Convenient deli for any essentials and great to pick up anything for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sandwiches made to order are delicious (personal favorite is the Godmother on a wedge). Pizzas are fantastic and Monday/Tuesday nights is customer appreciation prices. Remember the deli closes at 8pm, so get that piazza order in early.

Italian restaurant on the neighboring Lake Mahopac shoreline with outdoor area to watch the beautiful sunset with boats floating by. With views this good, nothing else matters.

Burgers, beer & live bands are the draw at this American tavern in retro digs with outdoor seating. No matter how many times we go to Cold Spring to check it out with different plans for lunch, we always seem to end up grabbing a burger at Whistling Willie's at the top of main street. If you do end up somewhere else, let us know what its like.

The main attraction! Lake Oscawana is a 386-acre (1.6 km2) natural lake with a depth that ranges from 25 feet (7.6 m) to 30 feet (9.1 m). The lake is fed by a stream from its north end and it drains through a stream at the middle of its eastern shore that borders our property. Enjoy Lake life at its best. The area was home to Babe Ruth during the Prohibition years and more recently featured as the "The Sapranos" Adirondack Lake house.
