Rail Explorers is passionate about being accommodating for all ages and all abilities. –Mary Joy Lu, co-owner
The newest way to explore scenic Catskill Mountain views has arrived. Rail Explorers—offering tours as the first and only large-scale commercial railbike company in the US—is here in the Hudson Valley, operating along the historic Ulster and Delaware Railroad.
subtitles, but it was a great way to just switch off after a crazy Manhattan day. I was watching the soap opera and saw this couple on a date riding a railbike. I madly started googling bike, rail, Korea, and within a few months I was in Korea meeting the designer.”
Oddly enough, it was a scene in a Korean soap opera, featuring a couple on a railbike, that provided the inspiration back in 2012 for owner Mary Joy Lu to leave the New York City advertising scene with her husband Alex Catchpoole and create Rail Explorers.
In making such a dramatic career shift, Mary Joy says it was her background in the film industry that prepared her and Alex for their next steps. “In the film industry you get a script; it’s black and white and you have to make that script real. That’s all we did. We had a script and we made it real. Everyone said it was impossible, but in film, everything is possible.”
“I was addicted to Korean soap operas,” says Mary Joy. “I just read the 14
Seasonal tours include a Halloween tour, as well as fall foliage, bird watching,
photography, and night astronomy tours.
The 700-pound steel railbikes are equipped with steel cast wheels. “You really feel the clackity-clack of the track. This is not a paddleboat experience,” says Mary Joy. “It’s a powerful machine with zero friction between the steel tracks and the steel wheels.” Rail Explorers support ecotourism, and create little to no impact on the environments and ecosystems the tours pass through.
Tandem and quad railbikes with electric pedal assistance make the eight-mile trip alongside the Esopus Creek and through the majestic Catskill Mountains an activity for the entire family. “Rail Explorers is passionate about being accommodating for all ages and all abilities,” says Mary Joy. Pack a snack and a drink to enjoy at the creekside turnaround.
“We focus on safety,” says Mary Joy. “Since we’re the first of our kind in America, we’re in a fishbowl.” Tour riders are given a safety talk before the ride begins. Guides are situated in the front and the back of the line, crossings are flagged and boom gates are functional. “We answer to the Federal Rail Authority with monthly reports.”

special fall tours are a spectacular way to experience the color of the mountain foliage. “You’ll be riding under a cathedral of fall colors, a golden, red, and yellow canopy,” says Mary Joy. Other seasonal tours include a Halloween tour, as well as bird watching, photography, and night astronomy tours. “We’ve done full moon tours,” says Mary Joy. “The tracks just glisten.” Partnerships have been forged for special tours with the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice and the Emerson Resort and Spa. Up and running in the Catskills since the summer, Rail Explorers has a lease with Ulster County for exclusive use of the tracks. Mary Joy says that they are always on the lookout to create new local partnerships. The Catskill Division presently employs 16 local workers. “We’re trying to be a sustainable, committed employer to our employees,” says Mary Joy. Managers Michelle and J.R. Davis made the move to the Valley from the Las Vegas Division. As Hudson Valley weekenders for more than a decade, Mary Joy, Alex, and their family have since made a permanent move to call the Catskill Mountains their home. 16

Rail Explorers is an entirely unique and
Rail Explorers found their first partnership with the Adirondack Scenic Railroad in 2015. The Rhode Island Division is still active seasonally along the Newport and Narragansett Railroad. The Las Vegas Division is open November through April. In 2016, the Delaware Division operated along the Wilmington and Western Railroad. There are hopes of starting up there again in 2019. Rail Explorers is an entirely unique and interactive way to enjoy the mountains and the seasons in a way we never have before. “It’s a special new jewel in the crown of the Catskills,” says Mary Joy. Don’t forget to book your tour in advance. Check in and park at the Empire State Railroad Museum in the village of Phoenicia. Stop in for a bit of history before you start your journey.

The stone walkways lead to a central swirling structure that rises three stories above ground to reveal a nine-ton
“One of the largest and most beguiling works of art on the entire continent and the greatest earthwork sculpture in existence,” is how Architectural Digest once described Opus 40. This vast environmental sculpture park and museum is located in High Woods, a small hamlet in the town of Saugerties. Fashioned from an abandoned quarry over a period of 37 years by sculptor and quarryman Harvey Fite (1903–1976), the site was the home of Fite’s studio, garage, blacksmith shop, and, eventually, Quarryman’s Museum.

naturally formed abstract monolith.
21 21
This marvelous sprawl of dry stone ramps, pedestals, and platforms spanning six-and-a-half acres of bluestone quarry offers a truly unique experience to every visitor. Gorgeously sculpted pathways that meander through the grounds, along with pools and fountains that spiral up from the bedrock, allow visitors a chance to
climb, wander, meditate, and explore. The stone walkways lead to a central swirling structure that rises three stories above ground to reveal a nine-ton naturally formed abstract monolith. There is perhaps no better place to witness and experience the intimate relationship between nature and art than here at Opus 40.
h i s to ry

