Whenever Teen Traveler has an extracurricular activity that takes her away from home for a weekend, Rich and I try to make the most of our 48 hours of treasured kid-free couple-time. We often head to Dutchess County where we can enjoy an easy, affordable and fun night or two away from home and be back in NYC in time for her return.
Two hours from NYC in the Hudson Valley, Dutchess has a burgeoning artisan food and beverage scene, history and culture and nice hotels. We’ve visited in gorgeous fall, gray February and blooming June and found ways to have fun in all seasons.
Here is what we have seen and done, where we sleep, and most importantly, what we have found to eat and drink, on our Hudson Valley romantic getaway.
