Join me for a delicious trip down memory lane at Main Street Bistro in downtown New Paltz — a beloved local gem that’s been delighting patrons since owners Doug & Teresa Thompson took over on July 1, 1993.
🍽️ What We Experienced:
- Classic & creative brunch fare—think Salmon Hash with hollandaise, hearty breakfast specials, and inventive sandwiches like the Santa Cruz
- Consistently excellent food with generous portions, charming down-to-earth service, and a bustling college-town atmosphere.
- A menu that even earned “Best Breakfast in the Hudson Valley 2020” from Hudson Valley Magazine
👨🍳 What Makes It Special:
- The Bistro’s roots date back decades—a fixture in town with a solid 25+ years under its belt
- Doug Thompson, the owner, is a SUNY alumnus, ex-punk drummer turned restaurateur, who built a loyal staff—many with over 15 years of service
- Launched dinner hours in 2024 featuring a fresh Vietnamese‑vegan menu, all while keeping the iconic daytime menu intact
✅ Why You’ll Love It:
- Perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and now even dinner.
- Friendly, familiar service—staff often know you by name
- A must-visit spot in the heart of New Paltz—ideal after a hike, or any time you crave comfort food with flair