As a professor of sculpture and theater at Bard College, his alma mater, Fite purchased the abandoned 12acre quarry site in 1938 from the wid-
art that would embrace a subject he cared about deeply: “a world at peace and reconciliation between all people and cultures.�
ow of the last quarry master. Here he built his house and studio and relocated from the Maverick Art Colony in Woodstock. His aspiration was that this rapture of natural materials would supply him with raw stone for an outdoor sculpture gallery, showcasing large, carved stone works of
Drawing inspiration from restoration work he had done in the Mayan ruins of Honduras, Fite began implementing rubble from the quarried area and using traditional quarryman hand tools to build terraces, ramps, and walkways to lead to individual statues.
In 2001, Opus 40 was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It has become a popular tourist attraction, wedding venue, and concert venue.
fter 20 years of crafting sculptures, one of which A was titled Flame—a female figure with arms upraised to the sky—Fite realized that the scope of his work was surpassing his original vision. This oneand-a-half-ton sculpture was now too diminutive for the expansiveness and scale to which Fite’s work had grown. So in 1964, he replaced it with a nine-
ton bluestone pillar that he raised out of a streambed, with plans of carving a sculpture once it was in place. This monumental task of placing this enormous stone into a hand-formed crater was executed by adapting the principles used by ancient Egyptians and other ancestral methods. The process was intricate and to most would have seemed
impossible. But by utilizing a calculation of extreme engineering precision, Fite lowered the huge monolith, albeit asymmetrical, into place … held entirely by its own weight and balance. His original plan to carve a representational work out of this humongous stone was overtaken by 23
Fite’s realization that it had become an immense abstract sculpture in its own right! A natural piece of art! Over half a century later, this magnificent monolith still stands and is one of the park’s treasured marvels. Fite relocated Flame to nearby grounds, along with other carved representational pieces: Tomorrow, a seated African or African-American male; Prayer, a supplicant child on her knees, with hands clasped in front of her; and The Quarry Family, figures of a man, a woman, and two children. He continued working on the more natural and abstract sculptural concept for the remainder of his life. After three decades as a Bard professor, Fite retired and created a museum to display the venerable tools and traditions of quarrying. The anthology includes historic, hand-forged quarrying tools, along with farming, blacksmithing, and carpentry accoutrements. In May 1976, 37 years after the birth of his massive stone creation, the 72-year-old Renaissance man died in an accidental fall while forging ahead on his dream. His widow, Barbara Fite, who had been an imaginative, artistic colleague and supporter of 24

tourist attraction, wedding venue, and concert venue. Opus 40 provides a marvelous milieu throughout the year for theatrical productions,
exhibits, and lectures, and has been a stage for various performers over the years, such as Sonny Rollins, Jimmy Cliff, Orleans, and Pat Metheny. f u n fa c t s :
•
After three decades, as he was being pressured to name his ongoing masterpiece, Fite bantered, “Classical composers don’t have to name things … they can just number them, Opus One, Opus Two, and so on.” Hence, Opus 40. Opus is the Latin word for “work” and 40 represents the number of years Fite expected to work to reach completion.

With its authentic Italian fare, stellar beer selection (more than 500 options to choose from), and patio overlooking a serene pond and forest, The Country Inn Restaurant and B&B has long had a Shangri-La sort of feeling to it. Tucked away in the hills, it’s been the kind of place that many trav-

elers can’t even find, and the few lucky guests who come across it don’t want to leave. Peter and Diane Rinaudo’s restaurant and B&B is both a home-away-from-home and a hideout off the beaten path in Krumville, a small hamlet nestled between the Catskills and the Rondout Valley.
clean freak,” says Diane), complete with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a flat screen TV. Located minutes away from hiking trails, breweries, wineries, shopping, and more, the Inn provides easy access to nearby attractions where you can spend all day enjoying the delights of the region, and then retreat back to your hideaway to let the Rinaudos
STAY & EAT
For three years now, guests have been able to book the Luv Shack—a charming one-bedroom cottage just steps from the restaurant—or one of three suites at the Inn’s bed-and-breakfast, and enjoy luxe comfort in the peaceful hills. You’ll be welcomed with housemade truffles and escorted to your cozy, spotless room (“I’m an absolute
spoil you rotten, awakening to a breakfast crafted from the freshest seasonal ingredients. “We balance the luxury and the rustic aspects, and people of all styles and tastes seem to love the results,” Diane says. “And with the kitchen and the bar right there, it’s really easy to meet their needs.”
Wood-fired pizza and Italian specialties are a focus on their menu. The Rinaudos visit Italy every year and come back inspired, reviving their menu with new ideas that are sourced as locally as possible. And the burgers—so good with a crisp beer from their extenseive beer selection—are back on the menu by popular demand.

Tucked away in the hills, we have everything our guests need. They come, relax, and don’t want to leave.

Krumville is a wonderful community, and the Country Inn is a vital feature for locals as well as wanderers. “A lot of people need a one-night getaway to refresh and carouse a little and not have to drive,” says Diane. “We have couples who check in from the restaurant. After all, we do have 500 beers you can try! Booking in advance is a good idea, though. And we serve as a sort of overflow bedroom for the community; we love hosting family get-togethers. 32
Last weekend we served a family who had guests come for a 73rd birthday party. We have a familystyle table that seats 20. I love seeing everybody be able to sit down at the same time.” When you check in, dietary restrictions and preferences will be duly noted and observed in the preparation of your housemade meals and edibles. Whatever kind of fun you’re after, the Rinaudos

can help you find it. “Since we live here as well, we’re present the whole time, and I love being a tour advisor and sounding board,” says Diane. “Something about the place just attracts great, fun people, and we’ve molded the experience to show them a great, fun time. Through e-mails, I get to know who the guests are and why they’re coming. If it’s your anniversary or your birthday, you’ll find a special welcome. If you’re bringing the kids, we’ll have a treat ready for them.” Besides the neighbors and the many visitors they get from the metro area who just want to head to the hills for a couple of days of refreshing, well-nourished bliss, the Inn gets visitors from all over the world on all kinds of missions. “We had a kid from Israel who just radiated excitement the whole time,” Diane says. “We get guests from the UK, from Italy, all over Europe, who find us through Booking.com. We had a couple who spent their day exploring Mohonk and came back here to sleep. And I’ll never forget the Elle model. She arrived at midnight with her whole crew and the crew just started drinking up a storm.... She’d never been in the US before. She was exhausted. I made her at home the way I’d want someone to do for my daughter. Anything she needed, she got.” The restaurant, unlike the guest rooms, has neither Wi-Fi nor cell phone service. “Peter has really great
33
taste in music, which makes an excellent soundtrack for face-to-face human interaction with the friends you came with and any new ones you make,” Diane says. “Putting the screens away while you eat and drink adds a whole other layer of nourishment to the experience.” Suggestion: Eat on the patio overlooking the gorgeous pond. 34
Life here in the middle of “nowhere” agrees with the Rinaudos, and there’s nothing they like better than sharing the joy. “I love all of it: cleaning, cooking, welcoming, and nurturing,” Diane says. “And our guests are so much fun. I love meeting people from places I’ve never been and having them say, ‘We hate to say goodbye, we’ll see you again!’ My goal is for everyone to feel as comfortable as family.”

