Things To Do
Dia:Beacon
NY Magazine called it Soho on the Hudson. This museum is set in a former Nabisco printing plant built in 1929 and houses an amazing contemporary art collection. We went here on our first excursion outside of NYC. It's one of our favorite museums of all time! So worth seeing.
Storm King Art Center
Storm King is an extraordinary, 500-acre sculpture park with large-scale works by world-renowned artists like Alexander Calder, Maya Lin, Roy Liechtenstein, Donald Judd, Richard Serra, and Louise Bourgeois. Hike, picnic, lounge -- it's a 30 minute shuttle ride from the Beacon train station, just across the river from Beacon.
Kayaking on the Hudson River
A unique, relaxing way to see the Hudson and some stunning views and highly mysterious Bannerman Castle.
The Roundhouse Restaurant & Hotel
Designed by the Rockwell Group, The Roundhouse, is worth a visit to see the water and the grounds. The restaurant interior is beautifully done and has an outdoor patio and an inside lounge -- both perfect to get lunch, cocktails and bites to eat.
The Kitchen Sink
A great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Homespun Foods
Great place for lunch or takeout dinner.
