Montano’ s Shoe Store

Montano’s Shoe Store in Saugerties, NY

I recently received an email from Visit Vortex featuring Montano's Shoe Store, and it brought back vivid memories. I remember my Grandma taking me there as a kid for shoes. To this day, I still enjoy buying shoes there. No matter who helps, you're guaranteed to walk out with the most comfortable shoes ever.

Have you ever visited? What was your experience like? Anne Pyburn Craig writes:

No matter what you’re doing working, playing, or anything else—you’ll do it better in the right shoe. (Unless, of course, it can be done barefoot.) Having comfy, happy feet is absolutely essential. And here in the Hudson Valley, we’re enormously fortunate to have Montano’s, the Saugerties shop that’s been in the business of making sure your feet are contented since 1906.

Staff Pick: Buddha Bowl

This week's staff pick comes from Madison who recommends Buddha Bowls, a new restaurant coincidentally located in the same building as Alleyway. The menu includes create-your-own bowls with greens, protein, grains, and other toppings as well as signature bowls including the Sweetie Potato, Southwest Chicken, and Greek Salad Bowl. Madison especially likes the Southwest Chicken Bowl.

Buddha Bowls is owned by the same people who own Bluestone Coffee Roasting Company, who also, coincidentally, are my Dad and Stepmom.

What do you recommend? We'll share it with the staff.
