This time of the year the Hudson Valley comes alive! There is so much to see and enjoy with our annual festival of lights, decorated historic sites and the many music venues in the area that there does not seem to be enough time to do it all.
One facet of the holidays that we always make time for is enjoying our family and friends. Each year we repeat the traditions that we hold dear and create new ones that we hope will be passed on. Visiting antique shops is the perfect addition. Most are decorated for the holiday season and host “Open House” events for your enjoyment while offering a wide selection of unique holiday gifts to make your shopping easier.
Vintage decorations, estate jewelry, linens, silver, crystal, china, ephemera, vintage clothing and purses, books, magazines, coins, antique furniture to a highly desirable mid-century modern fi nd, high end art to a framed print are just a few items that would make a perfect gift. Why not start a collection for that special someone – a vintage camera for the photographer in the family, a china teacup for the lover of tea, sports collectibles for the sports enthusiast ~ the possibilities are endless.
Fine antiques to vintage fi nds with a price range from $2 to $5000 you are sure to fi nd the one of a kind gift that you are looking for. This year why not try shopping in one of our area’s wonderful Antique Centers or Shops. Let us help you make your holiday shopping easier!

The Hudson Valley has long been known as a key destination for Fall foliage when the magnifi cent colors come alive. Vibrant red, orange and yellow make a day trip, weekend getaway or a few days away breathtaking!
It begins in late August and early September in the Adirondack and Catskill mountains and spreads across the hills and valleys ending on Long Island and in New York City in late October to early November. Typically the colors complete their cycles over a two week period in any given area. The peek brilliance of the color changes lasts three to four days.
Seasonal conditions and the resultant chemical changes in the leaves are the key factors in the timing and coloration of the leaves. Usually, clear, sunny days and cool nights with temperatures in the 40’s encourage the most striking autumn colors.
Three chemicals within the leaves are responsible for the color changes. As our days shorten and our temperatures cool, these chemicals begin the color changing process.
There are many wonderful state parks, historical sites and hiking locations to enjoy this wonderful act of nature. You can take a walk on the Walkover Over the Hudson, enjoy a boat cruise on the Hudson River, take a scenic drive on the gorgeous Taconic State Parkway or Route 9 from Yonkers to Peeksill.
With so many locations to choose from, we have compiled a brief list in addition to the ones we just mentioned above.

Follow the
It’s apple time in the Hudson Valley. Make autumn memories along New York’s permiere Apple Trail. The Hudson Valley Apple Trail is conveniently located 60 miles north of New York City at the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains.
“It was quite a process but currently we are the ONE and ONLY N.Y. State Apple Trail complete with signage” explains Susan from Hurds Family Farm. The trail is a collaboration of 7 family owned apple orchards each providing a unique apple picking experience. Each orchard offers pick-your-own apples as well as homegrown produce, a farm stand where you can purchase local favorites such as fresh pressed apple cider, homemade fruit pies, fruit butters, jams, stone fruit and the all time famous cider donuts. Each farm offers a unique experience worth visiting.
Follow the NEW green state signs to each of the seven orchards in the New Paltz area. Harvest-your-own crisp apples at the 7 family farms along an easy 25 mile loop off the NYS Thruway (I-87). Exit 18 (New Paltz). Experience the Farm Fresh Fall Fun.

Follow me as we tour the inner sanctum of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. We wander down dark and winding roads soaking up history marked only by slabs of stone. Shadowy fi gures dance across statuesque monuments that line the night sky. Gravel crunches beneath our feet as we follow the glistening refl ection of light streaming from our lanterns while we lurk through this vast city of the dead—Are you afraid? We roam though the lush, rolling hills of the famous—or should I say infamous cemetery. We stop. There’s no turning back.
How appropriate! We are now standing at the grave of legendary author Washington Irving who wrote one of the greatest ghost stories ever to originate in the Hudson Valley—The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. You may want to hold on to your head at this moment. The phantom horseman could make an appearance when you least expect it. You see, he is searching for a replacement for his missing head—any head will do.
