Lander’s River Mart

This place is a typical gas station convenience store with a serviceable diner (Lander’s River Café) attached to it. The convenience store fills a need, being open late and selling beer, cigarettes, snacks, ice and such. It’s an OK place. The diner is also OK, offering typical diner food at typical diner prices with friendly service. Just fine, but nothing to write home about. One thing that makes Lander’s River Café better than a typical diner is the view out the window: you can see where Callicoon Creek is about to flow into the Delaware, and from the angle out the back window the two bodies of water appear to be flowing in opposite directions. It’s beautiful.
Here’s where Lander’s River Mart excels: in the convenience store part of the establishment they make sandwiches. Not fancy sandwiches, but good subs. Their Italian combo (at about $ 6) weighs over a pound and a half and easily feeds two hungry people. It might be the best deal in Callicoon; the cold cut to bread ratio is obscene.
Three stars on the strength of that sandwich alone!
