From Towne Crier: "Live Americana, world music and jazz. Farm-fresh dining. The Towne Crier Café has been a Hudson Valley Landmark since 1972. As we celebrate our first anniversary in Beacon, we invite you to take a bow. We appreciate the great dining review in the NY Times and the Best of Hudson Valley award from Hudson Valley Magazine. But what has made it truly special is our vibrant community of music and food lovers.

"How long has the Towne Crier been around?Founded by Phil Ciganer in 1972, the Towne Crier Café was originally located in an early American general store and stagecoach stop in the historic hamlet of Beekmanville, just east of Hopewell Junction, in Dutchess County, New York. We also operated for several months in 1987 at an interim location on Route 44, just outside of Millbrook, while a new location in Pawling was being made ready. After 25 years in Pawling, we moved to Main Street in Beacon in October 2013. "At this point the Towne Crier Café is the oldest ongoing venue of its type in the country under continuous management. For over four decades, we have remained true to our original vision: To present a prestigious roster of performers in an intimate setting that respects their performance above all. The Café has become a Hudson Valley cultural institution - a fine dining restaurant, a mecca for musicians and a magnet for listeners and diners alike. Our goal remains to offer a unique experience of comfort, dining and entertainment."
