Catskill Crew is a weekly newsletter covering the best of Upstate New York — events, outdoor adventures, local history, and the hidden spots that don’t make it onto the tourist maps. Started in October 2023 by Michael Kauffman, it’s grown to over 40,000 subscribers who think of it as a digital bulletin board for the region.
What to Expect
Each Tuesday edition rounds up local events from the coming week, highlights a piece of regional history, features local makers and creatives, and points you toward the best outdoor activities — hiking, fly fishing, music, and more. The tone is warm, community-minded, and genuinely useful if you live in or spend time in the Catskills.
Who It’s For
Residents, second-home owners, and regular visitors to the Catskills and Hudson Valley who want to stay plugged into the local scene. Also a good read for anyone curious about small-town community journalism done well.
