We have all heard of Woodstock, and for most of us, what comes to mind is one of the most infamous wild and crazy music festivals of all time, one that attracted 400 thousand people in the summer of 1969 to upstate New York in the Catskills region. Nearly 5 decades later a small town by the same name keeps the spirit of 1969 alive!
As you walk down Tinker Street the smell of Patchouli oil and incense coupled with peace signs and psychedelic colors transports you back in time in the most charming way. The main drag is lined with eclectic shops and restaurants. Goods from Native American jewelry to hand blown glass to food ranging from delicious tacos to award winning cupcakes fill the real estate between the art galleries and studios. This is a great place to spend a day and relax. Peace, Love, and Music for all!
Our Woodstock Food Picks:
Tinker Taco Lab: There are 2 sides to Tinker Taco Lab: one side is counter service with tacos and beer, the other side is a bar type setup serving food, beer, and liquor. Situated on the creek off of Tinker Street, this taco lab has a laid back vibe. The tortillas are made of local NON-GMO corn and varieties of taco range from chicken to barbacoa to vegetarian. If you love tacos, stop by Tinker Taco Lab.
Peace Love and Cupcakes: Next door to Tinker Taco Lab is a small cupcake shop with big flavor. So big, that both the Old Fashioned Chocolate Cupcake and the Pretzel Hippie Chipper Sandwich cookie have won awards on the Food Network! Gluten Free cupcakes are also available (YAY!). My favorite: Gluten Free Peanut Butter Swirl Cupcake with Chocolate Icing. Make sure you save room for these delightful desserts!!
