Where Do Gunks Climbers Like to Eat?
We asked the Gunks climbing community on our GCC Facebook page, what their favorite post-climbing restaurant in the Gunks was and which were their favorite dishes? Here’s what they said:
- Agnieszka Gać-Chlebosz: Burger and spaetzle at the Brauhaus!
- Terrie Marcoe: That’s my first choice usually too – what a bargain at the price.
- Betsy Gelvin: Can’t beat the $10 bottle of red at Bacchus!
- Chip Nippert: Brauhaus, klops and spaetzle.
- Marco Fedrizzi: I think we all know the answer to that hands down . Your answer is right at the base of the Trapps on Rt. 44 .
- Gustav P. Rech: Can only be the Brauhaus the sight of my first post-climb gunkburger!
- Spurgeon Thompson: Spring Chicken Salad at The Brauhaus.
- Terrie Marcoe: That is SO delicious – one of my faves too.
- Christine Foltzer: Brauhaus!
- Kyle Gilstrap: Pot roast at the Brauhaus. Beer
- Charles Pechousek: Brauhaus or Main Course
- Ka Tie: Gilded Otter !!!
- Keith Perry: The Otter. We used to go to the Brauhaus but if there’s more than ten people in there I takes a life time to get your food. Main Course is yummy also.
- Luc Monod: NOT THE GILDED OTTER. They never change their menu. Why advertise WiFi when it doesn’t work?
- Amy Colburn: A salmon burger on the back deck of the Otter!
- Rick Pascucci: Guilded Otter, the beeeeer
- Peter Collins: Anything freshly brewed from the Gilded Otter!
- Terrie Marcoe: Brauhaus first, as an overall great place. Ka Tie: Gilded Otter !!! for a steak quesadilla, if I have the patience to deal with the crowded wait, and Main Street Bistro for their bargain breakfast special and the pasta with salmon in Asiago cheese sauce – Overcliff or Undercliff, I forget which it is named.
- Evan Picard: The shwineshank (sp?) From the Brauhaus. Wings from McGillicuddy’s.
- Phil Powers: Brauhaus then Bacchus
- Ryan Conklin: Bacchus, taco special and beers!!!
- Paul Garasimowicz: Bacchus! Beer!
- Lindsey Haynos Walkoe: Mountain Brauhaus is great….. If u have a few hours….. Mexicali on the way out…… Some of the best mex food….. Staff and service……. Not so much!
- Paul Bracey: Oh my! So many good options, but I love the Shrimp and Goat Cheese Quesadillas at Bacchus!
- Nick James: Bacchus, chicken wrap, killer
- Jacki Santiago: Bacchus!!!! For literally all of their amazing food especially the tilapia sammich!!
- Victoria Rowitt: Bacchus shrimp and goat cheese quesadillas!
- Jack Straw: Bacchus!!!
- Simon Kozin: The Otter is ok but doesn’t excite.
- Margot Melisa Ferencz: All the food at New Paltz Indian restaurant is delicious!
- Isabel Rodriguez: Veggie burger at Brauhaus is amazing.
- Luc Monod: Main Course, great eats, good price, bring your own, big tables for groups
- Eric Lutz: Tokyo Sushi!
- Greg Rafalski: Pasquale’s
- Dan Africk: Karma Road is also great, but I think they close early, so I mainly use it for breakfast. Great burritos, sandwiches, and smoothies
