By Erin|2024-04-09T00:06:33+00:00April 7th, 2022|Weekend Guides|

Hudson, NY is the perfect town for your maiden voyage upstate — in fact, it was ours! This once "sleepy town" now brands itself the "downtown of Upstate" with 200 independent establishments including antique and boutique shops, hotels, art galleries, restaurants and bars, mostly along Warren Street. Visually, this charming town is a treat, delighting visitors and aesthetes with its stunning and Wes Anderson-esque architecture. The restoration of some 300 historic buildings in two square miles makes it one of the historically richest, and most diverse architectural cities in New York State.

"Bovina?! What the hell'er you doin' there? Ain't nothin there but cows!" asked a local with a guffaw. We'd just told him our plans to spend the weekend there after asking directions from Delhi. Though a tad dramatic, the guy's reaction wasn't unwarranted, because what he said was true. On the drive into ...

Denny and I are always on the hunt for new, cool places to explore and rest our heads. Though we usually end up in the Catskills and Hudson Valley, a friend recently challenged us to "lay off the Catskills." Up for the challenge, we left our comfort zone and looked north. Real ...

My other half (and adventuring partner) Darren and I live in Pennsylvania and New Jersey (respectively.) We'd been meaning to head up to Watkins Glen, New York ever since we found some old photos in an antique shop showing some long-gone tourist's photos of the gorge. This past May, as spring was springing, ...
