"If you’re picking just one restaurant to go to in the Catskills, this is it. Brushland Eating House is on the far western side of the Catskills, and it’s worth driving out of your way for (even if that means navigating dark dirt roads without cell service). It’s on the first floor of an old farmhouse, and the space has floor-to-ceiling windows, a giant bar, and nice wooden banquettes. Dinner costs $75, changes weekly, and consists of a three-course family-style meal. Once a month, they also do a magical Persian feast that feels steeped in sentimental memories.
