"Sure, you could actually make a deli sandwich to pack and enjoy at the base of Kaaterskill Falls. But it’s more fun to grab a foil-wrapped roast beef sandwich loaded up with gouda house horseradish mayo at a general store and pop it into your hiking bag. Circle W in Palenville is an easy on-the-way stop on your drive up from the city, and sandwiches like their reuben or roast beef panino will likely still be warm by the time you reach the bottom of the falls. After you polish off your lunch, take some time to kick off your sandals and dip your toes in the cool stream—the last thing you want is to climb more than 600 stone stairs immediately after eating a bunch of meat and cheese." - anne cruz
