Fodor's Expert Review Main Street Farm

The best reason to visit this always-busy shop is the café, where sandwiches are made to order and packed in boxes, making them perfect for impromptu picnics. There are also a couple of tables inside and on the sidewalk where you can enjoy favorites like the Root Cellar (kale and pistachio pesto with pickled beets) or the Catskill Comfort (ham from a nearby farm with organic lettuce and sweet-and-hot mustard from Brooklyn). This shop is one of the few places where you can buy smoked fish from nearby streams and hormone-free dairy products from farms scattered along the hillsides.
