre of volunteers who created the first Taste of New Paltz fell into bed good and tired. It’s not hard to imagine remarks along the lines of “just shoot me if I ever sign up for this again” being passed in the heat of the moment...and being forgotten hours later.

Like childbirth, the eventual joy of volunteer work somehow transcends the agony.

How else to explain the fact that Gillette, Joyce Minard,

Linda Babb, Marilyn Mazzetti, Vivian Wadlin, Carol Roper and a host of others—Anna Moran, Doug Thompson of the Main Street Bistro, and Ed Burke are a few other names that jump to Gillete’s mind in a list she is careful to say is not complete—kept coming back? One thing is sure—without them, their compadres, and the forces they have managed to marshal over the years, New Paltz would long ago have been Tasteless.

“They do it all,” says Minard of the Taste volunteers.

“Organize, set up, take down, sell tickets, man the entrance, clean up the garbage—soup to nuts. The committee’s all volunteer. We couldn’t possibly do it without them.”

When the dust had settled and the spaghetti stains were laundered out, the crew realized that their difficulties simply signified what a great idea they’d had in the first place.

“Once people saw what a success the Taste was, everyone wanted to be part of it,” Wadlin of About Town recalls.

Volunteer power is a major factor that the Taste has in common with many perhaps less-celebrated aspects of life in New Paltz. Throughout the school district, on the many com-

mittees that do the grunt work of local governance, at Elting Memorial Library, parking cars at the county fair, answering fire and ambulance calls—a great many New Paltz things happen only because volunteers keep on showing up. In the case of the Taste, tireless volunteers serve to organize and supervise still more volunteers: the high school and college age newbies just discovering the joys of service.

Bureau of Labor statistics estimate the donation value of an hour of volunteer time in New York State at something over $27. But as any grateful organizer—or anyone who’s watched a kid make the connection that his or her efforts actually impact people’s real lives in a valuable way—can tell you, the truth is that each hour is priceless. It could be theorized that, along with brilliance, natural beauty, and proximity to New York City, one big reason that New Paltz and surrounding regions are faring better than some places through these trying times has to do with the kind of citizens all this volunteerism and the resultant interconnectedness breeds. “It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself,” observed Ralph Waldo Emerson, invoking some mighty powerful mojo.

Motorcyclepedia Museum, Scott Cavalari

I

n keeping with the Tasty tradition of providing samplesized portions of truly excellent things, organizers are honored to be hosting something new this year that’s way too big to fit on a plate, yet is but a representative smidgen of the wonders of the full-course spread.

That particular feast would be Motorcyclepedia, the Hudson Valley’s newest museum that bike fans (and who doesn’t admire a truly exceptional motorbike, whether roaring past in a proud band of colleagues or at rest in the summer sun?) have been in ecstasies over ever since its opening in the former Miron Lumber outlet on Route 32 in Newburgh last April. “We get requests to do all kinds of events,” says Mark Gamma, public relations rep for the museum. “Just had to turn one down for this weekend. But someone organizing this one must have had Ted’s ear. We’ll be there.”

“Ted” is Edward G. Doering, a Newburgh Free Academy grad and motorcycle collector par excellence; with his father Gerald, he co-founded the nonprofit Antique Motorcycle Foundation in 2010. Motorcyclepedia is Ted’s way of sharing the father and son’s passion—a century of collecting the finest historic bikes—with the public. The family’s low-profile approach to their stable of iron horses makes an interesting contrast to that of Newburgh’s other notable motorcycle family, the Teutels of American Chopper fame—but just as a mass of choppers tooling down a country highway announce themselves with unmistakeable simplicity, Motorcyclepedia didn’t need a lot of fanfare. The

American Chopper folk hastened to film an episode there.

How could they not? We’re talking about 85,000 square feet of display space loaded with over 400 of history’s most impressive motorcycles. “We have more Indians than the official Indian museum, one of every bike they made for 52 years,” says Gamma. “We have a bike that was part of John F. Kennedy’s official motorcade, and bikes from the Nixon and Roosevelt presidencies too. We have the bike that Charles Lindbergh swapped for his first airplane. We have Steve McQueen’s bike from The Great Escape, and his personal motorcycle too. We’ve got the oldest running motorcycle in America; it’s an 1897 Dion Bouton. I tell you, this is just the coolest place.”

Two-wheel enthusiasts and lovers of all things vintage have been spreading the word online at bike fansites.

“Dazzling” and “spectacular” are the kind of words being used. “The Doering collection alone is staggering,” writes one visitor. Trips to the museum give rise to postings of a great many photos and learned debates about historic machines.

The museum also features a complete and operating “Wall of Death” for thrill shows and a vast array of related memorabilia.

Visitors to the Taste will be served a trailerful of star attractions including a 1911 Pope Model H, a 1920 27 Ace, two 1947 reproductions—a knucklehead and a V-Twin—and a 1961 Triumph Bonneville. Contact information for the museum can be found online at www.motorcyclepediamuseums.com.

