Rachel & Brian
We are so excited to bring you to the gorgeous Hudson Valley during our favorite season! Especially being there the weekend after Halloween, will make it extra exciting. Rachel and Brian did some exploring so they could make personal recommendations for our guests. Here are some of our favorite places that we found!
Food/Drink
RMV Cellars
This is one of the reasons we fell in love with RMV! Its kid and dog friendly and has wonderful food, and of course RMV's great wine and beer (and zero proof drinks).
The Hudson House & Distillery
If you're looking for a great cocktail and a beautiful water view. This is your spot! They also have events throughout the weekend (including our Welcome Drinks), but probably some fun Halloween stuff.
Locust Grove Brewing Company
Rachel & Brian love this spot! Have some great beer overlooking and orchard and water. Not much food here, but they have some snacks behind the bar and they sometimes have food trucks.
The Lemon Squeeze New Paltz
If you're looking for somewhere "moody," this spot has great cocktails, a piano, and pictures of Amy Winehouse in black and white.
Bacchus Restaurant, Brewery & Billiards
This place is so fun! It has a huge billiards room, a ton of beer on tap, and beer hall/log cabin vibes!
Brooklyn Cider House
Another great family/pup friendly spot! And the location of the picture above. Get some great hard cider and wood fire pizzas (also pick your own apples if you want) here!
Mill House Brewing Company
Big spot with a full restaurant and beer on the side of the river with the hotels.
Hudson & Packard
DETROIT STYLE PIZZA! Yum.
Jar'd Wine Pub
If you're looking for a cozy small spot with some natural wines, here is your place.
The Parish
Some New Orleans Flair in New Paltz.
Zeus Brewing Company
Another great brewery near the hotels.
Cosimo's Trattoria & Bar
We haven't been yet, but our vendors LOVE it.
Palace Diner
24 hour diner. Enough said.
Activities
There are so many great things to explore and do in this area. Tons of biking and hiking trails. Below are a few places we've heard of or scoped out.
We will keep an eye on any fun Halloween actvities.
Also, if you're just looking to stroll around. We love walking around the cute downtown area of New Paltz. Or you can take a 30 minute drive north to Kingston, which has some great shops and restaurants.
Wallkill View Farm Market
Great farmers market! Get amazing donuts and do some pumpkin picking here.
DuBois Farms
We haven't been here yet, but its a well known spot for pumpkin picking!
Rocking Horse Ranch Resort