History tells us that the villainous headless horseman was actually based on a Hessian soldier who was beheaded by a cannonball during the American Revolution. Now, follow me as we make way toward the under ground Receiving Vault.
Everyone is dying to see the former crypt of Barnabas Collins, the 200-year-old vampire from the Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows portrayed by the late Jonathan Frid. The burial scene in the 1970’s fi lm, House of Dark Shadows, was fi lmed at this rural cemetery.
The skeleton key clanks in the keyhole, and the lock releases. Slowly the door creaks open, and you are welcomed with a waft of stale air—it’s getting late, and we move on.
Listen, you can hear the rushing waters of the Pocantico River cut their way through the darkest part of the cemetery. We’re getting closer to the Headless Horseman Bridge.
As we explore our mysterious surroundings, we admire the great works of art left behind to memorialize those who have left us from elite socialites to unfamiliar and peculiar residents. We learn about NYC real estate moguls, Leona and Harry Helmsley; steel magnate, Andrew Carnegie; noted spiritualist, Dr. Eugene Crowell; and the founder of Standard Oil, William Rockefeller—just to to name a few. Sadly, it’s time to turn in our lanterns.
As you can imagine, there is nothing dead about this 163 year-old cemetery. It’s just as spirited as the tour guides who share its rich past. Thousands of people journey to this celebrated cemetery each year to hear the tales of amazing individuals who have made history and left magnifi cent monuments to their success.

Some view the winter season as a time of inactivity. Not so in the Hudson Valley region, where winter brings with it a host of outdoor seasonal activities! From the intense to the fun & playful, for exercise or simply for peace of mind, the winter season is a great time to get outdoors and experience the Hudson Valley in a completely different way! From classic activities like skiing and ice skating, to the more unique sports like ice yachting and snow tubing, the common theme among all of these things-to-do is the pristine natural environment in which they all take place. So bundle up, and explore the various winter activities in the Hudson Valley!
Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding - You don’t have to take a long car ride out of state to experience some big mountain skiing and snowboarding. The Hudson Valley offers relatively quick access to some of the best ski resorts in New York State! Whether your passion is skiing or snowboarding, beginner or pro, there are plenty of great trails for all types and skill levels. Local ski resorts in a nutshell? We’d have to say Belleayre Mountain is best for beginners, being a smaller mountain. Belleayre also gets bonus points for being the closest to our area at less than an hour’s drive from Woodstock NY. For snowboarders, we recommend Hunter Mountain, which has a sick terrain park to practice tricks. The biggest nearby mountain is Windham Mountain and though it may be a little further away, it provides that “big-mountain” feel of more distant, northeastern ski resorts. The Mid-Hudson Valley also has a number of smaller-scale resorts ideal for small children and beginners. Ulster County happens to be close to both NYC, and all of this great skiing and snowboarding. So it’s no wonder why this part of the Hudson Valley is a top choice for New Yorkers looking for downhill winter action!
Ice Yachting – “Ice Yachting?” That’s the usual response we hear when mentioning it, but this is a thrilling and historic winter sport unique to the Hudson Valley! In fact ice yachting or “ice boating” was born here, and the region remains a leader in the sport to this day. Steeped in over 100 years of tradition, ice boats function like sailboats on giant ice skates, and can reach some adrenaline pumping speeds! The Hudson River Ice Yacht Club (founded in the 1800’s by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s uncle, John A. Roosevelt) keeps the tradition alive by offering free rides to the public when conditions allow.
