You are overdue for a vacation, in fact, this year we all are. The best gift to give this year is a gift card to Fuchsia Tiki Bar in New Paltz, NY. The only authentic tiki bar in the Hudson Valley (and outside of New York City). A tropical destination without leaving the Hudson Valley?! Indeed. Fuchsia Tiki Bar has been making a name for themselves since 2019 as the premier tropical destination with a seasonal cocktail menu and a dedicated fresh juice program with one of the most intricate rum collections in the entire state. Nestled in the village of New Paltz, tucked away from prying eyes, Fuchsia’s name has caught the attention of Food Network & the NY Cocktail Expo in a short time. With the majority of guests traveling hours from any direction to enjoy an authentic tropical cocktail, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get out of the house and enjoy a cocktail and learn why rum is such a diverse spirit. Update: Due to the recent increase in Covid cases, Anton the owner of Fuchsia Tiki has taken it upon himself to temporarily close his doors on Dec 20th in order to keep his customers healthy and safe. He plans to reopen on Jan 21st with a revamped menu and a big welcoming smile. You can still purchase gift certificates online to help support this amazing local business and give the gift of Tiki to your friends and family to ring in the new year.

Sisters and animal lovers Alejandra and Pauline Martinez founded Paco & Lucia in 2016.

With high attention to detail and quality, they focus on making beautiful, carefully crafted pieces with a dog’s comfort in mind.

I offer a wide variety of fragrances for each season to choose from and have a variety of jar sizes ( 4oz, 6oz, 8oz,10oz, and 17oz ) and color options. The statement “Possibilities are endless” is truly what my business embodies and embraces. Each candle is hand-poured using coca apricot wax and cotton wicks to give a clean burn.

Executive Chef John Paige creates mouth-watering meals with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a fantastic presentation that is sure to delight.
Don’t just listen to us, see what others are saying about Garvan’s:
“We were traveling further west into the Catskills and struck an appetite along the way. We found this place whilst driving through New Paltz and are we glad we found it. It was very Covid safe and cleanly. We felt so cozy and the service was very attentive. The menu was as if we were dining at a pub in Ireland. It’s difficult to find such wholesome European gastropubs up here so we were very impressed. We were so delighted by the menu and restaurant that we came by again the very next day!” - S. Molano, Trip Advisor
