The Lafayette Theatre is a bonafide single screen movie palace from a time when Lon Chaney haunted the rafters and Clara Bow flashed a little "It Girl" ankle to scandalized movie audiences all over the civilized world. To a generation weaned on the squalor of the multiplex and the sonic overload of the High Definition Man Cave, the Lafayette is a living testament to the grandeur and wonderment of going to the movies when doing so was an event and television was still a science fiction glimmer. Thankfully, the Lafayette is a registered historical landmark that still shows contemporary films and the occasional silent picture with keyboard accompaniment. It's a fantastic night out and an unforgettable experience even if you leave the Doozy at home.

It's an unbeatable photo op with a vintage sleigh, a real looking Santa, staged inside of a beautiful kept barn. They also have a bake sale along with demonstrations on spinning wool, and cooking in their outside kitchen. This has been a part of our family tradition, so fortunate to have this in our community!

As other reviewers have written... when you arrive, you kinda have to go it alone because there is not much direction and close to no visible staff. We saw cars along the entrance road and just walked.A waitress who was running late guided us to the reception (we were late). We went through a random side entrance. I'm not sure if the wait staff was part of a package but they all seemed new and hovered a bit much. Food was delicious though it came out haphazardly. If I come back here, I will definitely update my review as this was a one-time visit, and the grounds are so gorgeous. It has to be a little better. It's a little gem of a castle in the woods.

Very cute arts and crafts show! I happen to see this event through Yelp and decided to stop by…read moresince my passion is in arts. Every craft was truly unique in its own way and very affordable. I've never been to an arts and crafts show so I thought maybe the creators would be there to describe their work as well as how their business (if any) is going. However, they weren't there. Also the event runs quite long! I believe it started 10/27 and ended 12/3! I learned there were other arts and crafts shows around the area. My boyfriend and I purchased this super cute snowman :)

I think this is an awesome distillery and I can see it being even more fun in warmer weather! This place is know for whiskey and rye. It's cool because they do sampler in a little vile glass which I think is creative. Their cocktails were also super delicious! The service was great! It's seems that they definitely have regular customers that come in. It's not too big of a spot but there was a lot of seating both tables and around the bar.

This distillery is also has grounds you can walk around and explore (not too big though). We took a peek at their aging/storage room with wooden casks while there, as well as their distillery. We were treated to a free, small sample of their whiskey at their bar. Its a nice stop when in upstate NY area.

You can also visit the Old Train Station and Erie Caboose, all part of the permanent exhibits. Guitar lovers and Les Paul fans can even book a session to play on one of the guitars owned and played by the legendary Les himself! We came especially to see the model railroad with our kiddo which is only open on Saturdays from 1-4pm, but checked out the other galleries too. The museum holds some changing exhibits as well as talks and events from time to time. Admission is a modest $5 and free for children under 18 and students under 20. Worth a visit if you're a local or just passing through.

Also, exhibits on Palisades Amusement Park, Mahwah History and downstairs. A huge train exhibit. Well work visiting this gem. All the volunteers were warm and friendly.

They also recently made upgrades to the interior, including a new and improved young adult section, and also added multiple new computers and seats. It's usually very quiet here, minus an hour or two after Brookside Middle School and Hillside Elementary School students are dismissed at the end of the school day, since lots of children come to the library with their parents, or stop by to do homework. The staff is also very friendly, minus one kind of scary employee. Forget Redbox, just order DVDs through the BCCLS site and put your tax dollars to work.

Additionally, there needs to be either a quiet space for computer use or a space for meetings and tutoring that will not interrupt the quiet space of other patrons. The staff often eat hot food and the smells permeate the entire small space. To the credit of Allendale, it's a pleasing and well thought out space with a small town feel.