Cross-Country Skiing – Very different from its downhill cousin, cross country skiing is a great aerobic workout! It’s also a fun way to tour around the Hudson Valley after a fresh snowfall and see the area in a whole new way! If you like to jog and get bummed out when winter rolls around, cross country skiing may be just what you need to maintain a challenging (some say even more so than jogging) workout. Or perhaps if you’re experiencing some cabin fever or would like some peace and quiet, the gliding of skis across snow is both soothing and fun. We suggest you jump on the nearest local Rail Trail and enjoy! Depending on where in the Hudson Valley you’re located, there’s sure to be an ancient railroad line nearby which has been transformed into a smooth path, just perfect for cross country skiing! The rail trails can be accessed from Poughkeepsie & Highland NY (via the Hudson Valley Rail Trail) or Gardiner & New Paltz NY (via the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail) from High Falls & Cottekill NY Hurley (the Marbletown Rail Trail) on up to Hurley & Kingston NY (the Hurley Rail Trail)! Mostly fl at and level, and offering over 10+ miles of trails combined, the Rail Trails are perfect for beginners but challenging enough for a great workout! Also, our local state parks like Minnewaska and the Mohonk Preserve offer miles upon miles of stunning trails. Beautiful and peaceful, these Gardiner NY area parks provide less travelled and at times challenging trails through the pristine Ulster County NY countryside.
Winter Activities in theHudson Valley
Ice Skating – Ice skating in the Hudson Valley is another winter activity that can be fun for everyone. Leisurely, romantic, fun for adults, kids, boys and girls, ice skating improves balance and strength. Ice hockey is an action packed sport that is a blast to play with a group of friends, and fi gure skating is an art form that combines dancing and athleticism. Looking for a nice, smooth rink to practice on? You can go to the Kiwanis Ice Arena in Saugerties NY, which is an Olympic-sized, fully enclosed rink. Or go to the Mohonk Mountain Ice Skating Pavilion in New Paltz NY, which is an old-fashioned, outdoor ice rink that is fun and dare we say, romantic? Or you can visit the Moriello Park Ice Rink also in New Paltz, which is a newly opened outdoor ice rink. However the best part about ice skating in the Hudson Valley is that you only need to have a friend or nice neighbor with a little pond on their property (or maybe even lucky enough to have one yourself!) and you’ve instantly got a fun winter activity!
Snow Tubing – What could be more fun and carefree than sledding down a snowy hill? Though many of us may be old enough to remember when we actually used “sleds”, snow tubes have rightfully taken their place as the top choice for the smoothest, fastest ride down a snowy hill. These days, snow tubing is almost as popular as skiing and snowboarding, and is the perfect option for non-skiers who still want a thrilling ride! Both Windham Mountain and Hunter Mountain, the above-mentioned local downhill ski resorts offer snow tubing on their trails. A more localized option is the Sawkill Family Ski Center in Kingston NY. This facility is a sort of “mini-mountain” and offers smaller scale slopes for snow-tubing and beginner/child skiing and snowboarding. As you drive around Ulster County however, you may spot a few perfect hills yourself, in which case you need only a snow tube and your inner-child (and permission!) to have an awesome time.
Ice Fishing – Ice fi shing is a unique winter sport because snow is not required to have a great time. As long as temperatures are below freezing, you’ve got the ideal conditions! People sometimes envision a lone fi sherman stooped over a hole in the middle of nowhere when they think of ice fi shing. To the contrary, ice fi shing can be a family/group activity just like regular fi shing; and you’re not even confi ned to a boat! It can be a scientifi c and strategic endeavor, with skills and traditions passed down from generation to generation. Or, it can just be a good old time; where you drill a hole and hang out with plenty of friends and refreshments! If you’re new to the sport, it’s best to go with an experienced ice fi sher fi rst to get the basics down. Orange Lake in nearby Orange County is well known local ice – fi shing spot, but really any lake will do to get the experience (make sure you have permission!) Please remember, when dealing with frozen lakes and ponds, always think safety fi rst!
