By Train: Beacon City Day Trip

(1h 40m from NYC via Metro-North Hudson Line) New York's Hudson Valley is dotted with historic, riverfront towns that have held important roles in New York's history. Rooted in an industrial past, Beacon was long overlooked as a noteworthy destination outside of NYC. Though these days, it is regarded as a haven for artists, artisans and culinary enthusiasts looking to escape the frantic pace of the city. Join them in their pursuit of peace with a breakfast of fresh-baked pastries and artisanal coffee along Beacon's historic Main Street, vintage shopping, homestyle lunch, local wine tastings and locally sourced late night dinner.
