Royal Crêpes 303 Main Street, Beacon NY This edition of the Things To Do In Beacon Guides Newsletter was produced in Royal Crêpes, with an order of the Strawberry Banana Crêpe with chocolate this time, instead of the Nutella. You could alternate. Their back patio is as their sidewalk sign promises. While the sidewalk sign may look AI generated, it was actually created by the talented designer behind the Single and Hungry Club who can be found at the Cigar Lounge across the street, sometimes handing out single roses. Speaking of roses, Royal Crêpes' back patio is so cute and quaint. Undiscovered. Perfect for quiet canoodling if you felt like sitting cozy in the afternoon.   CARTER'S RESTAURANT 424 Main Street, Beacon NY Carter's is not usually open at all on Thanksgiving.
