Right in the heart of Cairo, NY (the closest town). Delicious croissants and freshly wood-oven baked breads are phenomenal, and there is also a well-curated Pantry with Momofoku ramen kits, great tinned fish, many hard-to-find condiments and more. Also now offering ready-made hot sandwiches which are decadent and delicous, and a take-home meal menu which makes dinner/lunch tasty and convenient. Plus, you can now go enjoy your treats on a bench at the new Black Bear Park right across the street

Gardens, Arboretums, Plants

Gorgeous views and interesting plants. Great for a calming walk, or a great place for plant nerds to spend the day! The new education center is built with locally harvested wood, with different native species highlighted throughout the building, and the garden surrounding it is designed entirely with plants native to the mountaintop.
