Nestled just 120 miles north of Manhattan, New York’s Catskills beckon with rolling storybook farmland, dome-shaped mountain peaks, and enchanting towns steeped in both history and creativity. The region is vast and magnetic thanks to scenic vistas, cascading waterfalls, and ever-evolving havens for city escape artists and nature enthusiasts alike. Here, purpose-driven farms offer roadside stands, while chic lodges blend seamlessly with historic villages revitalized by artistic flair. Galleries and small boutiques dot the landscape, showcasing a creative scene fueled by urban transplants and locals alike. Hotels, too, carry the region’s tradition with hearty fare crafted from locally sourced ingredients; Tannersville’s Hotel Lilien reflects the region’s commitment to sustainable and delicious dining experiences. In Callicoon, the Seminary Hill (and especially its Tasting Room) rounds out the journey with a seasonal menu that showcases the bounty of the Delaware River Valley, inviting diners to savor flavors deeply rooted in the Catskills’ agricultural heritage.