Snow Shoeing, Winter Hiking, & Running – More great sports for the antsy, out-of-season jogger! 1st option: Never stop running! There are a number of local running clubs (such as the Saugerties NY based Rip Van Winkle Runners Club or the Onteora NY Runners Club) that host morning winter runs. They show joggers how to stay safe and warm while running in the winter time, and usually wrap up their runs with a nice group breakfast! Snow shoeing is a classic winter activity that gives a whole new perspective on our environment. Mohonk Mountain and Minnewaska State Park both offer snow shoe rentals on premises and miles of trails to explore at varying difficulties and skill levels. However a nice aspect of snow shoeing is that you really only need some snow on the ground and a pair of snow shoes (which you can borrow from a friend or purchase for a relatively low cost). Then, just pick your favorite snow-covered area in which to wander and enjoy! For the really rugged and adventurous, no snow shoes are required! You can always simply “hike” in the winter time, but be very aware of safety. Make sure you are dressed properly and have the right boots for trudging through snow. It’s also best to hike on designated trails in the winter, and either with a buddy or after notifying someone of your intentions to hike that day.
Winters in the Hudson Valley are an amazing time to get outdoors and enjoy this area! For exercise or relaxation, either with the kids (or to get away from the kids!) there are any number of winter activities available to you to keep you outside, active and healthy throughout the winter season!

Prior to the 20th Century, “cider” meant one thing: hard cider. Without refrigeration, there was no way to keep “sweet cider” fresh, so all cider was the fermented, alcoholic variety. Early Americans – including children – drank hard cider thirstily; it was often safer than the available drinking water. John Adams famously declared it his breakfast drink of choice.
Back then it was in abundant supply. Orchards were everywhere, and cidermaking was commonplace. Thanks to one legendary Johnny who scattered apple seeds across the frontier, apple trees proliferated in America, giving rise to thousands of apple varieties. But apple trees grown from seed will create unpredictable results – the majority of those frontier trees yielded inedible, bitter, tart, tannic, and acidic apples. Terrible for eating, excellent for hard cider.
America was an apple culture with thousands of varieties of apples – as many as 16,000 varieties were named and eaten. Many were pressed into (hard) cider, once considered a quintessentially American drink. Cider and rural life were inextricably linked. In 1726, a Massachusetts village of forty families put up 10,000 barrels. Where currency was rare, cider was bartered for the services of a minister, a doctor, and a teacher. The cider barrel became a quintessential symbol of American character – by serving cider to voters, William Harrison handily won the presidency in 1840.
However, Temperance, then Prohibition, and the rise of grain-based beer and spirits led to the fall of cider in America. Orchards were razed in the name of sobriety, and our tremendous apple diversity dwindled. The apple, once accepted as raw material for alcohol, was recast as a healthy food – and the word “cider” was re-coined to connote fresh juice. This near-disappearance of hard cider in the last century took with it a potent piece of our cultural and culinary heritage.
In recent years, hard cider has had a bad reputation in the American market. Admittedly, all that’s generally been available is a cloyingly sweet, fi zzy, six-pack “alco-pop” that’s industrially mass-produced and often from concentrate.
However, hard cider can be something far superior. Real, traditional hard ciders offer a world of complex and delicious fl avors: from sweet to dry, earthy to fruity. Each one is different, created with different blends of varying apples in unique fermentation conditions. Until recently, the only such ciders available to us came from Europe. (It’s only in the U.S. that “cider” has come to mean the freshly pressed, non-alcoholic juice of apples. In the rest of the world, “cider” still means a slightly alcoholic drink made from fermented apple juice.)
But a renaissance for fi ne domestic cider is afoot, poised to echo the craft beer phenomenon. Such ciders are being made in small craft cideries across the country – and the Hudson Valley is taking the lead.
There are only a certain number of regions in the country that can be cider regions. Places where apples grow, where people can go to discover cider while enjoying the landscape that produces it. And all the key pieces are here in the Hudson Valley – so many reasons to become a hard cider fan!
