Same goes for Catskills?  There don't seem to be upscale restaurants there either, only cafes/glorified takeouts/dairy pizza places.

There used to be one in the Raleigh hotel I'm not sure if it's still there

They've actually recently updated parts of the hotel but yes if you're looking for a RC in the Catskills you're not going to find it.

Are there any other Minyan "factories" besides the one at 12 Garfield Road?
Thanks.

5 Garfield

IIRC the first time I visited KJ I went in there to daven mincha and found it odd that I had a hard time finding a צדקה פושקע to put something into before Davening. When I inquire with a friend about it he told me he knows nothing about it because he doesn't go there וד"ל.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Lots of fanatics out there. No Pushka?? makes no sense. Satmar shuls are usually lined up with pushkas. Maybe it was under construction?

I'm not saying no pushka. But it wasn't obvious at the entrance. Really needed to go all the way in to find one.

Where's the best place for Davening for someone staying in Goshen, NY?
Anything closer than KJ?
Anything while traveling north from Goshen to main Frum Catskill towns?
Thanks.

Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

I have no personal experience on the matter but I know that lots of yungerleit from Monroe work in businesses in Goshen, Chester etc. so naturally there would be minyanim for Mincha in those businesses. The question is how to get that info. If you bump into frum men in the area during the day just ask them where there is a minyan.

Traveling north to the Catskills there is the new satmar community in Bloomingburg, off exit 116, with multiple minyanim daily.

You think they're big enough for a Minyan factory?

During the day I'm sure not, at the zman (satmar zman) could be it is. Perhaps get familiar with the times and see if it works for you.

Bloomingburg shuls here and here.
