KITTY'S MARKET IS HIRING!
We are a market & café - a place to grab a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich in the morning, to pick up some fresh, local produce, or to get a rotisserie chicken and sides (plus a 6-pack of beer!) to eat on the patio or take home for dinner.
We're located just across the street from the Hudson Amtrak station, one of the busiest in NY State! We are in the unique position to cultivate relationships with all of our Hudson neighbors while being a friendly welcome to new visitors to the area.

Kitty’s Market focuses on both curated local grocery items as well as familiar pantry staples. We offer high quality, delicious NY roasted coffee, espresso and teas. Our food offerings center around our rotisserie chicken and sides, plus some fun picnic and train snacks. We are committed to and excited about showing off everything Hudson, the region and the state have to offer!

MORE KITTY'S COMING SOON...
This May, Kitty's World will expand with a full-on restaurant with plenty of outdoor space to spread out. We'll serve up delicious food inspired by the mountains around us and the valley we live in, and pair it with some really special wine.
Speaking of wine, we also have a sister bottle shop, Grapefruit Wines just up the street, focusing on low-intervention wines made by small farmers who really care about their land and communities.