Peter Yi didn’t plan to fall in love with cider. “My first real career was in the wine business,” he says. “I was a taster and buyer of wine for 25 years; it was what I thought I wanted to do for the rest of my life.” And why not? It was a terrific life: fine food, world travel, and like-minded friends, not to mention he exceled at it. But four years ago, while in the Basque
region of Spain, Peter got hit with a “thunderbolt moment” that would change his life: “I was on one of my wine-buying trips and stumbled on this incredible natural cider,” he says. “It was so mystical, so friendly with food. And it made you feel just wonderful, both while you were drinking it and the day after. Even if you consume a large quantity, you’ll be able to run a marathon the next day.”

Peter had tried hard cider before and been underwhelmed by it. But this cider—non-carbonated and dry and sour—was a revelation. “It’s more like a wine than a typical cider,” he says. “It’s unfiltered and unrefined, and it’s full of probiotics. I call it ‘raw’ because it seems to be cider in its most raw, natural form.”
You can bring the kids and pets, pick your own apples in season, explore the glorious grounds, shop artisanal goodies, and relax on the pavilion with fine Basque-style cider and live music.
He’d discovered the sagardotegi—a centuries-old Basque cider-house tradition in which the beverage (always “still,” not sparkling) is offered fresh from the barrel and paired with exquisite grilled food. From that moment on, Peter’s energy was focused on bringing that tradition back to New York, his lifelong home and home to some of this continent’s finest apple-growing terroir.
52
Brooklyn, he decided, was in desperate need of a cider house. But to make it happen in just the right way, he needed just the right apples. His sister Susan, a teacher by profession, fell in love with the mission, too, and promptly left her career to get the business off the ground. The four-year journey has been epic. Early on, Peter
sold his house and auctioned off his wine collection, devoting every scrap of energy and money to the dream. “We wanted total vertical integration for the business. I knew that we’d have to make the cider ourselves. I called nearly every apple orchard in New York State seeking the bitter hard cider apples, but no one was cultivating them. They’re utterly different from the supermarket table apples; they call them ‘spitters’ be-

cause they’re bitter, and if you took a bite you’d spit it out. So we went on a search for apples, to abandoned orchards, forests.... What you need are the cuttings. The seeds don’t give you what you want. We found cuttings of the varieties we wanted and we worked with a nursery to graft them onto rootstocks for us. We revived an orchard in New Paltz on which we’ve
recently planted our baby trees. ” Like the apple varieties, the orchard had to be perfect. “Being from the wine business, I knew it had to be very special. The climate, the soil, the drainage, the minerals.... I found it in New Paltz. It’s a funny thing, but great rock climbing destinations seem to offer incredible terroir; it’s
I could never be happy with B-rated pizza. It has to touch me, the way my ciders touch people. true all over the world and it holds true here.” Having found the decades-old Twin Star Orchards, just a few miles from Main Street in New Paltz, the team set to work readying the soil. When the time came to craft the guest experience at the New Paltz location, the globe-trotting foodie knew just what he wanted to achieve. “I’m extremely finicky and I wanted to
54
offer food I knew I could make really well,” Peter says. “I wanted something traditional that could pair really well with the cider, and I wanted the cooking process to be fueled by the land. The solution—Neapolitan pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven imported from Naples and flame-broiled burgers—reinterprets the joys of the sagardotegi for the Hudson Valley. Apples
from the farm are also made into craft cider at the restaurant and bar in Bushwick, where it’s paired with a “Basque Sagardotegi Prix-Fixe” menu and “caught” directly from the barrel between courses. Those who visit the restaurant in Bushwick, Brooklyn are encouraged to venture upstate for a look at where the apples are born and then enjoy a pizza on the panoramic pavilion. “We use really fresh mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil that smells of green tomatoes and freshcut grass,” he says, “and hand-picked basil from the garden. The crust is made with a Caputo 00 flour— the grain is half the size and it absorbs more water, so it’s fluffier and lighter and easier to digest. I could never be happy with B-rated pizza. It has to touch me, the way I hope my ciders touch people.” The same level of care goes into the burgers: hormone- and antibiotic-free 80/20 beef grilled to juicy perfection and served with “the best buns we can buy” and homegrown garden vegetables.
Cider was a beverage of choice in the Colonial era.
The tradition was interrupted by Prohibition and factory farming.
Even in a region that’s long loved its burgers and pizza, the Brooklyn Cider House versions are causing a stir. The setting, with its sunset-facing pond, and convenient location to nearby nature preserves and
55
the Thruway, is also winning raves. You can bring the kids and pets, pick your own apples in season, explore the glorious grounds, shop artisanal goodies in the farm store, and relax on the pavilion with fine Basque-style cider and some equally fine live jazz or mellow rock. “We mix it up,” says Peter of the entertainment, “but nothing harsh. It has to work with nature.” Cider, Peter points out, was a beverage of choice in the Colonial era. The tradition was interrupted by Prohibition, but he’s hoping more and more people will rediscover the beverage that is actually traditional to America. “I have many more dreams,” he says, “most of them surrounding cider and flawless food. In time, you can expect more innovations. And I really believe that once people open their minds and give this authentic cider a try, they’ll want to be part of the tradition, too. As for me, I have truly found what I am meant to do.”

tips for a successful pie
• Invest in a pastry cloth and rolling pin stocking. • Handle the flour mixture “lightly” throughout the process. • Be careful NOT to over stir the flour/shortening mixture as you add the ice water. • Chilling the dough for several hours will make it easier to roll. • Be careful not to add too much flour to the dough as you roll it out. (Hint: think pastry cloth and stockinette.) • When rolling the dough, roll from the center all around the “clock;” do not roll back and forth, that stretches the dough. • Never re-roll a crust; rather, patch the tears with cold water.
70
• Don’t over fill the pie—this will stretch the top crust which will fall or rise up high while the fruit sinks to the bottom. • Bake your pie in a very hot, preheated oven, 425 or 450 degrees. You may choose to turn the temperature down to 350 or 375 degrees after 15 to 20 minutes. Your pie is done when the fruit is juicing and the crust is nicely browned. • Place your pie in the lower half of your hot oven, so the bottom crust can bake before the fruit starts to juice. This prevents a soggy bottom crust. • The dough is easier to handle if it is slightly wet rather than slightly dry.

