Olana, Montgomery Place, Vanderbilt Mansion, twice. Washington Irving, Kykuit. Boscobel. Tarrytown, route 9. But mostly, Olana remained into my heart, very deeply. Lyndhurst castle, Staatsburg twice. Albany - The Empire Plaza. Howe Carverns. West Point.

The Hudson Valley is one of our favorite places. Absolutely beautiful the whole length of it. The Hudson Valley is immense, too. You’ll only see a piece of it if you go for a week. Oh, and don’t forget all the historic places to visit.

Sarah, I loved the video. Actually, I live in the Hudson Valley (Cold Spring) and have been to many of the places you highlighted with my husband. Our little village is flooded on the weekends with visitors who arrive by boat, car or train so we would head North to the villages you mentioned. You should think about Cold Spring for a video as it offers hiking, canoeing, historical sites, antique shops, restaurants, and many more adventures. We are about 1 hr 15 minutes from Grand Central. Bella is getting so big. Thanks for sharing your videos.

Great video! Love the Hudson Vlalley! Have visited Caramoor, Riverdale, Tarrytown, and Yonkers thanks to Metronorth train! Just visited charming Cold Spring yesterday from taking a Seastreak ferry fall foliage tour and this village is truly cute and charming! Did some antique shopping and dined at Hudson Hils on Main St, and took many pics! Relaxing sightseeing trip away from the city! Will come back soon! Gotta visit Katterskill Falls, Saratoga Springs and Lake George! 😍❤️🌊🚢⚓️🍁🍂

The Village of Haverstraw is literally a town of Hispanic restaurants everywhere. Take the train from Grand Central Terminal to Ossining and then take the ferry to cross the other side that takes you to the widest area of the Hudson River with breathtaking views arriving at the harbor of Haverstraw.

It's a museum of outdoor artwork surrounded by a vast forest and mountains. Other than that, it has a few cool wineries/vineyards. NYC folks would love to visit all these places!

Used to work in the Hudson Valley commuting from Manhattan. Now bouncing back and forth between the city as a dual resident of both places. Region is separated by lower, middle, and upper. Saratoga Springs is in the Upper Hudson Valley but it is better known as the Capital District/Region which is officially Upstate NY. I once stepped into Ole Savannah in Kingston but I didn't eat there.

@toddjennings6263 Жыл бұрын

Great video, Sarah. And Terrapin is a great place to eat. But to be sure, Rhinebeck isn't "in the Catskills". Dutchess County is rife with farms and vineyards, and is wedged between the Hudson River and the Berkshire Mountains.

In your video how do you not mention blue hill at stone barns. It’s one of the best restaurants nyc or ny state for that matter can offer diners. It also comes with an hour and a half tour before your dinner.

I think you just like the excuse to wear the big hats :-) Lots of trips to the Hudson Valley - but isn't Saratoga Springs actually north and west of the "Hudson Valley"? Damn, it's off the Northway - a lot more 'dacks than Hudson Valley. I'll look into Wander on my next trip north - thanks. BTW - went to the Edge this past weekend and my daughter Jenna did "The Climb". Great experience - Climb may be expensive but it's really safe and they even give you the video - which was a pleasant surprise.

@williampennjr.4448 Жыл бұрын

Yes, NYC is not part of the Hudson valley. So many people make that mistake. The HudsonValleyy is the towns and villages that start in Yonkers and go up to Albany NY. It actually borders NYC (the Bronx) so saying it less than 2 hours away is quite an exaggeration.

@tatyanna408 2 жыл бұрын

Just came back from visiting NYC for an entire week (my first time). Honestly, I feel as if the city is overhyped. Times Square was pretty lame is just a street with billboards and annoying people. I’ll have to visit again in the next year. (If it matters where I’m from: Fort Lauderdale, FL born, raised, and still live in FL) The streets are differently congested. And no matter where I went in Manhattan, there’s always unfinished construction somewhere. Definitely experienced weird smells, outside of Central Park is horrendous on 59 St (tons of poop everywhere especially by the horses). Saw trash on the street, however, did not encounter a rat which I’m thankful for. New Yorkers definitely take brunch seriously, on the weekends you would barely see anyone outside before 10am and everyone is outside by 6pm.

@jr23kid 2 жыл бұрын

That’s because you didn’t know what to do or where to look. Nyc is amazing. Ft isn’t a big city, been there and didn’t really do anything except for spring training. You need to look at what you want to do in ny before you go and when. Then decide if it’s great or not.

Every New Yorker knows that Times Square is the worst! If you were only in midtown you are bound to hate it. I'm from the NYC suburbs, but I actually live in Fort Lauderdale now. We definitely have the best beaches down here, but I miss the excitement of the city! There is always something going on in NYC whether its art, live music, events in the park, etc. Definitely impossible to compare FTL to NYC, but each have it's pros and cons.
