This is one of the most beautiful areas in all of NY state. It's got villages, small towns, culture galore!!! Great people, nature, hiking, and great restaurants. The MacHaydn Theater, Tanglewood, Time & Space Limited in Hudson, 10 minutes to Chatham with the People's Pub, PS 21 , The Brewery, Fiesta Cafe, Bimi's, 40 minutes to Great Barrington.
So much more.
I love to travel, but when I come back, I always wonder why I left.