OUR FARMS kabocha
Also known as the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin, this squash is squat and round like a wheel of cheese. Like many pumpkins, the seeds are edible but the stringy pulp should be removed before using the squash for its flesh or seeds. When cooked, it has a very sweet flesh and a smooth, fine-grained texture and offers a mild, subtly sweet pumpkin flavor. Great for: pies and soups.
Kabocha is a Japanese variety of winter squash with many varieties. It is excellent in soups, stews, and pies. With a firm, dry flesh, kobacha squash lends itself well to savory dishes and can be baked, steamed, stuffed, or pureed. Works well as a substitution in recipes that call for pumpkin or sweet potatoes. Great for: soups, stews, pies, roasting, and stuffing.
c a r n i va l
This speckled, and striped, pumpkin-shaped squash has a sweet, mellow flavor comparable to butternut squash. The carnival’s skin must be peeled. The thick skin on winter squash is what allows this squash to last a while. The carnival’s yellow flesh is excellent stuffed and is flavorful like sweet potatoes and can be turned into a fine stuffing or steamed/baked with butter and fresh herbs. Great for: roasting and stuffing.

turban
d e l i c ata
cinderella
This lovely squash comes in a variety of peculiar shapes and colors, including green, orange, and yellow. Although very decorative, the turban squash can definitely be roasted and eaten. Peeling this squash will be much easier after baking it for a bit. Larger versions of this squash may be roasted and filled with soup to be used as edible bowls; the hazelnut flavor and floury texture lends itself well to this. The turban is also a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and iron. Great for: purees, roasting, and soups.
Resembling a fat cucumber, this oblong, pale yellow squash is also called sweet potato squash because of its texture and sweet, creamy flavor. No peeling is needed because the delicata’s skin is completely edible. Being very filling and easy to cook, this squash makes a perfect substitute for starchy carbs. Delicata squash is a good source of magnesium, manganese, and vitamins A and C. Try it with butter and brown sugar caramelized from the oven or with butter and herbs. Great for: roasting and stuffing.
The Cinderella pumpkin is a unique French heirloom. It resembles the pumpkin that Cinderella’s fairy godmother transformed into a carriage. This pumpkin is recorded as possibly being the variety cultivated by the Pilgrims, and served at the second Thanksgiving dinner. Cinderella squash makes a delightful decorative accent for the fall season, and its flavor is good for any pie or winter squash recipe. Great for: pie filling, breads, and decorating.
sugar
hubbard
butternut
Sugar pumpkin is the modern baking pumpkin. Round, small, and sweet with brightly colored orange skin, this squash is perfect with almost everything. Unlike its larger field pumpkin friends, the sugar and other smaller pumpkins make for a great addition to any meal, much like acorn squash. When pureed, the sugar pie is great in breads, pancakes, soups, and even pasta dishes, such as ravioli. These versatile little pumpkins can even be hollowed out and roasted to hold custards or soups as a fun and useful decoration for your fall dinner parties. Great for: breads, pancakes, pie filling, purees, ravioli, risottos, and soups.
The hubbard squash is a large winter squash that can weigh from eight to twenty pounds and range in color from gray-blue to orange to green. Under its hard, thick, and nubbly skin is savory, sweet, yellow flesh. The flesh is best suited for mashing or pureeing for pie filling because it is sometimes grainy in texture. If stored correctly, this squash can last up to six months! The hubbard is a wonderful source of vitamin A. When seasoning, try it with butter and cumin or nutmeg, and then turn the leftovers into a delicious spice cake. Great for: mashes, pie filling, and purees.
This bottle-shaped squash is one of the most common but with good reason. Its tangerine-colored flesh is low in fat and has significant doses of potassium, fiber, and vitamins A, B6, and C. Butternut squash, with its long, thick neck, also has the most flesh within. And since the skin is so smooth, it makes for an easy peel. Because of its sweet, nutty flavor, this squash combines well with a large variety of seasonings, from bacon to cinnamon, or without other flavors at all. It even tastes great wrapped in a burrito with other goodies. Great for: purees, roasting, and soups. 81

EAT & DRINK
When Ralph Erenzo moved to the Hudson Valley in 2001, he planned to open a rock climbing gym in the Shawangunk region in Gardiner. He had purchased the historic Tuthilltown Gristmill and set out to expand his business that had already created the first rock climbing gym in New York City. Due to concerns from neighbors about this project, Ralph—a 25-year rock climbing veteran—had to change directions and come up with a new idea. Together with business partner Brian Lee, Ralph decided to create the first whiskey distillery in New York since Prohibition (which ended in 1933).
With no previous knowledge or experience in distilling spirits, Ralph began to learn the craft, and by 2003, Tuthilltown Spirits was in business. Co-founder Brian designed and built the facilities, and became the engineering mastermind behind all of the technical processes that go into fermenting and distilling spirits. When the business began, Tuthilltown was one of the only farm-based

