Travel Diary: Hudson, New York

1.27.2014

A few week ago some friends and I took a little trip upstate. Just a two hour drive to a little town called Hudson, New York. After a month of watching Hallmark Holiday movies, now I felt like I was on the set of one. Too cute, and possibly too much perfection, but I am okay with that! I don’t mind if life feels like I am on a movie set all the time. It was antique store after antique store and every little restaurant or diner was filled with vintage finds. So much inspiration, my artist eyes were in heaven. Where to Stay: we stayed at this little bed and breakfast Union Street Guest House. In a historic neighborhood surrounded by beautiful architecture, and just a short walk to Main Street. Our apartment was as charming as ever and filled with a sunlit porch, perfect for sketching while drinking morning coffee. Where to Eat: while I didn’t have time to explore everywhere. There were a lot of options, we ended up having a quiet italian dinner(I don’t remember the name, but guessing the only italian place in town?) and then brunch at Le Gamin the next day. A french little bistro filled with antiques, what a surprise right! Clearly the theme of Hudson. Where to Drink: a few blocks from Main Street is The Half Moon. To me was the perfect mixture of a small town bar feeling, with a bit of Brooklyn to the mix. My kind of place : )
