Yes Woodstock, VT makes the cut.




A simple Americana charm is the best way to describe this town. Full of Federal and Georgian style houses the history is oozing around the central green. Few minutes away from the Inn I locate the Woodstock Coffee & Tea: (43 Central Street- Woodstock) & have a really great macchiato ($1.91). Couple of young guys running the joint with no pretenses whatsoever. Coffee, tea, few baked goods, old books, a community cork board…that’s it… Not even a business card in sight!.. (Trust me I asked for it.)
The menu written on jute Coffee Bean Bags… That’s it… Perfection.
I need to go back for a “Maple Latte”.
PS:the menu lists Turkish Coffee as Espresso's GRANDFATHER...I guess that explains why I am hooked...Born & raised in Istanbul.




The Village Butcher: (18 Elm Street-Woodstock) There I ordered my meatloaf with ketchup, hot peppers, lettuce sandwich on wheat bread….($4.65….for a minute I thought I miss-heard them) WOW.
My little old fashion town complete with my old fashion sandwich…
FYI: The beef sold here is all natural and raised in a stress-free Environment, with no hormones, steroids or antibiotics added to the feed, which consists of a strict vegetarian diet to produce the most consistent, best tasting, most tender, highest quality beef you can buy.