distillers in New York. In order to sell their whiskeys directly to consumers, Ralph had to work to promote the Farm Distillery Act: an agreement that allows New York State farmers to distill and sell spirits on their farm. Today, Tuthilltown Spirits proudly distills spirits made with locally grown crops. Their selection features Hudson Baby Bourbon, Hudson Four Grain Bourbon, Hudson Manhattan Rye, Hudson Single Malt, and Hudson Maple Cask Rye. Awards and notable honors that distinguish the distillery include “Craft Whisky Distillery of the Year” from Whisky Magazine, “Apple Vodka Distillery of the Year” from the 86
New York International Spirits Competition, “Best New American Whiskeys of the Year” by Food & Wine Magazine, and many others. Jacob Tschetter, associate and brand ambassador at Hudson Whiskey—the signature line of whiskeys distilled by Tuthilltown Spirits—describes the distilling process: “Hudson Whiskey starts with locally grown grain and, using a whole-grain process that keeps the entire mash intact all the way through fermentation and first distillation, Hudson’s distillers are able to pull more flavor and oils from the grain for a richer spirit. Hudson Whiskey uses barrels ranging from
10 gallons up to 53 gallons to mature the whiskey, with the different size barrels resulting in different flavor profiles. Once the barrels reach optimum maturation, they are vatted together to create a complex, layered flavor. Finally, the whiskey is then bottled, dipped in wax, and numbered before being shipped worldwide.” Tuthilltown Distillery invites the public to visit the grounds and learn firsthand about their unique distilling process. Visitors will see the entire smallbatch distillation process from beginning to end, while also learning insider information and other key details of the process. The Visitor Center offers tastes of a wide variety of spirits—from gin to vodka to whiskey and other handcrafted spirits. Also onsite is the Distillery’s signature restaurant: Char 1788. This farm-to-table restaurant serves seasonal American cuisine, featuring locally sourced food from the Hudson Valley. The theme of Char’s menu changes with the season to highlight the bounty of the Valley and creativity of their team. Guests can enjoy views of the stream while sitting outside on the deck, sipping housemade specialty cocktails made with Tuthilltown Spirits (of course!), and nibbling some local fare.
With close proximity to the Gunks, the grounds offer an intimate, ambient setting for guests to enjoy good food and spirits. 87
Tuthilltown also opens its doors to events and weddings. With close proximity to the Gunks, the grounds offer an intimate, ambient setting for guests to enjoy good food and spirits. Breathtaking views of the Shawangunk Kill and Wallkill River make this venue the ultimate oasis away from the bustle of life, allowing friends and families to experience relaxation and peace as they celebrate together. Tuthilltown is indeed a unique distillery to visit, being one of the first of its kind, and has the added luxury of a scenic location. Be sure to add this fascinating destination to your fall foliage journey through the Hudson Valley. You can even visit the nearby orchards that supply some of the ingredients for their spirits. Tours are offered every Saturday and Sunday. Larger groups can also schedule tours in advance.

Local Eatery

“I’ve been obsessed with food since I was four years old,” says Jodi Cummings, chef/owner of Caffe Macchiato in Newburgh’s trending Liberty Street corridor. “I was born here in Newburgh and grew up in Marlboro, surrounded by apples and Concord grapes. My best friend Karen lived on Quimby Farms, and I grew up infatuated with farms and
animals and beautiful fruit. People thought it was funny, because Karen was so absolutely not into it, but to me it was always, ‘Wow! There’s food right there to pick!’ I grew up eating farm-to-table and learned early about specialty shopping for the best fresh, local stuff. It’s always been my conviction that that’s how food should be.”

EATERY first attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan and lived “all over the Northeast” for a while. It was while taking a break from fashion that she tried her hand at waiting tables, graduated to bartending and management, and found that her passion for food came roaring back. “I embraced restaurant work wholeheartedly and
did very well; I was a great server. I loved overseeing someone’s dinner and their experience. I’ve always just loved eating out—the colors, the tastes, the smells. I have absolute empathy with what a guest is hoping to experience.” Her love of cooking and knack for it led her to take the next step. “I had a ‘What am I really doing with
my life?’ moment at 40 and enrolled in the Culinary Institute,” she says. “It was the best decision I ever made. I’d always been a Culinary groupie; I brought my experience and they gave me an even stronger foundation. I loved attending school there, and when I opened Caffe Macchiato in ‘06, I was able to hit the ground running, focused and passionate.” Working as a chef at Glynwood—the iconic Cold

Spring not-for-profit dedicated to regenerative agriculture and fine cuisine—brought together her love of the farm and her passion for the kitchen. It also taught her a great deal about what eating farm-to-table is really about. “The official ‘organic’ label is not the important factor, and in some cases it can even be deceptive,” she says. “It’s a marketing term.
I rely on local; your local farmer is a better bet for fresh and healthy than something labeled ‘organic’ from a supermarket that was shipped in from a factory.” All of that experience and education comes together at the cozy European-style cafe on Liberty Street, where guests will find a

seasonally inspired, frequently refreshed menu and a staff with a collective 50 years of restaurant experience. Whether you’re after a hearty weekend brunch, a cappuccino and a croissant, or an early fix of huevos rancheros, Jodi and her crew will tend to your every whim. “I’m fanatical about customer service and hospitality,” she says. “It’s not just the food, it’s 94
the experience. My philosophy, one of them anyway, is that everyone who can afford to have someone cook for them once in a while should get the very best, served with a warm welcome.” Both the service and the food live up to the stellar online reviews. Jodi knows where to find the best ingre-
dients in the whole bountiful Valley, and spares no effort in retrieving them. “My menu changes all the time; about 40 percent stays the same,” she says. “I’m a very seasonal cook: warm soups on a chilly day, cool salads in the summer heat. I tend to steer toward bright, distinctive flavors. I get the most beautiful bacon, local fresh brown eggs, bread from Bread Alone. I love Asian-style housemade dressings. Hudson Valley Magazine readers named us the best avocado toast around—my avocado toast apparently has a cult following.”
“I grew up eating farm-to-table and learned early about specialty shopping for the best fresh, local stuff. It’s always been my conviction that that’s how food should be.”
As a local, she’s proud to have created a landmark that’s part and parcel of the city’s revitalization. “There’s still some stigma to Newburgh among those who don’t know what we’re doing here,” she says. “But more and more are discovering us, and people who are from New York City—and we get a lot—don’t turn a hair, they just enjoy. I’d like to see city government get more hands-on. I meet with the city manager regularly. I’d like to see a ‘Have you been to Newburgh lately?’ tourism campaign.” When a tornado struck Liberty Street last spring, Jodi helped spearhead an epic neighborhood cookout, breaking out the shrimp, oysters, and gourmet goodies for the whole community to feast on during cleanup.
95
“We get a lovely cross section,” she says of her guests. “Manhattan transplants, locals from Newburgh, people who travel from all over the Hudson Valley for brunch. There’s typically a line out the door for brunch on weekends, full of people from Beacon, Poughkeepsie, Middletown, Goshen.... The fact that people would leave Beacon and come over here is wonderful to me. Being a Newburgh destination, we may have to work a little harder, but I love amazing people. Green drinks, for example. People taste mine and they’re shocked. ‘This is delicious! It’s like a great cocktail without the vodka!’ I want them excited to come here. I want them to leave thinking about how soon they want to come back.”
As owner, Jodi keeps a firm hand on all aspects of the Caffe’s affairs, from accounting to social media and beyond, and finds her bliss in the daily rhythms of cooking and hospitality. “Baking for a few hours in the morning is my meditation,” she says. “I don’t follow food trends; I follow my own instincts and what the customers want, find out what they love and go in that direction to keep it fun. A lot of restaurants don’t really have that luxury; they’re locked into a particular cuisine or description—Italian, gastropub, whatever. The Caffe is whatever I decide it is, and I couldn’t be happier when someone’s pleased. At the end of the day, I’m an artist, and food is my medium.”

cheese louise! by barbara reina

At the northern tip of Kingston, just a few miles off the Thruway traffic circle on Route 28 heading toward Woodstock, you’ll find a local gem of an eatery called Cheese Louise. Conveniently situated between The Wine Hutch and Bistro To-Go, this specialty grocery store/deli is the ideal market for any weekender or day-tripper looking to stock up on some essentials. A stop at this well-loved shop will take a picnic in the Catskills to a whole new level.

