Phoenicia Diner
On Route 28 in the Catskills hamlet of Phoenicia, this roadside diner punches well above its chrome-and-vinyl weight class. The drink program draws as much attention as the food, with house cocktails that sit comfortably alongside what serious urban bar programs are doing. For weekenders making the two-hour drive from New York City, it has become a reliable first and last stop.
