Things to Do
Storm King Art Center

Newburgh Vintage Emporium Warehouse
One of our favorite thrifting spots when we're upstate. There are two locations - both are great!
Main Street - Beacon, NY
Head to downtown Beacon and enjoy the various shops, restaurants, bars, and art galleries. Stop by Happy Valley Arcade Bar and then get Glazed Over Donuts across the street or get brunch at Wonderbar before a movie at the Beacon.

Valkyrie Coffee Roasters
For the coffee aficionados to get their fix.
