Food scene

Best coffee, croissant/bread/pastries, great takeaway and place to stop for breakfast/brunch/lunch. The owners and staff are lovely and it’s an 11-minute drive from the house. We probably visit about four times per week. You can also order in advance and pickup for takeaway.

Cocktails are excellent, we also love their burger, the staff is really nice, it’s open late, and they just do a great job all around. A must visit when in Hudson. Their cafe, restaurant and hotel are all incredible, too. Owners are super nice, and also own Bartlett House.

High quality grocery store 1.5 miles from the house that sources incredible produce, great meat, makes their own bread, and you can order in advance to pick up outside if you’d like. They have the largest tent at the Union Square Farmer’s Market and supply many great NYC restaurants, so it’s a true luxury to have this so close to the house.

This diner is awesome that basically serves hamburgers and a few other things. The burgers are incredible, they make their own soda and they have some superlative about how they source the meat.

Really nice grocery store. It’s like Whole Foods meets Dean & Deluca (RIP!) with a dash of white, liberal guilt! That said, their wine edit is great, the meats and offerings couldn’t be better, and the staff is super knowledgeable — they’re how I learned about Japanese Mayo and small batch tequila which You’ll find in the liquor cabinet, and it’s where I go for fish, meat, provisions, etc. 33-minute drive (it’s a beautiful drive, too) from the house.

They only serve the burger at brunch but it’s one of the best I’ve had. Their dinner is really refined and never disappoints. Their coffee bar serves La Colombe. Perfect if you’re taking the train back, as it’s near the Amtrak station. Go for a nice meal.

We love this Greek restaurant. Casual yet legit. Well priced. Works for Gyros or much fancier fare. Eat inside or outside. Food is authentic and just really good.

Breakfast or lunch for diner-style food. The owner (Dan) built it by hand from an old rail car and cooks there, too. Food is good, staff is nice. It’s like something out of a movie. It’s also in Spencertown, which is a darling little hamlet with Greek Revival architecture and was the home of artist Ellsworth Kelly for almost fifty years. He also endowed most of the parks, libraries in the area.

Sightseeing

Outdoor sculpture park and architecture field. You can bring your children, dogs, snowshoes, etc., and it’s free and the perfect way to spend some time after coffee and before venturing into Hudson. I have never taken anyone here who does not love it. Pick up coffee from Bartlett House on the way. You truly must visit this place. It’s also small enough that you can walk it in 30 minutes. If walking is an issue for you, call ahead and they’ll let you use the golf cart.

This hidden used bookstore in the hills above a 7 minute drive from our house is almost unbelievable, since it’s almost too good to be true. The same woman has been operating it for almost fifty years and the selection of books almost beats that of the Strand. Each book is around $3 and I almost feel like it’s a mirage, since it’s so special. You wouldn’t know it exists if you weren’t told about it, since it’s hidden in a back road. Everyone from the community donates their books and shops there, and it makes me so happy this place exists and that everyone in the area is consuming all of this. It’s so truly special and what makes Hillsdale unique. You will not regret visiting and supporting this establishment. The breadth of offerings is truly impressive.

The waterfall here is almost unbelievable when you think about where it’s located. Take the Lower route (after you take the first right) and walk to it (past the sign that tells you not to do so) on the rocks and you can swim in the lagoon. It feels like you’re in Hawaii. This is our pool until we build one at the house. .5 mile walk. You must visit! If you don’t want to swim, take the high road to view it from above.

The house tour is cool, the land is beautiful, the views are unparalleled and it’s worth the visit. Home of Frederick Church, who essentially created America’s first ‘school’ of painting — The Hudson River School, based off the beauty of the area. Totally worth the visit.
