I have wanted to take a drive up the Hudson River for a while now and asked a good friend if she’d be up for a mid week drive. We had all kinds of grand plans to visit Olana, take a hike along the Gunks, and do a little antique shopping on the way back. Instead, we ended up doing a tour of the southernmost part of the Hudson: Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Pocantico Hills, and Ossining- about forty five minutes north of the city. While it wasn’t quite the day we expected, it turned out to be a lot of fun. It is really amazing how quickly the scenery changes once you get out of the city.

We had lunch at the lovely Blue Hill Cafe at Stone Barns- highly recommended! docks at Ossining

Next time, the Gunks are a priority.