As this original cider returns to our cuisine, the Hudson Valley will emerge as a cider region. It will require the reintroduction of special “hard cider apple varieties.” There’s a difference: fermented cider is not made from apples you would want to eat. Most traditional cider apples are hard, bitter, tannic, acidic and their juice would not be very appealing before fermentation. Just like heirloom vegetables or heritage livestock breeds, these varieties have languished from a lack of demand, and lack of demand for the products to which they are well-suited (in this case, hard cider and apple brandy).
Today, America is home to only a quarter of the 20 millionapple trees we grew in 1900, and our apple diversity has beenpared back to just a few varieties. Now, 41% of all Americanapples are just one variety: Red Delicious; and only elevenvarieties constitute 90% of apples sold in chain grocery stores.But the new wave of apple-growing cider producers is nowreviving long-forgotten heirloom varieties from America’scidermaking heritage. So when you seek out their cider, youare inspiring this proliferation of heirloom apples.
Hard cider is made much in the same way wine is produced.Yeasts added to apple juice eat the sugars and convert themto alcohol. Depending on the cidermaker’s style, the resultcould be still (like wine) or slightly sparkling (more likechampagne). The fl avors that result is not always sweet andjuicy like an apple – like wine, there is a tremendous rangeand diversity of fl avor and style. Though long considered arustic “draft” drink, you might be surprised how elegant andfood-friendly cider can be!
Cider’s reappearance brings welcome opportunity to ourregion’s orchards. Cider adds value to apples, distinguishesapple growers, and allows them to diversify. In recent years, asgrowers have been challenged by rising costs of productionand globalized markets, apple acreage has declined. Statewide,the number of orchards has decreased by nearly 75 percent since the 1950s, and in the Hudson Valley, acreage in applesdeclined by 14% from 2002 to 2007 (the most recent AgriculturalCensus years), while the number of apple orchards went downby 25%. Considering that fruit trees take years to becomeestablished, these losses are signifi cant.
And yet, locally made apple alcohol is turning apple-farming into a growth industry—taking a page from the burgeoning local wine movement. In just a generation, New York wines went from being relatively unknown to being proudly featured in the fi nest restaurants— and the number of vineyards in the state went up by 25 percent in the decade between 1997 and 2007. That expansion is the result of the evolving sophistication of local vineyards, and the enthusiastic reception of drinkers.
Recognizing the opportunity for apple growers to benefi t from cidermaking, Glynwood (an agricultural non-profi t near Cold Spring, NY)launched “The Apple Project” in 2011 to encourage greater productionand appreciation of hard cider and apple spirits. Through this program,a group of leading Hudson Valley hard cider and apple spirits producersparticipated in a cultural exchange with makers of cidre and Calvados inNormandy, France (where a long history of making cider and apple brandy has endured). And a new initiative called Cider Week was launched: a week in October when area restaurants and bars feature hard cider. This year’s celebration will last from Oct 12 – 21 (www.ciderweek.com).
Out of all these efforts a new association of hard cider and apple spirits producers has formed, called the Hudson Valley Cider Alliance. This is a group of apple growers, cider makers, and distillers who are starting to grow more of the old cider apple varieties for hard cider and spirits like apple brandy. As a group, they are working towards bringing the Hudson Valley into the spotlight of the cider revival – see the list below to taste their delicious drink!
If you ask any of these emerging artisanal cidermakers and distillers what single thing would ensure their success, and they will answer in unison: demand. As Hudson Valley drinkers, we can provide that, deliciously, by developing a taste for regional hard cider and requesting more of it in our shops, pubs and restaurants. Let’s put a spirited spin on that old slogan, and drink an apple a day—to keep away the suburbanization of the Hudson Valley and the extinction of our apple history. With the Hudson Valley at the forefront of the local foodmovement, apples can become our emblem of a vibrant culture of regional food and drink. Let’s raise a glass of hard cider to toast apple biodiversity, orchardists’ livelihoods, and a future of fi ne Hudson Valley hard cider.
