If you need shoes for running or hiking, this is the place to go. Good selection and knowledgeable staff.
Cheap, decent Chinese food and sushi. Wish it were closer to the center of town, though.
Exceptional dining, great bars, one of the best brewpubs around (Bacchus), two record stores, and all the organic food you could want. New Paltz brings the Age of Aquarius into the 21st century.
Excellent selection and a knowledgable staff. If you prefer analog music to digital, this is the place to go.
Cozy store with an eclectic collection. This is the kind of bookstore we've lost to Barnes and Noble and Amazon. It's a treasure.
Their coffee is some of the best in the Hudson Valley. Great espresso drinks, too.
Quintessential New Paltz place. Get here early - the wait on weekends is impressively long.
The food is respectable, but the ambience is unbeatable. Eat on the deck, as close to the water as possible. Or, come later when it turns into one of the Hudson Valley's larger nightlife destinations.
Great food and great atmosphere. Their pepper-crusted salmon is particularly good, as is their Steak au Poivre.
