New Paltz restaurants cover the whole day, from 8AM breakfasts at The Bakery and Main Street Bistro to a 2AM weekend close at Moonburger, as long as you plan around each kitchen's closed days. Here is where to eat in and around the village by time of day, with the address, days and hours each restaurant posts on its own website, read the week this was written. A few of them list seasonal hours, so look at the site again before you drive in.

Keep a purchase sealed until home

New York's Office of Cannabis Management says it is illegal to use cannabis in a motor vehicle, in a private business, or anywhere tobacco smoking is banned, and it names restaurant patios and public parks as examples. No one in a vehicle, driver or passenger, may open cannabis packaging. A purchase from Farmers Choice stays sealed until you are home, and our guide to New York cannabis laws covers where consumption is allowed.
