Homemade!
We have a couple of pizza stones and a paddle. Grab dough and toppings at the grocery store. Pre-heat both ovens and stones to 500 degrees. Make the pizza on the paddle and slide it onto the stone. Cook for about 7 mins, then start checking until it’s done.

Big, fresh sandwiches.
Folsom Point Provisions (Margaretville)

GREAT MEALS
It’s hard to hire and keep restaurant staff in the Catskills, so the experience can vary. But these are our favourites.
Kimchee Harvest Kitchen (Roxbury)
Local family farm. Used to run family-style meals with communal tables. Not sure if they still do; call ahead. Highly recommend.
Catskill Momos (Delhi)
Amazing Tibetan dumplings prepared by a retired Culinary Institute of America professor. Our kids’ favorite. Read about it here. (Temporarily closed for renovation.)
Brushland Eating House (Bovina)
Brooklyn visits the Catskills. Reserve in advance.
Bovina Farm & Fermentory (Bovina)
A beautiful meal with local ingredients and their own beer.
The Bull & Garland (Hobart)
Classic British gastropub. We’ve had two amazing meals, one pretty good meal. Depends on if they have enough staff that night. (May also be temporarily closed as the owners try to sell the business.)
The Ark Bowl (Margaretville)
BBQ and throwback bowling. What could be better?
