Only In Your State gave a glowing review to Woodstock Brewing in Phoenicia. Witt Wells says the brewery at 5581 NY-28 in Phoenicia "has some of the best eats" in New York State.
Today on Go Design Go’s travel guide series, Stefania Skrabak of Art Home Garden
takes readers to the Catskills of New York. A small, artsy upstate
town, Phoenicia is Stefania’s favorite place to visit for its relaxing,
outdoorsy vibe. Read on for her go-to spots to sleep, eat and shop, as
well as some “hidden treasures.”
Despite some grammatical and spelling faux pas, it makes for interesting reading.
Phoenicia is more about a feeling then it is a subject or a “to do.”
That is what’s inspiring. It’s about being outside and taking
inspiration from nature, the river, campfires, cocktails and friends.

The former Tiso’s Restaurant in Mount Tremper. Tania Barricklo — Daily Freeman
This one isn’t about sports — as in games — but it is about sports, as in good people, and a very special restaurant in Mount Tremper with a sporting background.
I am telling you all about this because that venerable trattoria called Tiso’s has closed its doors. That’s an awful shame for the people between here and the Isle of Capri who love this place.
Like myself, everyone wants Tisos to remain open forever.
Many of us Tiso-lovers remember the original Tiso of Tiso’s. That would be Joe’s father, Emilio, also referred to as Jack or Butch.
When William Pollien, a.k.a. “Billy the Baker,” completed a three-year apprenticeship in a bakery near Stuttgart, he told his German colleagues that he hoped to open his own bakery in the U.S. They laughed. “It was like I said, ‘I’m going to put up a sign in front of my house that says I’m a doctor and start practicing medicine,’” he recalls. “In Germany, you have to pass tests, and then the government gives you a license to open a bakery.”
Pollien did get a commercial license, but there were several twists in the road on the way to establishing his Machu Picchu Organic Bakery in Roxbury, Delaware County. He now supplies artisanal, traditionally made bread to Hurley Ridge Market near Woodstock, Boiceville Market, Hanover Farms in Mount Tremper, and supermarkets in Margaretville and Prattsville. From mid-May to mid-October, Pollien also sells at the weekly Pakatakan Farmer’s Market at the Round Barn in Halcottsville.
