Just across the street from my cousin's restaurant sits the Old Chatham Country Store. I can remember going here as a very young boy and buying pop cycles for 10 cents. The Old Chatham Country Store & Café, first known as the Federal Store, has been a landmark since 1787 in the village square of Old Chatham. Stop into this café for breakfast or lunch, or grab any of their freshly-made house specialties to take with you on your Hudson Valley adventures. (8 min)

The pastry crusts are prepared with Bob's Red Mill flours, premium butter and sometimes enriched with olive oil, herbs & cheeses.

Just like the Crandall... Main St Chatham seems to stop in time. I roamed this street when I was a boy. Picking up shoes at Browns shoe store, playing with bouncy balls down in Delson's basement and getting a hair cut at Joe's Barbershop. The stores have changed but the charm hasn't. Find a parking spot and take a walk back in time. (8 min)
