In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in the Pawling area. It has been written up in the NY Times and I've celebrated many birthdays and special events at McKinney & Doyle. They also have a phenomenal bakery where you can eat in or take out fabulous cakes, pies, cookies, bagels, rolls, coffee and much more. They also serve old fashioned milk shakes. If you come to Pawling, make sure to stop here!

Do you remember the singers Hall and Oates? This is a super venue for food and entertainment owned by singer Daryl Hall. People often travel from NYC to Pawling just to catch a show/dinner as this venue. I highly recommend it!

​

Many visitors stay late into the evening and book rooms in one of the Pawling Bed & Breakfast establishments.

Lodging

  • Pawling House Bed & Breakfast

    • In the early 2000's, two wonderful women came to me with interest in starting a bed & breakfast in Pawling. Our search ultimately culminated in a Village home that was in a alarming state of disrepair. After much hard work the result is the charming Pawling House Bed & Breakfast. Privacy and situated next to a babbling brook, it's a 5-10 minute walk to the center of the Village. Book a room by clicking here!

  • Station Inn Pawling

    • Located very close to the Pawling Train station​ and right in the center of the Village of Pawling.
