The other weekend was spent touring the river town of Irvington with the lovely folk of And North.
{I like reminiscing about a weekend upstate in the middle of a busy work week!}
It encompassed all of my favorite ways to spend a leisurely Sunday – reading the paper on the train, exploring a farmer’s market and striking up conversations with makers and doers, exploring hidden trails, tasting everything at the cutest Red Barn bakery, and sipping on organic cider and chatting with old friends and making new ones while hiding from sudden torrential rain on the terrace of the scenic old Cosmopolitan headquarters building.
Now doesn’t that all sound good? Check out some of the places we visited here and let’s do it again soon.
{p.s.} My to-do list:
What a fantastic weekend. How appealing! Hope you can visit again soon. 🙂
Thank you, I hope so too! There is a summer festival there next weekend.. 🙂
What a lovely outing…the Hudson River area has so much to see and do.
I love the Hudson Valley! It’s such an easy getaway.
I love areas where there are a lot of heritage buildings. Our region is very development-driven, so there isn’t much respect for older buildings, unfortunately. (My neighbourhood has a lot of hundred-year-old houses, though, which are fun to discover when we’re walking around.)
It’s sometimes easy to forget, living in NY, that there is so much history surrounding us! I really enjoy visiting all the smaller historical towns in the Hudson Valley.
