Woodstock General Supply
33 Tinker Street. Woodstock, NY
A few years ago, while camping at Kenneth Wilson State Park outside of Woodstock, my friends and I popped into town for a sit-down brunch and strolled the main streets. Woodstock General Supply is a cabin-esque outdoorsman’s haberdashery with a collection of clothes, candles, notebooks, and grooming products.

High Falls is a quirky town abutting a canal. It’s beautiful and while very small, vibrant with food, flea markets and magical shops like Nectar. Two buildings filled with a plethora of treasures from India make up Nectar, along with a warm atmosphere and tea for patrons. It’s the type of place where we could meet a couple the same age as Andrew and I from his own hometown in Springfield, Missouri. Far from home, and yet a nexus of the universe awaits at wonderful Nectar.
