An quirky little town smack dab in the middle of the Catskill Mountains, along the Esopus Creek

It's close to a lot of the best glamping spots in the Catskills, which makes the town of Phoenicia the perfect pit stop to stop to grab a quick meal, pick up groceries, browse the shops or hang out along the Esopus Creek.

Here are some stops worth checking out:

• Catskill Clothing Company - a great shop for locally made, vintage items

• Phoenicia Supermarket - Stop here for groceries and local beer to go

• Brio's Restaurant and Pizzeria - Good selection of pizza and casual dishes

• Phoenicia Diner - Amazing breakfast sandwiches, a good stop for a quick lunch
