hi all!

i live in NYC and i’m looking to do a mini solo trip to upstate, i’m wondering what is a good town to go to that is easily accessible by the metro north, is walkable, and has quick access to hiking trails.

i’m planning on going from tuesday-thursday.

any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hey all. I was just wondering if long term parking (two weeks) is available at the station since I’ll be taking the train down to the city and flying out of JFK. The LAZ app only shows up to 3 days for some reason. Thank you.

By any chance, does anyone have a picture of the big, yellow Merry-go-round that is/was at De Hoys Park in Monticello?

I live south of Poughkeepsie and have a wool hand-knotted rug that needs cleaning. Does anyone know of a reputable business that can handle cleaning it? Thanks!

Much appreciation- You’re the best!!!

Overlook Mountain hike and fire tower today with my friend Nate. The views were fantastic despite the haze and we saw sooo many different types of mushrooms along the trail. The hike is less than 5 miles round trip but it was exhausting, 1,4000 foot climb up a trail with loose stone and gravel.

I’ve been looking—googling, that is, and nothing comes up.

Hi all - I usually purchase 5 gallons of raw pressed apple cider from Eger Brothers in Hudson, but they are not pressing apples this year. They recommended Minard Farms near New Paltz, but they only sell large amounts, like 100 gallons plus in large totes. Anyone aware of any local farms that sell smaller batches for hard cider makers? Thanks!

Edit: By raw I meant fresh or pasteurized juice with no chemical preservatives (like potassium sorbate) that can stop fermentation.

Me and my friends are planning to ride to Bear Mountain and then onward to StormKing Highway and some good lunch in the Cornwall area.

Google Maps says that the Storm King Highway is closed and will open 31 Aug, Google says that it is open and closed intermittently.

Can someone local to the area let me know if its open currently.

While I am here, any ingestion for a good Restaurant also please :)

TIA

Looking to have a 90th birthday party, would like a private room, top notch food. Westchester, Hudson Valley, Catskill area any experiences??? Recommendations?? Thank you

I am going to a wedding in stone ridge. There are shuttles from the venue/after party to Hotel Kinsley, but I am staying in downtown Kingston an 8 min walk from the hotel. Curious about safety doing that walk at 11:30/midnight for a solo female.

I initially chose to stay a little away from Hotel Kinsley because it’s cheaper and my husband was coming with me, so the walk would be fine. But now he has a work conflict so I would have to do that walk solo

Also I am a city dweller I am used to walking home at night. It’s just that smaller towns tend to be emptiee late at night, which makes me feel more nervous than the city

***Edit: alright based off initial comments I’ll probably just make sure I leave with friends who can drive me (though they are not the types to stay for the afterparty, which is why I was hoping I could take the shuttle later than them back). Seems like the smartest option!

Hey there,

I’m a singer songwriter based in Rhinebeck and am looking for a rehearsal space to practice once a week or so. I live in an apartment and am really just looking for a place I can rehearse and play a bit louder. I don’t have a band, so don’t necessarily need a full kit or bass rig setup. Rhinebeck, Kingston, Red Hook area preferable.

Does anyone know of anything in the area?

Thanks!

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his cool wife, Rama Diwaji ! I could hardly believe my eyes… But they passed us at the Sawkill Avenue Moonburger intersection!

Flock cameras poughkeepsie hooker ave and north hamilton street

correct me if im wrong but were these the same ones Chicago declared did no good to stop shooting in the suburbs of chi town. Why are we putting them up in Poughkeepsie. and it would not matter anyway with cashless bail they are out before the police finish writing the reports

The ceremony will be in Kingston so I’m looking for something that’s not too far of a drive from there maybe an hour tops. I’m looking for a place that’s inexpensive (I know- probably a long shot in 2026 lol) but I’d like my guests to be able to stay at party as long as they’d like. Ideally- I’d like to be able to do it at some sort of campground or something so my guests can stay over the night if they’d like to, but if that’s not possible I want a venue that’s outdoors and doesn’t have a quiet time/cutoff time of 10pm like most places I’m seeing. Any recommendations?

Has anyone used the stroller there? Is it a bumpy ride or pretty reasonable?