As the catchy name suggests, Cheese Louise is not your average small deli. Offering much more than a selection of fine cheeses, it is packed with unique and local flavors, some that you can taste for yourself. Owners Sam McDevitt and Rick Regan put out a taste-testing spread that includes an international variety of olive oils with crusty breads for dipping, cured sausages, and aromatic, creamy cheeses with assorted crackers.
The bounty of gourmet cheeses may leave you awestruck (they carry over 120 varieties), but not to worry: Sam, Rick, and their staff are there to guide you through the range of options, from hard to creamy, buttery to nutty, mild to pungent, and beyond. When you’re finished with the frômage, you can move on to the other essentials: Catskill Mountain organic coffee beans, Hudson Valley bee honey, sausages, jams, jellies, and gluten-free crackers all provide the perfect pairings for the gourmet palate. Top that off with some of the

A glance at their Facebook page shows just how much this shop is loved by the local community. “Simply the best!!” writes one reviewer, adding, “Everyone who works there is amazingly friendly & helpful.”
In addition to gourmet hors d’oeuvres and procurements, Cheese Louise offers an impressive array of prepared foods that make for an indulgent lunch by the nearby reservoir or an easy dinner at home.

Overlook Fire Tower
With each step, you get a little higher and the feeling of exposure and air becomes slightly more real. As wind whips through the rickety staircase, you begin to wonder, “How long has this tower been here, enduring the changing seasons?�

Just on the outskirts of Woodstock, Overlook Mountain is an ideal hike for a view of the Ashokan Reservoir and surrounding Hudson River Valley. The trail going up Overlook is an old carriage road that leads to an abandoned 19thcentury hotel, so the path is wide and well-worn, but is entirely uphill. The tower itself is located about two miles up from the trailhead and is one of the newest in Catskill Park— it was erected there in 1950. It rises an additional 60 feet from the elevation of 3,140 feet, and is open most weekends from Memorial Day through Columbus Day.
If you’re seeking to gain a bit more elevation than just the summit of the mountain, here are three climbable fire towers you don’t want to miss out on:

Historically, there were over 100 fire towers scattered throughout the mountains of New York State. Over time, new technologies expanded in the region and the years of scouting for forest fires from high above the mountain peaks slowly fizzled out. Lucky for us recreationists, we are fortunate enough to still be able to visit the select few that remain in the region.

Talk about really working hard for a view. Towering 4,040 feet above sea level, this hike is not for the faint of heart. The steep and unforgiving trails will keep you on your toes for the entirety of your adventure. The payoff is incredible, however: 360-degree views of the rolling mountains that extend into the Berkshires, Connecticut, and, on clear days, even southern Vermont. This fire tower is the tallest among all the remaining fire towers in New York, and is the second highest in the entire Northeast region.
If a treacherous hike is not your idea of fun, this option could be for you. From top to bottom, this historic stone fire tower will not disappoint. You can choose to stroll up to the base of the “Sky Top Tower” on an easygoing carriage road, or take the hiking trail through the rocky caves of the “lemon squeeze.” Views of the historic castle sitting on Mohonk Lake below are like something out of a fairytale. Note: A day fee is required to gain access, as this is private property.
Historically, there were over 100 fire towers scattered throughout the mountains of New York State.
As you enjoy the gorgeous views that our region has to offer, please remember to practice Leave No Trace! Anything you wouldn’t find out in nature shouldn’t be left there. This includes banana peels, orange peels, all food waste, and certainly all types of packaging.
Pack essential gear for the mountains: plenty of water, snacks, and a flashlight. You never know when you will need a first aid kit, and you surely don’t want to get stuck in a storm without your rain jacket. See you out there! 109

If you’re a man, or love someone who is, you need to get to know Hamilton & Adams in Uptown Kingston. A shop dedicated to the discerning and adventurous man, Hamilton & Adams features menswear that’s both sharp and rugged, grooming tools that feel as good in the hand as they do on skin, and unique, well-made gifts and accessories that aren’t easy to come across. To shop for such things online at random is to risk disappointment; some things need to be experienced in person. At Hamilton & Adams, where the mantra is “Stay Curious,” you’ll find a well-curated cornucopia of solid finery.

The shop happened because the moment was just right. Clark Hamilton Chaine and Andrew Adam Addotta both knew they wanted their own business “someday.” Both were talented marketers. Andrew had 20 years of retail experience with names like DKNY and Gap; Clark had over 20 years in marketing and brand-building on both coasts, working for heavy hitters like Charles Schwab and NBC Universal. The idea of establishing something to call their own was one they often tossed around. But what?
“We had discussed opening a business together and it being upstate,” Andrew confirms, “but we had never fleshed out a business plan or timeline. That said, we made a call about the spot, signed the lease, and then got to work on our plans. Sometimes you just have to go for it.”

