While I prefer Greens Farms or Westport stations for their proximity, Nauti Dolphin pizza on the north bound side is a great addition!

Proximity to good food makes this a great place to commute to/from.

Correction: it is Calsi's General Store and the highway is actually Rt. 22. Make sure to try seawood cream cheese bagals at Calsi's. It is Sharan's specialty.

The station features a free book rack. Pick one up to pass the time on the crappy trains that are sure to breakdown.

If you need food or supplies and have a long wait at the station, visit Kelso's General Store in downtown Wassaic. It is just a quarter mile down the tracks or south on route 2.

make sure to read the signs if you park on the eastbound side... tickets get expensive if you don't pay attention.

Tickets are more expensive on train - Buy tickets before boarding train on South bound/NYC side - No ticket machine on northbound side

If you need to take a taxi from here, choose Red Dot. The other cab company is awful.
