Clam N' Jam

Penning’s orchard provides a family friendly atmosphere, outdoor seating, live entertainment and great food. Putting all these things together, Penning’s have devised a great night out for all the family....Clam N’ Jam! The event which take's place on a Friday evening includes a fresh clam and seafood bar and live music until 11pm. I had a great lunch here yesterday and would recommend people to go check it out. The area is very child friendly and they have enough room, inside and out, to have a right old knees up!

Catching the rays!

The past week on the lake has been very chilled out and I got a few days in the sun to try work on some sort of a tan. I have to say with this Irish skin it's difficult to get any substantial amount! Yesterday was a great day spent out on the boat, firstly, with my friend Christine who I have to give a shout out to and then a lovely BBQ on Charlie's Cove with the Mulcahy family. I got to try tubing-which was hilarious and also spin about on the Jet Ski. As you can see from the pic above I got to get a ride on the Harley which was amazing-once on it you can totally understand what they say about getting out in the open and feeling free. I caught Elvis last weekend on the beach, not bad at all! Still trying to catch The Waterstone Inn up on their social media however im finding it a tad difficult to reach new people since I don't know anyone around this way. However I will push with it, pass the word and get liking! Amy x

Boat safely!

The Greenwood Lake Police Department is hosting a safe boating course on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th August. This is a great course to brush up on safety issues and also gather new information about your boats and how to keep you and your passenger’s safe at all times. It's easy to forget the simple things that can easily put your safety under threat; therefore this course is a good reminder. At the Waterstone Inn, boat and lake safety is no.1 for our guests and our family and we encourage responsibility when out boating. Don't let a happy day go bad by not being careful!

Reservations are now taking place by bringing a $35 cheque to the Police Department on 16 Church Street or calling 845-477-9211.

Nitrite-Free at Breezy Point

This past week I had the chance to spend some quality time here in Greenwood Lake with my cousin, his wife and their two young daughters. The best thing about  family and friends coming to visit is that you have an excuse to break from routine and play tour guide for awhile. After a couple of days here at the Lake, I think they can see why I chose Greenwood Lake as home. 

We ended their visit with a fabulous lunch at Breezy Point. I haven't been there with my own kids in awhile,  so I was happy to see that they now have nitrite-free hot dogs on the children's menu. I've tried to cut out all nitrites at home and it's nice to know that there's a local restaurant with an awareness and dedication to offering healthy food. Thank you Breezy!  ~Lisa

The bright lights of the city!

I spent a few days in the city last week which was amazing to see! NYC at night is stunning-between the brightness of the lights and the sheer size of the buildings it seemed quite surreal walking around. My first experience there was helping with the food kitchen at the Aishling Centre in the Bronx. The volunteering work that they do is admirable and they help out so many people, it was great to be able to participate. I also got to help at an event on Stone St. and on the weekend I met up with some other interns and hung around Times Square. By chance I got to go see a Yankees game-what a stadium and the atmosphere was great fun! After getting dazed by the lights I am back settling into Greenwood Lake this week and enjoying the tranquility that it brings (that doesn’t include the thunder and lightning storms) and look forward to a weekend looking at the stars rather than the signs :-)
