Some travelers may be attracted to our state’s exciting cities, but you’ll find more and more people nowadays are in search of exploring New York’s small towns. Previously, we’ve covered how gems of the Finger Lakes like Hammondsport have been considered by many to be one of America’s coolest small towns, but there’s another destination down in the Catskills that’s been picking up traction for quite some time now. Roughly two hours away from Manhattan and less than an hour and a half away from Albany, many who are living in urban areas continue to seek out this town to escape from it all. Keep reading to find out why our residents love taking getaways here.
Cozied up in our Catskill Mountains with only a population of just over 300 New Yorkers, Phoenicia has become quite the popular place to visit over the last 15 years.
Graham and Co. is less than a mile away from Main Street, offering a variety of different room sizes to those who are interested in exploring the area.
Open on Saturdays and Sundays during the fall, shopping for vintage items while you're here on a weekend getaway works out perfectly. You'll walk away with more treasures and memories than you had imagined!
But you wouldn't really have really visited an actual Catskills town if you didn't do something outdoors right? Good thing there's mountains like Mount Tremper to climb!
Before heading out of town you won't want to miss out on exploring places like the Phoenicia Diner or Brio's Pizzeria that have gained quite a following.
