When it's dark outside before you even get home from work, the motivation to cook can be at an all-time low.</p><p>Sometimes, the only thing that can really revive my spirit is a delicious comfort food meal. And let me tell you, New Paltz has some of the best.</p><h2>Best Comfort Food in New Paltz</h2><p>Buckle up and grab a pen, these 5 recommendations are top-tier.</p><p><b>For Breakfast</b></p><p>Main Street Bistro is a staple in New Paltz. There's a good reason why there's often a line out the door waiting for a table. On a cold day, one of the best ways to start your day is with a trip to Main Street Bistro. While there are a number of incredible dishes, the chicken and waffles is the ultimate comfort breakfast if you need a reminder of why life is worth living in the winter.</p><p>What you get: Fluffy waffles, a crispy chicken cutlet and a fried egg smothered in sausage gravy with a side of home fries. You will be so full but so warm and happy.</p><p><b>For Lunch:</b></p><p>Nothing hits harder on a chilly afternoon than McGuillicuddy's French onion soup. I know wings and French onion soup seems like a really odd pairing, and you're right, it totally is!</p><p>But the best part about Cuddy's is it's a comfortable, inviting place to sit, relax, maybe even watch a game. So, if you start with the French onion soup, take a beat, have a beer, cleanse the palette, and then dive into the wings, it makes for a very pleasant afternoon.</p><p><b>For Dinner:</b></p><p>To be fair, these options could also be a lunch but for organizational reasons, they've been designated to the 'dinner' section.</p><p>If we're focusing on warm and cozy comfort foods, Pho is an obvious choice. And in New Paltz, you have 2 different places you can indulge in. Personally, I typically opt for Pho Tibet, but that's purely out of close proximity. iPho located a little further up Main Street is the other spot that comes highly recommended and reviewed.</p><p>The next suggestion is also in the noodle family, but we're talking about comfort food here and they're all rice noodles so, at least take <i>comfort</i> in knowing that rice noodles are every so marginally, debatably better for you than wheat noodles.</p><p>Before I moved back to New Paltz, I used to dream about the food from Bangkok Cafe. Being back in town, it's probably the place I frequent most. If it's a bad day, Bangkok's noodles never fail to lift my spirits. The other almost mind-boggling thing about Bangkok's food is if you order out, that food will stay hot for HOURS.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbangkokcafenewpaltz%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02VtBhhLhMKHj5SqPoCvumbinamF9d68DcG8S4RM9X286uc75szLBTeYSsFeVVpiNJl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" style="width:100%; height:100%; position:relative; border:none; overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe></div><p>Be basic and get the Pad Thai or broaden your horizons with some Lad Na or Pad Kee Mow Woo Sen.
