Fuel for the Road at Sloatsburg Travel Plaza, NY
If you’re road-tripping along the New York State Thruway (I-87) and need a solid break, the Sloatsburg Travel Plaza is a surprisingly good pit stop. On our way northbound, we pulled off at Exit 33N and were pleasantly surprised by the range of food options and clean, modern setup. It’s more than just your typical gas-and-go spot.
We stopped for lunch and went big with Panda Express—and I mean big. The portions here were generous, which is exactly what you need when you’re a few hours into a drive and still have more miles ahead. I had the Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken, both of which hit the spot. The orange chicken had that perfect sweet-and-savory balance with a crispy coating, while the kung pao had a nice kick and a good mix of veggies and peanuts for crunch.
The dining area was clean and had plenty of seating, which made for a comfortable, quick lunch break. Service was efficient, even though it was decently busy.
