A Taste of What’s Inside
Eat at The Aviary
This is one of those places that makes a small-town night out feel extra special. With its inviting atmosphere and creative cocktails, it’s a spot I love recommending when you’re looking to sip, unwind, and enjoy a little time out on the town.
Explore + shop at Kinderhook Farm
Kinderhook Farm is the perfect local spot to visit one afternoon. Take a stroll down the farm lane, say hello to the chickens, sheep, cows, geese, and farm dogs, and enjoy a farmscape that’s always changing with the seasons. It was the perfect adventure for my little guy and such a great way to get out of the house.
Enjoy at Broad Street Bagel Co.
If you haven’t been to Broad Street Bagel’s flagship location yet, consider this your sign! This family-owned favorite is serving up kettle-boiled, hand-rolled bagels made with a 150-year-old Brooklyn recipe—and trust me, you can taste the difference.
