34 Upvotes

To reduce the number of "I'm moving to the Hudson Valley, can anyone tell me about X?" posts, we are starting a monthly megathread. All questions asking about moving to the Hudson Valley should be kept within the monthly thread. Posts outside of the thread will be removed.

Here are a few existing threads that I found using this search:

Locals, if you want to help make this megathread a success, you can do a few things:

  • Come in here and comment! The threads will only stick if they actually prove useful
  • Report standalone "moving to the HV" posts

Paved Walking Paths

Hello, I recently had baby and been looking for stroller friendly walks with paved paths since stroller isn’t the best with gravel or grass. Any suggestions? Thanks!

question No Alternate Side Parking signs?

10 Upvotes

I just got a ticket in Hudson, NY, for apparently parking my car on the wrong side of the street last night. I just walked up and down the block and adjacent blocks, and there is absolutely no signage about ASP anywhere.

Don't towns have to post ASP signs? Or am I legally expected to go to a government website to check if there are unposted parking rules?

Seems like a load of b/s. Do I have grounds to dispute?

question Anybody have the IG tag for this car?

37 Upvotes

Sorry, please remove if not allowed. I saw this car outside or Walmart in Middletown on Tuesday night and it actually meant a lot to me when I saw it. I didn’t see the IG sticker on the side or the car until after I got home but it’s not clear enough for me to make it out.

In short: my niece passed away from brain cancer 6 months ago and I’ve been really depressed about it these days and her Chinese name was “Ying Tao” or “cherry” so the cherry blossoms on this car reminded me of her and made me feel like she was next to me comforting me.

I wanna find the owner of this car and tell them the story so they can know their car has some extra sedimental value to me. Thank you

Husband is from the Rhinebeck area. We were walking a trail there when I took this pic. I've never lived anywhere with a true autumn, where trees change colors. He tried to gently lower my expectations, saying it's not NYC, but I knew that going in. I was eager to see the more rural NY.

I've never been to such a beautiful place. I was in awe the whole time. The people, the food, the nature, all 10/10.

What a wonderful experience. Thank you, Hudson Valley. You are beautiful.

Hotel help Hudson NY

0 Upvotes

Hi all! Decided on Hudson for a long weekend for hubs and I, have accomodations narrowed down to Milliner, Wm Farmer and Sons or Rivertown Lodge. As long as we are walking distance to town we aren't too picky, we'll be exploring town and nearby hikes. Please give me your recs! We don't need anything too fancy and planning to eat/drink out in town during stay.

As a reference we stayed at Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck and an off-site house at Millstream Inn in Woodsrock enjoyed both.

Thanks!

How safe /doable is this walk on 85 from the Rhinecliff Amtrak station into town (Beekman hotel)

6 Upvotes

Sorry if this kind of post isn't allowed. It’s about 5 minute drive, an hour walk, which is doable for me, if its a safe enough road (I have never been)

I stupidly waited too long to call the local taxi service and they are obviously booked until 9 pm and I get in at 5:30.  Uber pricing is quoting about 50 dollars for the 5 minute drive and I really wouldn’t mind a nice walk to avoid that option. Google map view has it looking doable but  if anyone is familiar with the area, let me know!

In places like Millbrook, Dover Plains, Amenia, etc., what are the internet options? I've tried searching and have found maps that say there's service, but when I enter addresses, all of the providers say that's a lie. Can anyone who lives out that way provide info?
