People may wonder why I go to the Catskills. What is there to do? Where is there to go? The short answer to that is...The Roxbury Motel. The Roxbury Motel is the Disneyland of the Catskills. Each room has a different theme. Think about your favorite escape. Is it: science fiction, comedy, drama? Then you will find it here. The attention to detail is exquisite and you will find yourself looking around your room to find a new detail you may have missed. All of the amenities are here, wet sauna, dry sauna, hot tub, reading room, conference room, continental breakfast room, the list goes on and on. And if you're feeling especially adventurous, schedule a massage in your own private treatment room. If you're the outdoorsy type (like me) then you'll want to find the closest hiking trail which is located down the street at the local park. Ask any local and they will point you in the right direction.
Of course, you have to eat sometime. Then you could walk down the street to The Public, a storied restaurant. You will learn more by reading the menu. I recommend the personal pizza, and a beer.
If you're looking for finer dining, then you will find it at The Andes Hotel, about a 30 minute drive from Roxbury. I recommend the Grilled Portabella Sandwich from the Tavern Menu, bite into it and you will swear you are eating a delicious roast beef sandwich.
When you're ready to get out and about you might consider the various antique stores, art galleries, and used book stores that abound in the nearby villages. One of my favorite things to do is visit the Hobart Book Village. I highly recommend the Bibliobarn which is excellent for those rainy afternoons which frequently occur in the Catskills.
Anyway, these are a few of the reasons I go to the Catskills, you will find many, many more.
