Voted Best Restaurant in Hudson Valley 2013 & 2014, Best Pasta in the Hudson Valley 2014 and Best Italian Restaurant in the Hudson Valley by Hudson Valley Magazine 2013

It's the story of the place that draws people here ( the food is great too ... try the clam chowder). From their website:
Pat & George’s — In 1947 Dick’s Bar and Grill was purchased by two Lake Mohonk employees, Pat Cafferty and George Jayne. Legend has it that neither told their wives of their intention to purchase the business. They immediately changed the grill’s name to Pat and George’s. Among its soon loyal customers, it was simply “P&G’s”.
The Stormy Years
One of the best things to happen to P&G’s occurred in 1951. An ex-Dodgers baseball player named Storm Nickerson became the bartender. Stormy, as he was affectionately known, became something of a legend. His kind heart, good humor, and generous spirit made P and G’s the one place that welcomed all from the harsher outside world into a refuge for college students, business people, local characters, and even for a while in the 1960’s, “bikers”. According to one source, “They weren’t as rowdy a crew as you might expect because although he was quiet, Stormy commanded and got respect.” His professional baseball background made him a natural to pitch batting practice for the New Paltz College teams, and he did so for a number of seasons. One college fraternity, the Kappas, considered P and G’s their private domain, the scene of everything important: news, views, camaraderie — and especially — humor.
After the Mount St. Helens volcano erupted and news reports discussed the possibility of considerable ash fall-out across the US, Stormy came to work to find the staff dressed in garbage bags with metal kitchen colanders on their heads. Since no ash was reported on anyone, Stormy reasoned the attire had been effective by making everyone in New Paltz laugh their ash off.
In June 1991, after 40 years, Stormy retired from P&G’s. He died in June of 1994. From his casual humor that lingers, to his Chili recipe we still serve, and the fond memories often repeated by his many friends, Stormy lives on here.
Ed Beck’s Party
In 1969, Edwin Beck bought P&G’s. His first weekend as owner was completely successful. The following weekend, however, the place was deserted. A disheartened Beck couldn’t understand what he had done to alienate everyone – and so quickly! He was relieved to learn it was simply a matter of poor timing; everyone was away mud-wallowing in a farm field in Bethel, NY … a music festival, or something …
Ed Beck never spent time worrying. He looked across Main Street and down Plattekill Avenue, eyeing the thousands of thirsty SUNY New Paltz College students who, for the most part, remained on campus. Taking a good supply of liquid refreshment, Beck went to the campus and threw a well-received free party. In doing so, he introduced PandG’s to a wider audience and gave the students (all legal in those days) a new place to call home. He transformed PandG’s from a neighborhood bar into a local institution.
The force of Beck’s personality had much to do with the continued success of P&G’s — the place was fun. One oft quoted story about Beck concerns a young P&G’s enthusiast who admitted he wanted to be just like Beck when he grew up. It is reported that Beck in all humility replied, “Well, son, you can’t do both.”
P&G’s – It’s Official
The name, Pat & George’s, was officially changed to P&G’s in the 1980’s by Ed Beck and his son, Mike. In 1985, Mike bought out his father’s interest. In January 1994, he undertook extensive renovations making the building exterior appear more as it did in 1900, when it was The Casino.
In 2019 P&G’s closed for three weeks and underwent a substantial renovation. The space occupied by Cindy Ricci’s Barbershop for 24 years was incorporated into P&G’s allowing for a larger bar area and an expanded and improved kitchen. With this renovation came the end of an era marked by the loss of “The Trough” in the men’s room.
Mike Beck continues to run P&G’s. Mike’s daughter Kristen and son Mike Jr. continue to assume managerial roles as P&G’s transitions to the next generation.
The atmosphere today is inviting and allows you to settle right into the casual setting. P&G’s is a regular lunch and dinner stop for many locals and tourists alike.

