Food Scene
Great Vegan food even if you're not a Vegan (so good for mixed marriages as ours is) - excellent Lasagna and Pasta with Pesto - Carey's favorite is the Portobella Panini. Also yummy vegan chocolate ice-cream.

New ice-cream parlor - a must visit. Check out the Lemon Lavender ice cream or the Sour Cream Cherry! Also they do vegan ice-cream and sorbets. A pint to take home costs $9 (menu is at the house). It's slightly off the beaten track, just past the old railway station.

A small, intimate venue and musician-focused concerts. There is usually a pot luck before the concert so bring a contribution. There isn't a bar but you can bring your own drinks. Gate opens 90 mins before the concert. NB:-not handicapped accessible - there's stairs up to the barn where the concerts are.

Shopping
Always has really nice designs but probably more suitable for older women (like me). There are lots of other cool clothing options for young women in Woodstock - also nearby Saugerties (Partition St) is worth a visit for shopping.

Sightseeing
A genuine Tibetan Monestery, KTD for short, is the North American seat of His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, head of the 900-year-old Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and guide to millions of Buddhists around the world. Beautifully situated above Woodstock, KTD is worth a visit.

Beautifully situated above Woodstock, KTD is worth a visit.
Before or after visiting the KTD Tibetan Monastery on Meads Mountain Rd, take a trek up Overlook Mountain to get a view of three counties - you can see all the way to the Berkshires. Also you get a great view of the valley as first seen by the artist Bolton Brown in 1903, who then persuaded Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead and his wife Jane Byrd McCall to found the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony here - originally they were thinking of Virginia. The name Byrdcliffe is a combo of Jane's middle name and his. Budget a good couple of hours each way for this trek - and add another hour for exploring the burned out shell of the Overlook Mountain House.

This venue is really worth a visit - Maverick Concerts is the oldest continuous summer chamber music festival in America. The festival was founded in 1916 by Hervey White, a defector from the Byrdcliffe Art Colony (hense: Maverick). The mainstay of the series, which runs end of June - early September, is in the chamber music concerts performed by distinguished soloists and ensembles on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Jazz and world music have been given more prominence in recent seasons, and Maverick's Saturday morning Young People’s Concerts are popular with families. Much of the above is from Wikepedia, but you also will get some theatrical and comedy performance by local actors.

There are always things going on up there. In summer there are kid's theater programs taught by Shauna Kanter of Voice Theater. It's part of the old Byrdcliffe Colony so also really worth driving up there and spotting old "Woodstocky" houses.

Independent cinema - a cute little movie theater that shows excellent films most of which won't appear in your average commercial movie theater. I'm saying it's good for families (kids) but that's not always going to be true.
In winter they turn on this heating system on the ceiling that bears a disconcerting resemblance to something you'd find in an oven. Advice: position yourself so you're not immediately under it getting cooked :O
