We welcome you to the Towne Crier Cafe, where we have always focused on presenting the best in the performing arts and creative dining. Founded by Phil Ciganer in 1972 in an early American general store and stagecoach stop in the historic hamlet of Beekman, NY, the Cafe has continued to pursue its vision in its Pawling home since 1988.It has become a Hudson Valley cultural institution, a mecca for musicians and a magnet for listeners and diners.
