Roll into the weekend with a stroll through the hamlet of Nanuet. When bellies start to rumble, grab a booth at Martio’s Pizza, a local go-to for generations. From brick-oven slices to baked ziti, it’s easy, cozy, and kid-approved.
Next, choose your brand of fun:
By afternoon, check in at the DoubleTree by Hilton where you’ll be welcomed with warm chocolate chip cookies. Spacious rooms will make everyone feel instantly at home. But don’t get too comfortable. The in-ground pool with retractable glass roof beckons.
Then it’s game time at Clover Stadium, home of the New York Boulders, where professional baseball meets affordable, all-ages fun. Give yourself time before the first pitch to soak in the throwback summer atmosphere: concession stands serving up classic ballpark eats, the “B-Train” that chugs around the stadium from the 2nd to 7th inning, and extras like a playground, batting cages, and mini-golf to keep kids entertained beyond the bleachers.
It’s more than a game—it’s a whole evening of old-school fun.
Back at the hotel, unwind and rest easy. You earned it.
Kick off the day at Pancakes Plus in Nanuet, where the stacks are fluffy, the coffee is hot, and the service feels like home.
Before the day picks up, swing by Rockland Bakery, one of the largest bakeries in the Northeast. Visitors can hand-select warm bread and baked goods right off the conveyor belt. The fresh-from-the-oven, yeasty aroma hits you like a hug.
Next up: Palisades Center. Four floors of shops and fun, with everything from Billy Beez and 5Wits to ice skating, go-karts, indoor climbing and arcades. Catch a movie or swing by Dave & Buster’s to play games.
For a midday bite, swing by Lulu’s Café in West Nyack. It’s bright, breezy, and full of lunch options that strike that perfect balance of relaxed and satisfying. Think sandwiches, wraps, and big leafy salads alongside kid-friendly classics.
Head back to the hotel for a midafternoon reset—maybe a dip in the pool, maybe just a nap.
As evening sets in, make your way to Nyack, Rockland’s artsy riverside gem. Meander through indie bookshops and boutiques, then head down to Memorial Park for a mellow moment by the water.
For dinner, land at Prohibition River, where adults can enjoy bold, comfort-forward fare—while kids dig into a menu made just for them. It’s laid-back, lively, and delicious across the board.
Wrap the night with dessert at Piermont Creamery on South Broadway in Nyack. The shop’s delicious, homemade ice cream made in small batches will seal the deal on a sweet summer night of rest back at the hotel.
Fuel up for the journey home with one last local favorite: Nyack Hot Bagels, where bagels are baked fresh all day long. Grab a hot breakfast sandwich to go, and don’t forget to snag a dozen of your crew’s favorite bagels—perfect for reliving the weekend’s adventures with happy kids, tired feet, and a trunk full of Rockland memories.