The answer, like the brand they’re building, evolved. On Small Business Saturday in 2016, they were wandering Kingston’s Stockade District and found “the spot,” and the rest flowed from there. “We had always loved the historic Stockade District and thought it had amazing bones, but needed some meat on the bones,” recalls Clark. “Having chatted about wanting to start our own business for some time, we saw the vacant storefront and looked at each other and said, ‘let’s do it,’ and threw our hat over the wall.”
“While we offer categories of products that are available globally, we can guarantee you that you will find goods here that are not available by other retailers in the Hudson Valley, or online.”
They’d been growing the sort of mutual love affair that one does with Ulster County since before 2010, and built a house in Stone Ridge back in 2012. Both Andrew, born and raised near Buffalo, and Clark, a fifth generation Californian, have bicoastal and global sensibilities and love to travel; but Kingston, and the Stockade in particular, offered the ideal home base. “Kingston is undergoing a kind of renaissance, and with that
comes an incredibly diverse consumer base,” says Clark. “We have our core local residents, the recent transplants who’ve moved up to the Hudson Valley, weekenders, and then all the visitors who are rediscovering Kingston and all the unique features it has to offer.” Having already explored and been drawn in by the uniqueness of Kingston, the chance to establish something unique
We’re thrilled be part of the Kingston community and want to share that excitement with our fans in fun and unique ways. themselves was one they grabbed with both hands and continue to develop. “H&A is a new brand we started from scratch,” Clark says. “The only existing elements were our names and the rich, historic Stockade District. We wanted our brand to connect to Kingston’s historical DNA, but also relate to us, and our middle names provide the perfect combination of both.”

beard oils to make a regular guy feel exquisitely well-tended. There are beautiful things for the home with a masculine feel, like a copper Moscow mule mug or a leather-covered flask. The implied lifestyle bespeaks comfort and freedom to be yourself, leaving the rest to you. In other words, Clark and Andrew are offering things they love. “We are casual, in terms of our lifestyle,” says Andrew. “We aren't overly fussy or complicated and we like to be curious about the world we live in. Before we launched Hamilton & Adams, we were always out exploring, covering the Hudson Valley and beyond.” Maybe that’s why the carry bags make one want to pair them with a train ticket leading to an international port; however, 116
they’d work equally well around town. Hamilton & Adams welcomes everyone with the same laid-back warmth. “The customer base is really broad,” says Andrew, who spends his week running the business. “While buying for the brand we try to make sure that there will be something for everyone who visits us. Everyone is welcome here, and we hope to keep meeting more people.” Women are always more than welcome to browse, whether they’re gift shopping for a loved one or shopping for themselves. The “Upstate and Chill” tees do come in women’s versions. “While we’re currently a men’s shop, we have every intention to evolve and
grow our offering to additional products and services that align with our mantra ‘Stay Curious,’” says Clark. Since their opening in spring 2017, it’s been a journey

That they are, and the future is both bright and wide open. “What really inspires me is the blank slate aspect,” says Clark. “We have full creative control to build the brand into whatever we want. There is a ton of opportunity that we’re constantly working to unlock and share with the community. I love that opportunity to bring a vision and dream to life. Test and try ideas to see what works. Dream big and realize that we’re only limited by our own imagination.” Which is, clearly, not a very narrow limit. You’re very much invited to share the journey. “Come visit us,” urges Andrew. “We always have something new and would love to help you be curious about the world!” And, as Clark suggests, you can get in on the fun from anywhere in the world— just follow @HamiltonandAdams on Instagram and Facebook. It’s quite clear that wherever these two decide to go, it will be fun and interesting—and sure to keep us curious. “While we offer categories of products that are available globally, we can guarantee you that you will find goods here that are not available by other retailers in the Hudson Valley, or online,” says Andrew. “We work very hard to carry our own branded products that are unique, and other brands 118
that are small and not as widely distributed.” “We don’t think of Hamilton & Adams as just a store,” adds Clark. “It’s a brand that delivers both products and service, and, most of all, we like to deliver our customers and fans with experiences, whether that be meet-maker events, pop-up experiences, or other unique and creative programs that help keep consumers excited and engaged. We’re thrilled be part of the Kingston community and want to share that excitement with our fans in fun and unique ways.” You’re very much invited to come meet the guys in store any day or the week, or at Field + Supply down at the Hutton Brickyards on the Kingston Waterfront on Columbus Day Weekend, when Andrew says some new products will be launched—undoubtedly something unique, casually fabulous, and built to last.

From the age of three, Rodney Greenblat has been immersed in the creative process—drawing and creating visual art—and has never stopped. Prior to opening his eponymous retail store in Catskill—The Rodney Shop—he had an expansive career as a freelance visual artist and character
designer. His shop showcases some of his best creations and is a visual feast for the eyes, popping with bright colors and clever, cheerful characters that are as fun for adults to look at as they are for kids. “It looks like a toy store, but it’s not exactly. It’s more of an artist variety store,” explains Rodney.
The Rodney Shop is like an interactive, ongoing art gallery—people can come in and see the works that Rodney himself has created, and also browse similar items that fit with the cartoonish theme of the store.
122
odney got his start in New York City as a fine artist in the 1980s East Village art scene. In the 1990s, he began working as a character product designer for a division of Japan-based Sony. He would travel to Japan for assignments, and then return to New York City to work on his projects. Rodney is most well-known for the creation of the characters in the video game PaRappa the Rapper. (During this time, character products like Hello Kitty were really popular in Japan.) As he worked on creating the characters for the video game, he saved many sam-
ples, anticipating the day he might open his own storefront. Over a decade later, in May 2017, he opened The Rodney Shop. Rodney and his wife were familiar with the Hudson Valley—they had a weekend house in Ghent that they lived in while not in the city. In the early 2000s, they sold their weekend house, but they still loved the Hudson Valley and wanted to wind up there one day. When they decided to live upstate full-time, Catskill felt like the right fit for them. They bought a building with two storefronts and

opened up The Rodney Shop in one of them. (Their friend opened a kids’ accessory store in the other.) The Rodney Shop is like an interactive, ongoing art gallery—people can come in and see the works that Rodney himself has created, and also browse similar items that fit with the cartoonish theme of the store. 124
The shop attracts a wide range of people: tourists and passersby who are intrigued by the playfulness of the shop, locals who come by to purchase a unique gift for a special event, and fans who come by because they are familiar with Rodney’s work and want to collect his vintage wares. Items of all kinds are sold here, and Rodney assures us that there is something for everyone (not just kids!): t-shirts, prints, ceramics, stuffed animals, toys, and more.
Items of all kinds are sold here, and Rodney assures us that there is something for everyone (not just kids!)
Rodney speaks with a genuine calmness and an underlying trust in the process of a creative life—he’s always done freelance work and has carved his own path in the art world. Although he did have inquiries from major corporations like Disney and Viacom, he had a sense that those propositions weren’t always what they seemed to be. For now, he just sells his own products and artwork. Rodney enjoys being an independent, entrepreneurial artist because he can set his own schedule. Although that is a caveat to the job, as well—even though it’s art and it’s fun, the work still has to get done, and it’s a lot of work. But it’s all his own and allows him to continue the creative process while enjoying a peaceful life in the Catskills. In the future, Rodney may begin to sell prints from his own art collection, as he’ll eventually sell out of his own art. But no matter how the merchandise may evolve, a visit to this one-of-kind shop is sure to get your own creative juices flowing and put a smile on your face.

