The Catskills is full of amazing restaurants that are just as refined and tasty as anything in New York City—in fact, many of New York’s best have outposts in the region. So, how about another one? Opened this year, Day June Luncheonette is located in the hamlet of Hensonville, which is located in the town of Windham, New York. It combines polished big city cooking with the kind of classic breakfast and lunch staples that will always taste good. It might just be the best new restaurant in the Catskills. To learn more, keep reading, below.
The food at Day June Luncheonette is the work of Fabián von Hauske Valtierra and Jeremiah Stone, who are behind the famous Manhattan restaraunts Wilder and Contra.
The space is owned by Ely and Danielle Franko, who remodeled an old luncheonette to create what is now Day June. They rebuilt banquettes and installed a wraparound counter made from marble and reclaimed wood.
Day June specializes in the kind of comfort food that Americans of all ages and backgrounds love. Many ingredients are sourced from the extended Catskills community, with beef and pork sourced from Highland Hollow in Schoharie and bread baked at See & Be Kitchen in Cario.
Everything at Day June is made in-house, making it just a cut above many similar establishments. Day June is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They are closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.
For those that find themselves in the Catskills, they will not be disappointed by a breakfast, lunch or even brunch meal at Day June Luncheonette.