The Gadaleto family has been serving the Hudson Valley since way back when Grandpa Nat sold fish on the corner in Highland. In 1945, he opened a grocery store on Vineyard Ave, boasting quality meats and seafood. Both his parents, (Great-Grandpa Angelo and Great-Grandma Lena), and his brother Frank all worked with Nat. Having immigrated from Bari, Italy, they were living the American Dream. Eventually, anybody with the name Gadaleto took their turn helping out in the family business.
The New Paltz location was opened by Nat's son, Steve in 1979 and has since grown into an award winning fish market and restaurant run by Steve's daughter, Stacie.
Gadaleto’s Seafood Market has the largest selection of wild caught and sustainably farmed seafood in the Hudson Valley. While the major chains have just made commitments to sourcing sustainable seafood, we have been using the guidelines set forth by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Marine Stewardship Council and other groups to guide our purchases for years. Through adopting these guidelines we do our part in securing a sustainable future for the global fishing industry.

UPPER LANDING HISTORY
The Upper Landing is a foundational location for both the city of Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County. It first served as a hunting and fishing ground for Native Americans for thousands of years, and it became one of the first areas in Dutchess County settled by Europeans. It served as homestead, mill site, commercial dock, Revolutionary War depot, industrial hub, and electrical power generation source for its surrounding area. In its newest phase, the Upper Landing has become a park, open to all who wish to enjoy its beauty and its history.

This preserve offers a cornucopia of treats for nature lovers — wildflower-filled grasslands, woods, a waterfall and pond, stunning rock formations and an abundance of wildlife, including beaver, deer, coyotes and turkeys. Just as impressive are the vistas, stretching to the Hudson River and, once the leaves fall, the Catskill Mountains. This natural splendor, combined with the rugged terrain, makes Shaupeneak Ridge one of the region’s prime destinations for mountain biking and trail running. At whatever speed you go, you’ll feel amply rewarded.

The Walkway over the Hudson (also known as the Poughkeepsie Bridge, Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge, Poughkeepsie–Highland Railroad Bridge, and High Bridge) is a steel cantilever bridge spanning the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie, New York, on the east bank and Highland, New York, on the west bank. Built as a double track railroad bridge, it was completed on January 1, 1889, and formed part of the Maybrook Railroad Line of the New Haven Railroad.
It was taken out of service on May 8, 1974, after it was damaged by fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and its entry updated in 2008. The bridge was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2009.
It was reopened on October 3, 2009, as a pedestrian walkway as part of the new Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park. The New York State Bridge Authority owns and is charged with maintaining the bridge structure (as directed by the Governor and Legislature in July, 2010). The park is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. In 2017, the walkway hosted 593,868 visitors. The park connects the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in Highland to the Dutchess Rail Trail, and forms part of the Empire State Trail.
At a length of 6,768 feet (2,063 m), it is the world's second-longest pedestrian footbridge at 1.28 miles long. It held the title as the longest footbridge from its opening until fall 2016, when it was surpassed by the 7,974-foot long (2,430 m) Mile Into the Wild Walkway at 1.51 miles in length.

61 Parker AveThe Walkway over the Hudson (also known as the Poughkeepsie Bridge, Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge, Poughkeepsie–Highland Railroad Bridge, and High Bridge) is a steel cantilever bridge spanning the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie, New York, on the east bank and Highland, New York, on the west bank. Built as a double track railroad bridge, it was completed on January 1, 1889, and formed part of the Maybrook Railroad Line of the New Haven Railroad.
It was taken out of service on May 8, 1974, after it was damaged by fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and its entry updated in 2008. The bridge was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2009.
It was reopened on October 3, 2009, as a pedestrian walkway as part of the new Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park. The New York State Bridge Authority owns and is charged with maintaining the bridge structure (as directed by the Governor and Legislature in July, 2010). The park is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. In 2017, the walkway hosted 593,868 visitors. The park connects the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in Highland to the Dutchess Rail Trail, and forms part of the Empire State Trail.
At a length of 6,768 feet (2,063 m), it is the world's second-longest pedestrian footbridge at 1.28 miles long. It held the title as the longest footbridge from its opening until fall 2016, when it was surpassed by the 7,974-foot long (2,430 m) Mile Into the Wild Walkway at 1.51 miles in length.
