Visit West Point, the home of the United States Military Academy. You may also visit The Thayer Hotel, just inside the gates of the academy, for Sunday brunch, lunch, or grab drinks at Zulu Time, their rooftop bar overlooking the Hudson River.
Hudson Valley in the fall is the most beautiful time to take a hike. If you prefer to drive to a scenic view, go to Perkins Memorial Drive and take the road to the tower. On a clear day, you can get a view of New York City in the distance.
Walk the grounds and take in their collection of contemporary outdoor sculptures. Go early on the weekend!
Pick apples, or other in-season fruits/vegetables, and be sure to stop at the market for fresh apple cider donuts. They're Diana's favorite.
Orchard. Beer garden. Craft beers. Amazing cidery. Live music. Animal farm.
Great local winery for tastings. Gets very busy on the weekends!
America's oldest winery. Great tasting and tour.
Awesome, laid-back brewery with over 25 different craft beers on tap. Diana suggests short pours if you can't decide what to have! Bonus: the Christopher's food truck servers up tasty bites to go with your brews. Zack recommends: Ded Moroz Imperial Stout Diana recommends: How’s It Doin’ We both love: Dog’s Bollocks —be careful with this one!
Amazing cocktails. Try the Barn Cat Called Pepper. Beautiful, quiet spot with some outdoor seating and intimate indoor area.
Zack’s favorite: ice cream!
Hotel guests: it's an easy walk to the restaurant from the hotel. Great for dinner or drinks and light bites.
If you feel the need to shop, visit the outlets. Be prepared for crowds this weekend!
