“NYACK RESTAURANT RARITY” – A rare opportunity has arrived in the heart of Nyack: 162 Main Street, a freestanding, turn-key restaurant building that has been home to some of the village’s most beloved dining destinations. With seating for 50 diners and 15 at the bar, this 2,240-square-foot building is truly ready for its next chapter. Outdoor seating is also available with a Village permit. The address carries a legacy. Originally home to the famous Coven Cafe then the award-winning Cafe Barcel, and most recently the critically acclaimed Communal Kitchen, this building has been the birthplace of local culinary history for decades. Communal Kitchen has thrived here for the past eight years, serving small-production wines, handcrafted cocktails, and locally inspired cuisine in a setting that became a community gathering place. Now, as the owner retires, the stage is set for a new restaurateur to continue the tradition – or to create something entirely new. Location is everything, and this one simply can’t be beat. Positioned at the gateway to downtown Nyack, everyone passes 162 Main Street as they enter the village. The property is surrounded by an ever-expanding array of cafes, boutiques, galleries, and professional services, as well as several high-end new rental developments that add to the steady stream of patrons. Street parking lines both sides of Main Street, and ample municipal lots nearby ensure convenience for staff and guests alike. Nyack itself is a magnet: a walkable river town known for its vibrant arts scene, eclectic shops, and celebrated dining culture. Just down the Hudson sits Piermont, another charming riverside village, while Bergen County, New Jersey, is only minutes away. And for those drawing on a broader customer base, New York City is a quick 15-25 miles south via the Mario Cuomo Bridge. With C-1 zoning, the building also offers remarkable flexibility. While perfectly suited to continue as a restaurant, the space could be reimagined for retail, personal services, art galleries, medical or wellness offices, or even developed as a mixed-use building with residential above. As the only freestanding restaurant property in downtown Nyack, 162 Main Street is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to plant your vision in a location steeped in history and buzzing with daily activity.
