Forks In The Road
Mind the exits in the road just slightly off Route 22 in New York—they lead you to more opportunities for good eating.
Roe Jan Brewing Co.
The Lantern Inn
10 Main Street, Wassaic
A one-minute detour off Route 22 takes you to this hipster spot next to the Wassaic Project that’s famous for its Brooklyn-style pizzas. It serves good burgers and wings, too. The expansive outdoor dining area includes a fire pit and plenty of space for kids to run free unsupervised.
Serevan
6 Autumn Lane, Amenia
If you’re in the mood for a proper sit-down dinner (indoors or al fresco) that will dazzle your taste buds, turn left at the lone trafic light in Amenia and drive half a mile to the charming farmhouse owned by chef Serge Madikians, whose beautiful food pays homage to his Armenian and Iranian roots.
Oakhurst Diner
19 Main Street, Millerton
Literally just seconds off Route 22, the Oakhust has been dishing up gentrified diner food in a vintage setting for more than a decade. There’s seating under umbrella tables in warm weather and an eclectic menu that includes organic burgers, meatloaf sandwiches, avocado toast, and credible versions of pho and bánh mì.
Dad’s Copake Diner
178 County Route 7A, Copake
It’s worth the three-minute detour to dine at the whimsical diner with a `50s vibe and generous portions including a cheeseburger deluxe platter that lives up to its name.
Copake General Store
171 County Route 7A, Copake
Across the street from Dad’s Copake Diner, every town should be lucky enough to have a market with such a variety of groceries, well-made sandwiches, and fresh-baked goods.
Roe Jan Brewing Company
32 Anthony Street, Hillsdale
Less than a quarter mile off Route 22, Roe Jan Brewing Company is a contemporary craft brewery and pub. The brewhouse boasts a rotating lineup of beers along with an inventive pub menu that features wood-fired food made from scratch.