GARDEN
As we move into autumn, there is a way to bring more color, more interest, and more drama into your backyard: by planting fall-fruiting bushes. These will bring you the double benefit of colorful berries and the colorful birds that the berries attract. Many bird species gorge on fall berries before they migrate south, and many other species, like cardinals, nuthatches, and blue jays, stay for the winter and continue to feed off the berries in your garden. Want to attract more birds to your backyard? Start with these attractive, fall-fruiting favorites:
juniper
There are hundreds of varieties of juniper in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Junipers not only
Grey Owl: Grows in full sun. Grows 2 to 3 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide. Blueberry Delight: Grows in full sun to part shade. Grows to 2 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide.
Junipers not only provide a pretty blue berry, but they also provide good cover and choice nesting locations.

provide a pretty blue berry, but they also provide good cover and choice nesting locations. Good berry producers are Juniperus ‘Grey Owl’ and Juniperus ‘Blueberry Delight.’

viburnum
Viburnum plicatum tomentosum ‘Summer Snowflake’ is a Victoria Gardens favorite. It has very sophisticated bluegreen foliage and is covered in lacy white flowers from June until September. In the fall, the flowers are replaced by lacy red florets and egg-shaped berries. Grows in full sun. Grows 5 to 8 feet tall and wide.
132
b e au t y b e r ry
( image on intro page)
Callicarpa americana, commonly known as beautyberry, has more subtle summer flowers that cover its gracefully arching branches, but the real show comes in September when the branches are covered in candy-colored purple berries. Grow in full sun to part shade. Grows 3 to 5 feet tall and wide.
h o l ly
Like juniper, holly offers birds both evergreen shelter from predators and prolific fruit. It accentuates your winter garden with rich, deep green foliage. We love ‘Berryrific’ holly because a male and female are planted in one pot, ensuring prolific fruiting, and ‘Golden Girl’ holly for the exceptional color of its berries. Grows in part shade to full sun. Grows 6 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide (check variety).

That may be true, but keeping your dog or cat healthy and happy requires regular trips to the vet and finding good care for them while you are away. Earth Angels Veterinary Hospital provides both conventional and holistic approaches to checkups and healing, along with boarding facilities for both dogs and cats. With a one-on-one interactive approach, each pet— whether a hospitalized patient or a boarder— receives daily, individualized attention in a relaxing atmosphere.
“We want to offer the best care that works for you and that fits into your lifestyle.” –Dr. Alex, veterinarian At the helm of Earth Angels is a husband-and-wife team comprised of business manager Robert Codacovi and Dr. Alexandra Barrientos. Last year they moved their nine-year-old operation a few minutes down the road from their previous location to claim ownership of a tranquil, nine-acre spot located on Saint Nicholas Road in Wappingers Falls. The newly renovated animal hospital sits surrounded by a pond, manicured walkways, and a gazebo with scenic views for pets and owners to stroll and enjoy. 140
A visit to the vet may conjure up memories of a crowded waiting room, nervous animals, and stressed owners, but that is not the case at the new Earth Angels location. “We want to break that cycle of stress both for the owners and their pets,” says Robert. The entrance at Earth Angels was designed to look and feel more like a spa than a veterinary office. “The building is spacious. We have an electric fireplace, love seat sofas, spa music, and
aromatherapy scents,” says Robert. “Our plan is for clients to be able to relax inside as well as outside, either sitting by the fireplace, walking their dogs, relaxing in the gazebo, or even petting the mini-horses who are expected to arrive by the fall.” Moving the veterinary practice to a new location that offered a calmer, more enjoyable setting for pets and their owners was a challenge that involved extensive work. It started with gutting the

research. We look at the whole array of what medicine has to offer. We

complement of kennel assistants. Earth Angels provides treatment for chronic ailments and emergencies as well as regular checkups, vaccinations, supplements, and more.
Dr. Alex is a graduate of Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and has 20 years of experience as a veterinarian. Her staff includes two holistic veterinarians (acupuncturist Dr. Annie Viano and homeopathist Dr. Michelle Yasson),
The clinic uses conventional and alternative medicine, including herbal, homeopathic, and nutraceutical therapies, to treat beloved pets. “We provide what should be the future of veterinary medicine—integrative medicine,” says Dr. Alex. “We educate people. We do a lot of research in many different modalities to provide what is best for each patient. We look at the

In addition, they offer treatments to ensure your pet heals quickly after an injury or surgery. “We have certified technicians on staff implementing laser therapy” says Dr. Alex. Laser therapy (aka, photobiomodulation therapy) can be used to alleviate inflammation, injury pain, arthritis, and chronic pain, and to speed up the post-surgical healing process. When you visit this state-of-the-art facility, plan to set aside about a half hour for a regular visit. “We want to get to know you and what you’re looking for,” says Dr. Alex. “We want to offer the best care that works for you and that fits into your lifestyle. That takes time.” Another service they are pleased to
offer in their new location is boarding. “For the first time since 2009, we can now offer pet boarding,” says Robert. Pet boarding is limited to approximately 14 dogs and 10 cats with an emphasis upon individual attention and interaction.
Earth Angels Veterinary Hospital provides both conventional and holistic approaches to checkups and healing, along with boarding facilities for both dogs and cats.
In addition to raising two daughters, four dogs, three cats, and four goats at home, Dr. Alex and Robert attend to the needs of their patients and boarders. Whether you need someone to love your fur baby while you are away, or are seeking a veterinarian who will take the time to find the best treatment available, Earth Angels Veterinary Hospital is ready to provide everything you need for a healthy, happy pet.
