1. About This Guide
<aside>
🧭 This guide is a work-in-progress overview of Hudson Valley’s greatest hits according to the H&M, D&M, and A&A families. Recommendations included for weekenders, visitors, and locals with discerning taste.
TL;DR, Hudson is equidistant between New York and Boston… with easy rail access to Manhattan… surrounded by fertile farmland and global warming resistant environment… and thanks to the pandemic, one of the fastest growing culinary and remote work destinations in the country.
