The College can be reached most easily from the New York State Thruway (toll highway) or the Taconic Parkway.
New York State Thruway:
From points north or south, follow the New York State Thruway to Exit 21 (Catskill). Exit left onto Route 23B and follow for 1/2 mile, then turn left onto Route 23 East. Follow Route 23 East over the Rip Van Winkle Bridge (toll: $1.00) and continue one mile further to reach the campus on the right.
Taconic Parkway:
From points north or south, follow the Taconic Parkway to the Hudson exit (Route 82). Exit right onto Route 82 and follow Route 82 west until it becomes Route 23 West. Continue on Route 23 West to the college campus on the left.
I believe that we will be in parking lots "F" and "G" on this campus map:
Enter via Gate #1, off of Long Pond Road. Follow Tunnel Road once inside the complex, or whatever traffic control directions are provided at the gate when you sign the waiver. Pocono Raceway Official Web Site
Catalano's Pasta Garden
Note: these are not the fastest routes, but they do take you there with the least number of different roads. Check their web site for directions also.
From The West on I-84 or from the South on Rte. 9:
I-84 to Exit 13 (Route 9 North) in Fishkill, NY. Continue up Route 9 approximately 4 1/2 miles to Myers Corners Road. (It is the second traffic light after you see the Seven Eleven on your right. There will be a Mobil station on the right) Take a right onto Myers Corners Rd and continue straight for 4 miles to the very end of the road. (Yes it looks very rural!!) Take a right onto Rte 376. Catalanos is approximately 3/4 mile on the right just before McDonalds.
From The North on Rte 9:
Take Rte 9 South through Wappingers Falls. Take a left onto Myers Corners Road (Just after the Hanneford's Grocery Store.

Continue on Rte 52 for 1 mile and turn right onto Rte 376 at traffic light. Follow Rte 376 for 6 miles. Note that the road turns sharply at some of the traffic lights so pay attention to the Rte 376 signs. Catalano's is in the Plaza on the left right after McDonalds. Catalano's Pasta Garden Web Site
