A Guide to Visiting and Living in Midtown Kingston NY

Lis Bar

Known as the “gateway to the Catskills”, the City of Kingston has seen a revitalization in each of its three distinct neighborhoods – Uptown, Downtown, and Midtown — in recent years. The latter, Midtown, has established itself as an up-and-coming arts district: Former warehouses have become studios and workshops for artisans, new galleries have sprung up, and there’s even a pop culture museum. Not to mention, the culinary scene is hot, with restaurants to please any palate and three craft breweries. Here’s a taste of what Midtown has to offer.

DINE
Broadway runs through the heart of Midtown, and there you’ll find The Anchor, which specializes in locally procured gourmet pub food such as grass-fed beef burgers. Further down Broadway, you’ll come across organic Guatemalan at Peace Nation Café and eclectic southern cuisine at Pakt. Just off the main strip, enjoy family-style Italian dining at Frank Guido’s Little Italy, or taste authentic Polish delicacies and artful cocktails at local-favorite Lis Bar.

STAY

Kingsley Hotel / The Newkirk B&B

Though Midtown doesn’t currently offer hotels, you’ll find comfortable accommodations about a mile away. The popular Hotel Kinsley offers luxe lodging Uptown, whereas The Forsyth B&B is located Downtown near a walkable waterfront park. The Newkirk is a beautifully redone upscale AirBnB rental on the outskirts of Midtown.

POINTS OF INTEREST

Grab a pint at one of Midtown’s locally owned breweries. The busy Keegan Ales is known for its lively music scene; the Kingston Standard serves up world-class oysters, and the laid-back Great Life Brewing Co. is a tucked-away gem. Or, catch a show at Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC), a former 1920s Vaudeville theater where top acts like Brian Wilson, Joan Jett, and Sheryl Crow have recently graced the stage.
