Meadow Blues Coffee

Meadow Blues Coffee

8 Greycourt Avenue, Chester, NY 10918 | (845) 610-3638

Meadow Blues Coffee was a much-needed shop in the Chester community. They had been thinking of a casual, family-friendly space to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, pastries, and listen to some sweet blue tunes. They looked around, and couldn’t find anything like that in Chester, so they created Meadow Blues.

Their coffee is roasted by Coffee Labs, located in Tarrytown. The practice of working with coffee farmers of different origins is exactly what they were looking for in a roaster. Caring about sustainability, having good coffee relationships with the farmers, and visiting the different origins about twice a year.

Meadow Blues is a monument to their love for Blues music. With music growing more diverse by the day, and the world quickening its pace, they wanted to make sure there was a place where our roots aren’t being forgotten. Where the Blues can live for years to come.

They serve coffee, tea, smoothies, craft beer, wine, and cider YOUR CHOICE. The Meadow Blues bites and pastries are lip-smack'n that pair well with the Signature Drinks.

The Turning Point

The Turning Point

468 Piermont Avenue, Piermont, NY 10968 | 845-359-1089

The Turning Point was started back in May of 1976 by John McAvoy and his sister Diane. The name of the club was in dispute between John who wanted to call it “The SoHo” and Diane who wanted “Sojourners Truth” (a real mouthful). Their mother intervened and suggested finding the name of a song or album as the name. Well the name was found on one of John’s favorite performer’s album “The Turning Point ” by John Mayall.In 1978 Diane and John with the help of some friends, bought the building that houses the Turning Point today. Finally moving into the new location in September of 1981 “seven trees south of our old location” . Opening on the first floor only at this time, there were always plans to get the Cafe open (in the basement). Diane left the restaurant in 1979 finally settling in Austin, Tx.. In November of 1984 we presented Eric Anderson, the first of many concerts featuring nationally prominent musicians. The next to appear was Rambin’ Jack Elliott. Slowly more and more national acts came to the Turning Point. In August of 1985 we finally got the Cafe open. The opening night performer was a little known blues guitarist from Seattle named Robert Cray. It was a great night. In 2009 we closed the upstairs and rented the space to Stefan, and the staff of Tequila Sol Lemon, It has changed our presentation a bit, but I am happy with the results. More time to spend with the family after 33 years of missed family functions.
