Food Scene

It meets all food-type needs. It has comfort food, vegetarian, vegan-friendly, meat eaters, farm-to-table. Nice vibe there and interesting dishes. Service pace is more European. You'll be there a while, because every meal has multiple courses.

Locals know it at "Nana's" but the secondary name is Creative Cafe. Two words: Crazy Eggs! They're special. They are closed on Sundays and easy to miss, but worth it! Great coffee and baked goods too. They're located just after you make the left toward Woodstock village on the left across from the Woodstock Playhouse in the shopping center with the Tattoo studios and the interior design showplace.

Brooklyn is one of the food centers of the universe, as far as we're concerned. We look forward to visits up to our Woodstock house and fit a trip to Diego's EVERY TIME. I dream about it sometimes. It's that good. Check out the historic cemetery nearby while you're there.

They just did a renovation and updated their menu AND now have a bar! We were walking on Wall Street and looking at the menu and someone came up behind us and said, "Go in! They're fantastic!" We did and he was right. Again, Brooklyn is a center for Greek food. This place has authentic Greek food and the main ingredient is love. Second ingredient is the passion of the owner. Third ingredient is great service by the friendly staff. LOVE Opa!

It's a casual pace, because everything is made to order, so if you're pressed for time, save this for another day. Order the fresh squeezed OJ if you go and watch it being squeezed in the GIANT machine! Wow! They can accommodate larger parties, but don't go if you're in a hurry.

Parks & Nature

This is the mountain you can see from our house and backyard. It's great for photographers, hikers, outdoorsy people. The hike is rated as easy, but it has challenges (steep) for sure. The views are special! Hike with a friend. Take breaks. Bring water. Watch for snakes.

There's a small parking lot beyond and you have to walk on the main road to get there, but the falls here are gorgeous and you can actually dip your feet in as well. Our family loves this spot! A serene waterfall. You'll barely notice other people are there, because the falls are the only thing you hear. And if you're wading in the water, you can only feel happiness. It's a magical place!
