Things To Do
Storm King Art Center
A favorite museum of ours. Over 500 acres of large-scale sculpture and unmatched views of the Hudson Valley.
Clay at Wildflower Farms
A must-do if you have time. This is the farm-to-table restaurant at the newest Auberge Resorts property, Wildflower Farms. After you eat, move over to the Great Porch to admire the views. Great option for Saturday daytime or for dinner on Friday!
Dia Beacon
Another favorite for contemporary art. We love the architecture (located in a former Nabisco box factory!) and views of the Hudson.
Hiking Trails & State Parks
The hiking trails around the Hudson Valley are beautiful. Here are some of our favorites: Bear Mountain State Park Hudson Highlands State Park Breakneck Ridge Bull Hill (Mt. Taurus) Ninham Mountain Fire Tower
Breweries & Vineyards
Hudson Valley Brewery The Factory @ Sloop Brewing (Juice Bomb IPA!) Industrial Arts Brewing Company Fjord Vineyards Millbrook Vineyards & Winery
The Roundhouse
Modern American cuisine inspired by the agriculture of the Hudson Valley. Beautiful restaurant and great option for dinner on Friday night before the Welcome Party.
Wonderbar Beacon
Specialty cocktails & lighter fare. Think salads, crudos, flatbreads, and a great burger!
Beacon Bread Company
Breakfast / brunch option. Walk-in only, so grab a coffee and explore Main Street while you wait!
Cold Spring Cheese
Pick-up sandwiches for a casual lunch. Also has a sister location in Beacon.
Angie’s Bake Shop & Cafe
Easy lunch before or after a hike. Sandwiches, salads, and great coffee and baked goods.
Other Hudson Valley
If you have a car and want to explore other parts of the Hudson Valley, we would highly recommend Hudson or Rhinebeck (both ~1hr) which have a cool / hip atmosphere and great food and shopping.
