My favorite place for dinner in Cold Spring. Wednesday nights are “pizza nights” with a discounted menu. Pizza is gourmet brick oven. The food is always good and service is the best in the area. They do not accept credit cards so be sure to bring cash or check or use your bank card at their in house ATM. They have gluten free options for their pasta dishes and a great wine selection, which makes it a total win for me 🥰

Best Coffee in town inside the beautiful Ascend Collective. The salads are also healthy and delicious. Gluten Free baked goods are top-notch. My favorite thing to do is put my order in before Yoga Class on the third floor so i can have it waiting when class is done! All in the same beautiful building right on Main Street. Ascend Collective + Citrine Cafe, 75 Main Street, Cold Spring, New York 10516

One of the most famous and challenging hikes in The Hudson Highlands. Avoid weekends if possible, if not, I strongly advise going very early. This is a challenging, steep hike not appropriate for kids or animals- you need your hands free for climbing and scrambling. Water, sunscreen and appropriate shoes are necessities. I highly recommend downloading the Avenza Maps App- they are wonderful resources!
