Home to State University of NY at New Paltz, this small town has a sizable hippy community as well as students. The young feeling is a refreshing change from upstate NY's older crowd. "There are just as many real hippies there as there are in Woodstock, N.Y. I know this because I am a long hair dreded hippy that lives near by both of these locations. The good thing about New Paltz is that it isn't nearly as hyped up as Woodstock. This provides for a nice relaxing atmosphere."

Comment: New Paltz has a great and special feel to it.I get that that feeling every time I enter town and I have been visiting there since 1972.I used to camp in the mountains there and have fond memories of playing guitar at Smittys bar.Somehow Rolling Rock beer tasted better up there.

Comment: Hi!
I used to live in New Paltz as a young boy. I have always wanted to return and see where I grew up. Haven''t had the chance yet.
I can''t remember the address it''s been so long. (60''s)
To get to the house from the turnpike you went down thru town, turned left at the fork, then turned right and went across railroad tracks. Up past the dump (river on right) our house was the 1st one after on the left. It was a huge, long driveway to get to the house. Old big house, our neighbors across the street were the Benders.
We bought an old chicken farm....no chickens though.
Anyone know if our old house is still there?
I''d sure appreciate knowing!!!!
THANKS!!
Rick

Comment: I grew up in New Paltz and never realized how lucky I was until i left and realized that the whole world wasnt that cool. in response to girlscandrum Whole Food is NOT a hippie coop and if that is your idea of hippie then stay out of New Paltz please! There are 2 REAL healthfood stores in New Paltz one called Earth Goods on Main and another next to the movie theatre. Earth Goods is better in my eyes but they both have cool stuff. There was recently a starbucks built on main that got people pretty annoyed but other then that there are not a lot of chains in town. Great rock climbing and hiking in the Gunks!!

Comment: I remember how it was back in the early 70''s. People were as cool as they could be man. It was like a part of California was cut and pasted there. I haven''t been there in years, but will definately check it out the next time I pass through there!
PEACE and LOVE!

Comment: New Paltz is great, I love all the hippies. You all are great, I love to see so many real hippies turn out to our Hip-Hop shows here in L.I., It really balances out our crowd, and keeps it peaceful. One of my good friends lives in New Paltz, and we are looking to do a concert up there for you all. Love All. Remember to vote 2004. You know who gotta'' go. Peace.

Comment: I just moved to charlotte from newpaltz, ny. let me tell you all this right now, and pay close attention! newpaltz is full of dead beat dirt bags that claim to be hippies. they will rob you, they will assult you, they will lie to you. all with a smile. You have been warned.
also, there is absolutly NO good drugs anymore. maybe sometimes in the summer when people are touring. newpaltz is now full of wiggers.
w i g g e r s. yes.
