NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, you’re welcome totake a seat at the Roscoe Diner!

The world-famous restaurant is easy to spot just offRoute 17’s (future Interstate 86’s) Exit 94, sitting rightwhere many a traveler gets off the highway to headupstate.

That’s made the diner – and its hometown of Roscoe,NY – a major and memorable destination since theQuickway (Route 17) first opened in the 1960s. In-deed, you’ll find many a college pennant adorning theshiny walls, testament to the enduring popularity ofthis legendary waystop.

Open every day from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., you canfind out more (and hungrily ogle the menu) attheroscoediner.com. Or just stop in at 1908 Old Route17 in Roscoe! (Free tip: try the deep friend Frenchtoast ...)


A Buffalo chicken wrap accompanied by fries, cole slaw and a pickle (above) is standard delicious fare at the Roscoe Diner in Roscoe, NY (below). The Route 17 landmark is a favorite amongst thousands of travelers, offering everythingfrom Greek moussaka to American burgers, broiled scallops to vegetable primavera. Desserts are as legendary asthe diner itself, including this sinfully enjoyable serving of chocolate cream pie (below right)!

ake your pick: drop in for a beer,stay for dinner or spend the night.

Whatever your choice, CatskillMountains Resort lives up to its all-encom-passing name.

After all, where else in Sullivan County’sCatskills can you choose between a rusticcabin, courtyard room or bed-and-breakfastsuite to lay your head?

Or between two bars – inside the laid-back atmosphere of Zac’s WildernessLounge, or surrounded by bottles of fine

wine inside the main resort? Or find a private, 65,000-gallon heated

saltwater pool?General Manager Ronnie Lambros is justly

proud of the Barryville, NY resort, pointingout that much of what appears brand newis in fact part of an historic forest getawayonce deeply connected to the former Yu-goslavia.

“They sent their Olympian gymnasts hereto train,” she points out on a memorabletour of the grounds.

or the best explanation of what theCatskill Art Society (CAS) offers, turn toExecutive Director Bradley Diuguid.

“It’s the perfect place to dig into what Ilove,” he says.

And for you and your family, too, for CAS isnot simply an art gallery but a haven for creativ-ity – puppetry, photography, yoga, film, andcutting-edge technology among the offerings.

This is, after all, the nonprofit organizationwhich mounts the penultimate perennial gather-ing of Livingston Manor, NY: the utterly uniqueTrout Parade and Arts Festival, in partnershipwith the Livingston Manor Chamber of Com-merce.

Or perhaps you’ve visited during the holidays,when Trains on Main arrives at CAS’ homealong Manor’s Main Street, filling the Arts Centerwith the huffs and puffs of model trains wend-

ing their way through holiday-decorated minia-ture towns.

But if that’s all you’ve seen – or you’ve nevervisited CAS to begin with – then go, now, to ex-perience what has truly become the creativeheartbeat of the southern Catskills.

“We offer a year-round season of concerts,shows and readings,” notes Bradley, “and most

of them are free.”Computer, painting and photography classes

are frequently available, too, including for chil-dren and teens. And, of course, there are theexhibits of professional and amateur painters,photographers, sculptors and craftspeople,housed in three wide open, naturally lit spacesfronting Main Street.

Indeed, the building lends itself to such uses,as this once was the community’s movie house– and Bradley and company are aiming to res-urrect that legacy.

The unfinished upstairs is being designed as a99-seat performance venue, along with furtherspace for exhibitions in a cavernous roomwhere Bradley hopes to showcase the works ofnationally and internationally known artists.

And more is coming, with plans to create anoutdoor courtyard as part of the now-in-devel-opment Riverwalk along the famed Willowe-moc, which literally flows through CAS’ backyard.

“We’ve grown by such great strides,” Bradleynods. “We’re scaling up to our ambition.”

That even includes a renovated laundromatwithin walking distance of the Arts Center.

Candy Spilner’s three-dimensional paintings most recentlygraced the walls of the Arts Center.

The well-lit, airy spaces of the Catskill Art Society’s ArtsCenter lend themselves well to artistic presentations.

Jayoung Yoon’s “Empty Void 05” (2015) will be featured in“Intricate Realities” at the Arts Center March 19-April 17.

Phil Jacobi transformed the Elevator Gallery (inside theshaft of the to-be-installed elevator) into a living forest.

Called the Laundry King, it was repurposedby other community members, then broughtunder CAS’ oversight.

“We thought it would be a great space tospotlight local people, alternative artists andas a do-it-yourself space,” Bradley explains.

CAS excels at combining that DIY local at-titude with the influence of the massive met-ropolitan region just two hours to thesoutheast.

“We do cast the net wide and encourageartists to apply,” he says, with a panel pick-ing artwork based purely on merit – consis-

tently turning up with about half local artistsand half from the New York City area. “Wewant to be an advocate and a creative homefor people transplanting themselves here.”

Indeed, a prime focus is to offer something“just as good as you can see in the city,”Bradley affirms.

So consider this your invitation to Liv-ingston Manor this winter, spring, summer orfall to see what you’ve been missing.

“People can come up for a day trip andsee a really great exhibition,” promisesBradley. “… And maybe get to know theCatskills, too!”

There’s nothing quite like the magic of liveplays and musicals, and there’s nothing quitelike the Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop

(SCDW), established in 1950.“We want to be the place you want to come to,” af-

firms Heather Strauss, the SCDW’s president.To do that, they assemble a cast of community volun-

teers of all ages – from kids to senior citizens – to de-sign and build sets, sell tickets, write press releases,rehearse lines and then put it all together on the stageof the historic Rivoli Theatre.

The moment the curtain rises, you’re witness to the cul-mination of all that effort, and the results are often amaz-ing. These are, after all, unpaid actors, set designers,musicians, stage crew and house staff who are workingin sync to ensure you have an unforgettable visit.

You are indeed the reason this nonprofit communitytheater group exists.

“We want to have it be the first thing out of some-one’s mouth: ‘Oh my gosh, they’re doing this greatshow this weekend. Let’s go!’” says Heather.

So mark theseon your calendarthis year:

• May 13, 14,20 and 21: “TheRivoli SpringConcert Series” –live performancesfeaturing talentedlocal musicians

• June 10, 11,12, 17, 18 and19: “Harvey” –the cherished taleof a man and his
