Introducing Catskills

It will be decades at least before year-rounders consider the weekenders locals and not interlopers, but the introduction of fine cuisine and cute boutiques has yet to overwhelm the small town charm and pastoral atmosphere of the Catskills. For some out-of-staters this bucolic region of undulating, forest-covered mountains and picturesque farmland is still synonymous with Borscht-belt family resorts. However, that era is long past, and after some economically tough times the Catskills, though lower profile than the Hamptons, have become a popular choice for sophisticated city dwellers seeking second-home getaways.
