What to expect at Hunter Mountain/Tannersville, NY? (grocery shopping, kid friendly restaurants, etc)

[sarahbeth]

Our family has decided to meet in a neutral place for Christmas. We have a ski cabin for a week in Tannersvillle, NY near Hunter Mountain and I wondering what I should expect since my sister is pretty vague about the area. There will be 6 adults plus a preschooler, toddler and a baby. What are the grocery stores in the area? Any better than another? What about restaurants? I am looking for recommendations that are family friendly-- this could be anything from a sandwich shop for lunch to a cozy place for dinner. Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

There is a Grand Union supermarket...sorry I don't remember the name of any of the smaller stores/restaurants in Tannersville. Do not miss the view from the spot where the Catskill Mountain House used to be, it is breathtaking.

Not sure about grocery stores, but the Last Chance cheese & antiques cafe on Tannersville Main St. is a lovely place for a warm & cozy lunch. While I've never gone in with kids, it seems to me that it'd be a very family-friendly place -- and as a bonus, there's about 1,000 kinds of beer to choose from for the grownups... We normally just get plates of cheese and pate and such, but we've had the chili, which comes with a foot-thick crust of oozy cheese on it, and once we'd roused ourselves from our food coma, agreed that it was really great chili.