The History of the Taste

Teresa Horgan

B

efore the Taste, we had two flea markets a year,” recalls New Paltz Regional Chamber president Joyce Minard. “For the autumn one, we’d close down Main and Church streets and have everybody bring racks and tables of merchandise out, have music and food. Then the Department of Transportation said, ‘Joyce, you just can’t close a major thoroughfare this way.’ We needed to do something to showcase our members. It was Marilyn Mazzetti and Linda Babb who actually came up with the idea of a Taste of New Paltz, with some of everything—food, art, business, music, awareness...”

“I had a hundred pumpkins in the back of the Oldsmobile—I almost broke an axle,” laughs Colleen Gillette of the New Paltz Travel Center. “I’d found a storyteller, and Mario Milano of Mountain View Floor Covering donated a bunch of carpet squares for kids to sit on.”

That first year, the Taste—held at Rivendell Winery—had a very local feel. “It was the classic Mickey Rooney ‘Hey kids, let’s put on a show!’ thing,” says Gillette. The popularity of the Taste saw it move to the Ulster County Fairgrounds in 1993. The sylvan intimacy of Rivendell (now Robibero Winery) was traded for the majesty of the Shawangunk Mountains as a backdrop.

The business community’s unique spirit, blending an air of distinction, a hint of notoriety, two cups of smart and a bushel of fun, put the event on the regional map early on. “By about year three, it had gotten so big and so busy that we needed to get serious with committees and stuff,” says Gillette. “I go to big events these days and they have handbooks for the organizers. Maybe there’s a Taste playbook by now, but not when we started out—but we had a lot of great ideas and some fledgling organizational skills.”

A glance back at local headlines of years past tells a story of success: good food, good fun, and great turnouts.

“Everyone wanted to be a part of it once they saw the way it went,” recalls early organizer Vivian Wadlin of About Town.

Through the years, the basic recipe—great food, fine art, informative exhibits, live music, and children’s activities—has been seasoned with the innovative ingredients that present themselves in a given year: Spongebob Squarepants, the New York Lottery’s Yolanda Vega, and martial arts demonstrations have all been savored at the Taste. Much of the event’s flavor has always been supplied by the visitors—around 10,000 in recent years—locals out for a community picnic and tourists drawn by rave reviews, good people in a good mood, out to eat, shop, and get caught up on what’s new and great in a delectable town.

fter you’ve sated yourself at the Taste, why not some fresh mountain air? You’re minutes away from worldclass hiking. The Mohonk Preserve Visitors Center on Rt. 44/55 will orient you to the natural wonders of the organization’s 7,000 acres of outdoor enjoyment. Another option is Minnewaska State Park, just a little further up the road on Rt. 44/55. You can drive up to the lake area, park your car, and enjoy spectacular vistas on the easy stroll around the lake’s shore—or go all out, unload your mountain bike, and eliminate those calories on a backwoods hill climb to Lake Awosting.

Having savored the gastronomic flavors, stop for a taste of gourmet small town hospitality in our shops, galleries and favorite haunts. Find something awesome to wear at the Groovy Blueberry or Handmade and More, where you’ll also find exquisite gifts and home décor. Rarities and classics for your record collection await in Jack’s Rhythms. Or take home a piece of that spectacular mountain panorama with something from the G. Steve Jordan Gallery at Water Street Market, a wonderful place to wander or just sit a while. There’s the Unison Sculpture Garden and Gallery there too, and the Antiques Barn, where Walter Marquez offers loaner bicycles—a great way to experience the adjacent Rail Trail.

A short ride north on the Rail Trail from Water Street (or a quick left immediately past the Walkill River bridge) will bring you to Historic Huguenot Street, the oldest street in America that still has its original buildings. Lose yourself in reflections on the small, courageous crew who came here in 1678, found a promising place to dwell, and launched a community of surpassing sweetness and beauty.

New Paltz is home to one of New York State’s flagship university campuses, and the public is invited to enjoy the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art—stop in for Hudson Valley Artists 2011: Exercises in Unnecessary Beauty. If you find yourself entranced by local art, the Mark Gruber Gallery and the DM Weil Gallery are other art galleries to find some you can take home to enjoy.

Just parking in one of the handy municipal lots and wandering through downtown, you never know what adventure you might find—New Paltz draws everyone from the rich and famous to the young and inspired and some who are all four.

The vibe is casual, the people-watching exceptional, the welcome warm—and, as Taste-goers are well aware, the food’s fantastic.

WHY?

It all goes back to 1678.

Over 300 years ago, a small band of Huguenots founded a new community — New Paltz. Their independence came out of their conviction. That spirit remains strong in New Paltz today. See their colonial stone houses in their orginal village setting. Visit our museum shop. Walk the Rail Trail.

Make a day of it. Special programs are offered year-round.
