Farmers Choice New Paltz
What is Water Street Market?
Water Street Market is New Paltz's open-air shopping courtyard, a cluster of stone-and-timber buildings at the foot of Main Street holding galleries, antique dealers, boutiques, a cheese shop, cafes, and studios around a brick-paved commons. The two-story Antiques Barn anchors the collection, patio tables fill the courtyard whenever the sun is out, and the whole compound sits just below historic Huguenot Street with the Shawangunk ridge lined up on the horizon behind it.
Why it is worth the trip
It is the village's gathering spot and its best single afternoon: browse the Antiques Barn's warren of dealers, catch a gallery opening, put together a picnic from the cheese shop, and take a courtyard table while the ridge changes color over your coffee. Small, walkable, and dog friendly, it concentrates the New Paltz personality, farmers, artists, students, climbers, into one courtyard, and it sits at the foot of the rail trail, so trail traffic and market traffic feed each other all day long.
Plan your visit
The Market sits at 10 Main Street at the bottom of the hill, with its own lot plus street parking nearby. Weekend afternoons are liveliest, when the shops, galleries, and courtyard are all going at once and buskers sometimes work the commons; weekday mornings are the quiet, coffee-and-browse version. Pair it with Huguenot Street's stone houses one block over or a rail trail walk that starts practically at the courtyard edge, and check the Market's calendar for gallery nights and seasonal fairs.
Good to know
The Market runs year round, with a holiday stretch that turns the courtyard into the village's living room and summer weekends that spill onto every patio. Antique hunters should give the Barn a full hour, since the good finds hide on the second floor, and the courtyard's food options rotate enough that regulars always have a new favorite. Sunset from the upper deck catches the Gunks going gold, and street parking nearby opens up fastest in the late morning window after the breakfast crowd rolls out.
