Delhi
Let me tell you about Delhi. It's probably somewhere you've visited, if you've come to the Catskills. It's worth the trip. And it's the gateway to so much of what I'm telling you about in this blog - it's just the first stop.
Anyway, today I went to the closing of a listing I had in Delhi - a truly sweet old Victorian that very much deserves some love. It's been a good shelter for a series of the sellers' kids as they attended neighboring SUNY Delhi, but now it's time for a new chapter.
I was early, so I did a little exploring. And I found some treasures.
First, there's one I already knew about...the Blue Bee. The latest stop on Susan's Upstate Caffeine Tour, and one you must visit. It's not just the coffee. It's the place. It's the food. It's about the most perfect cafe I've ever been to. And they make crepes on the weekends.
Scones. They have really good scones. For me, there's nothing more to be said. But I've been there a few times, had breakfast and lunch, and it's never been anything short of amazing. So there's that.
Five out of five, Blue Bee.
But it's not just about food. Let's talk about a good old fashioned general store, and not one that's all about food. Let's talk about Stewart's Department Store.
Do you like clothes with a bit of a country chic vibe? Needs some adorable clothes for the kids? Toys? Men's clothes? How about yarn? Fabric? Or some great country decor? This place has it all in a gorgeous vintage building.

And then there's Stone and Sawyer. It's a very special kind of shop. They make lamps. Really cool ones. The kind that make visitors stop and say, "Wow - where'd you get that great lamp?"

There's more, but these were my highlights today. And then there's the angel...
Upstate, right?
