For a quick sojourn from New York that offers plenty of history and activities, journey to the Hudson Valley district. Easily accessible via Amtrak, the city of Hudson is known as the “downtown of upstate” with its 50+ antique shops, 300 historic buildings, 10 bed & breakfasts, and many popular restaurants. We’d recommended renting a car for the 120-mile drive to take in the scenic sights, including farm stands, retro diners, and, of course, the river.
