September Festivals

Summer may be over, but it is Festival time in Ulster county. Two festivals especially near the Inn at Tamayo are The Saugerties Garlic Festival; right in the village of Saugerties, and The Woodstock Film Festival. The Garlic Festival is Sept. 26 and 27, Sat & Sun., the Film Festival is Sept. 30 – Oct. 4.
Both happen within a week of each other, and the Inn at Tamayo is a perfect place to stay for both. You can just stay parked in our parking lot and get to the trolly for the garlic festival and we are centrally located to get to all of the films for the film festival. Even though summer is over, Saugerties is the perfect place to come for a visit this Fall, and The Inn at Tamayo is the perfect place to stay. Hope to see you at the Inn and the Resturant

Cooking Demonstration

Jimmy will be doing a cooking demonstration at the Saugerties Farmers Market this Saturday, May 30th at 11:00. He won’t decide what he is doing until he sees  what is at the market, so I won’t be able to post the recipe now, but I will post it afterward. Spring is here now so we are on full schedule at the restaurant serving dinner Thursday through Sunday nights beginning at 6:00PM.    the Inn is open every evening.  HITS horse shows have started.  The carousel horses are up all over town in honor of the Quadricentennial.   Saugerties looks great, and so does the entire Hudson Valley.  Look forward to seeing everyone in the beautiful Catskills this Spring or Summer.

21 Years & Counting

21 Years and Counting

 This week at Café Tamayo we celebrate our 21^st anniversary.  We were thinking about the things that drew us to Saugerties, and about being a part of this community. The things that drew us here have not changed, beautiful architecture, a real village to live in with things like a home town shoe store, pharmacy, dry cleaner, hardware store, chocolate store, beautiful Seamon Park, and much more.  In the restaurant we have seen children become adults, dates turn into engagements, marriages, and families. We have kept in touch with many employees and watched their carriers grow and change. The village has also changed.  Luckily for us, all those things that drew us here remain, and the changes have been positive. The light house was renovated and opened, small word playground was built, the ice rink was built, the Kiersted House became a museum, and we are happy to be part of a group that brought the Saugerties farmers market to life.  We call all of these things, Saugerties growing “gracefully” and   becoming even a better place to live.  So in this our anniversary week, as well as a week for “Thanksgiving” we realize that Saugerties, our village, is one of the things that we are thankful for.     Rickie & James Tamayo
