INSTACART (requires account)
Honestly our favorite way to get groceries during our stay is to let someone else do it! ShopRite via Instacart is our go-to for fast delivery and a great selection. If you don’t already have an account, use the code: SDEMERSON1A31A1 for $10 off your order!
SHOPRITE (22 minute drive)
Clean, well-stocked, good selection of vegan and organic foods, produce, and anything you’d get at a major supermarket. Fast delivery via Instacart..
MONTICELLO GREEN MARKET (14 minute drive)
A small health food store with organic produce, house-made sushi, and Korean food. Their hours can be funky so call to confirm before heading over
+1 (845) 794-4943
WALMART (23 minute drive)Can be a bit overwhelming to navigate but also available via Instacart.
PECK’S MARKET OF ELDRED (18 minute drive)A little closer and a nice drive. Not the nicest, cleanest store but easy to shop.

FORESTBURGH GENERAL (7 minute drive)
Grab & go lattes, delicious breakfast sandwiches, bagels. and fresh baked cookies. If you’re lucky there’s a perfect not-too-sweet carrot cake.
MONTICELLO BAGEL BAKERY (16 minute drive)Legit really good bagels. Stock up for your stay.
MISS MONTICELLO DINER (16 minute drive)Sometimes you just want a good old fashioned diner. Cure your hangovers with their Challah French Toast or their version of a Grand Slam called The Big Breakfast.

FORESTBURGH GENERAL (7 minute drive)
Call in and pick up your lunch order for very well made, tasty sandwiches. The Nick and The Kent are especially good.
MONTICELLO GREEN MARKET (14 minute drive)It’s a small market that happens to make really good fresh sushi and korean food to-go (no dine-in). We love their Japchae, Bulgogi Beef, Spicy Ramen, and Deep Fried Veggie Spring Rolls.
SALT AND PEPPER IN THE KITCHEN (15 minute drive)
Only open weekdays. The Bibimbap and Bulgogi Platter are good here.
BIG KEV’S BBQ (19 minute drive)BBQ so good you’ll be dreaming about long after it’s done. Be sure to check their IG for daily hours and menu.
THE LOCAL TABLE AND TAP / BENJI AND JAKES (22 minute drive)
These two restaurants share a building and most of the menu. Either is a great casual place to dine-in overlooking White Lake, where bald eagles can be seen enjoying their own meals at the same time. The menu is diverse with lots of options. The truffle fries are memorable.
WADADLI JERK @BARRYVILLE GENERAL (24 minute drive)
Real jerk was one of the last things you might have expected to be able to get in the Catskills but fortunately, Barryville General has hooked us up. Open hours are spotty so always call first.

Thursday - Sunday
FORAGE PIZZA (7 minute drive)Edible manhattan
To visit Forestburgh without getting a Forage pizza would be pizza sacrilege. The food is worth the ‘tude here. You probably won’t get service with a smile but you’ll be smiling after you try their pizza. On a nice day, their outdoor-only picnic bench seating is lovely but we prefer ordering for pickup (though there is a max takeout of 4 pies). Our favorites are the Farmstand Salad, the Bean Dip, and the Diavola pizza. Be warned: When they say “NO SUBSTITUTIONS” they mean it. Check their insta for menu and hours.
MEMITO’S TACOS & DELI (14 minute drive)One great thing about the area is that you can get fresh authentic, affordable Mexican food from this new, reliable taqueria.
EL TEQUILERO (14 minute drive)
We like to order and pick up delicious, authentic Mexican food from here. The Huaraches are on the money. The Horchata and Jamaica Agua Frescas are perfect.

FORESTBURGH GENERAL (7 minute drive)
Excellent craft / local beer selection. Have Tyler recommend one for you.
FORESTBURGH WINE AND SPIRITS (7 minute drive)
The secret door behind Forestburgh General leads to a tiny wine and indie spirits shop. Many local distillers represented.
KAZ’s WINE AND LIQUORS (23 minute drive)If you need to stock up on party wine and booze, this place has all the standards. They also carry an exceptional, hard to find tequila called Curamia which we highly recommend.

Summer Saturdays
BARRYVILLE FARMER’S MARKET (24 minute drive)
This is the best place to stock up on good vibes and seasonal veggies for the grill.
Summer SundaysCALLICOON FARMER’S MARKET (40 minute drive)
Worth the drive. Spend the day on the river eating fresh fruit and veggies. We love the Spiced Cilantro Jalapeño Chili pepper Sauce from Soraias’s Kitchen with anything.
