📷 A midweek afternoon glimpse inside one of the Catskills’ most well-known eateries, going on 40(ish) years: Phoenicia Diner.

ℹ️ Famous for their pancakes, loved for their service, and more recently the object of prestige TV fandom and hype as the filming location for Pip’s Bar & Grille on Severance. 🥞🐐

📍 Phoenicia Diner, NY-28, Phoenicia, New York

Even though we think the pancakes, breakfast sausages, and boozy milkshakes are *well* worth the weekend wait, I’m all about that slow, relaxed, down home vibe — the type of rhythm you can only catch midweek.

ℹ️ Pro tips: Want to avoid the weekender crowds? Go when everyone else isn’t. 😉

Once rapidly growing commercial marvels, casual dining chains — sit-down restaurants where middle-class families can walk in without a reservation, order from another human and share a meal — have been in decline for most of the 21st century. https://nyti.ms/3F1NxcP

📍 Enjoying the rivertown views from historic Kingston’s TR Gallo Park on a recent sunny day, looking west toward the Wurts Street Bridge (aka Rondout Creek Bridge or Old Bridge) 🌉

✨ This waterfront promenade is such a delight to stroll along. Perfect for a walk after a meal in one of Kingston, New York’s many awesome restaurants.🍴❤️

🐐 Also, FYI, the Wurts Street Bridge, which was only recently reopened after a years-long refurbishment, was also used as a filming location for Apple TV+’s Severance, which, if you follow this account, you may or may not have realized I’ve been into, lately 😅 🎥

Kaaterskill Falls
Circa 1900

The Kaaterskill Falls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, being depicted or described by many books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century. Beginning with Thomas Cole's first visit during 1825 they became a subject for painters of the Hudson River School, setting the wilderness ideal for American landscape painting. The Falls also inspired "Catterskill Falls", a poem by William Cullen Bryant.
