While winding through the mountain on Route 44/55, you’ll come up on Peter’s Kill on your right (a trail here offers moderate to difficult climbing) and Minnewaska State Park Preserve on your left. With $10 or an Empire Pass, you can enjoy an easy-to-moderate, dog-friendly hiking trail. The further you go on the trail, the better the view. The trail is a great spot for bird watching, as well. Once you continue down the mountain, be sure to stop for lunch or apple picking at one of the many farms in the area. Continuing north on 209 and then east on 213 will bring you to the Rosendale Trestle where you can stroll above the changing leaves and rushing waters.

Get your cameras ready—as you ascend, you’re amidst the best photo opportunities. Be sure to keep an eye out for the occasional rock-climbing group along the ridge. Keep your eyes to the horizon and you’ll witness what the hype is really about when you catch a glimpse of the season’s foliage covering the valley. If you’re looking for a more educational journey, stop in at the Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center to learn about what
types of critters and plants inhabit the area. You can also explore on foot by hiking the Preserve—tickets are available for purchase for $12.

Your day begins as soon as you pass the Village of New Paltz (NYS Thruway exit 18). When you continue down Route 299, the Ridge will act as a beacon toward your day’s adventure. Past the sunflower fields and farmers market, make a turn onto Route 44/55 and drive up the mountain. (Be mindful of the terrain and turns!)

The team at Mohonk Preserve aims to protect the Shawangunk region and inspire anyone and everyone to care about their environment.
First founded in 1963, Mohonk Preserve is located in the heart of the scenic Shawangunk Mountains and run by a 22-person board of directors, plus over 60 full-time and seasonal employees. Its core mission is literally in the name: According to Gretchen Reed, the Preserve’s director of marketing and communications, the team at the Preserve aims to protect the Shawangunk region and inspire anyone and everyone to care about environmental issues. 22

Locals and tourists alike adore the small college town of New Paltz for its plentiful shopping options, eclectic eateries, and unique cultural and historic sites. But a short drive past Main Street leads to perhaps the best gem this area has to offer: Mohonk Preserve in nearby Gardiner, a sprawling 8,000 acres of mountains, forests, and other natural wonders suitable for explorers of all walks of life.

“Don’t miss out on one of the rites of autumn: a Preserve hike to take in the peak colors of fall on the Shawangunk Mountains.” –Gretchen Reed
They accomplish this through education, conservation science research, stewardship, and plenty of recreation opportunities. The Preserve’s education team hosts on-site classes for local school children from over 40 schools in the area, while its conservation science team works directly with scientists from
different disciplines to study, document, and protect regional flora, fauna, and land. Of course, that’s not to mention the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come the Preserve each year, drawn in by some of the most beautiful hiking, rock-climbing, trail-running, and cross-country skiing spots in the Hudson Valley. 23
Mohonk Preserve currently has 16,000 annual members, the majority of whom are Hudson Valley-ites or New York State residents. Some of the Preserve’s trailheads are local landmarks in their own right. Coxing Trailhead provides easy access to Split Rock, a small waterfall and wading area loved by anyone who’s spent a summer in New Paltz. The West Trapps Trailhead is famous for its world-renowned climbing routes (and stellar views).

For the first time in 25 years, the Preserve is also constructing a new trailhead: the Testimonial Gateway Trailhead, named for the beautiful arched gateway that leads to the Mohonk Preserve Foothills. The team hopes to complete the new trailhead by the end of the year.
Mohonk Preserve in Gardiner, a sprawling 8,000 acres of mountains, forests, and other natural wonders, is suitable for explorers of all walks of life. The Preserve is open 365 days a year from sunrise until one hour after sunset. There’s truly no bad time of year to visit the Preserve, but autumn— think changing leaves, cooler temperatures, and fewer warm-weather pests to worry about—is an amazing time to swing by for a hike, climb, or picturesque photo-op. “During ‘leaf peeping’ time, the Preserve welcomes visitors from across the country and around the world who come to enjoy nature’s fall splendor,” Gretchen says. “Don’t miss out on one of the rites of autumn: a Preserve hike to take in the peak colors of fall on the Shawangunk Mountains.”

RECIPE spiced and spiked apple cider
This apple cider hot toddy recipe will warm you from head to toe during the brisk autumn months. The quality of ingredients goes a long way here, so be sure to use local, unfiltered apple cider and high-quality whiskey. Hudson Baby Bourbon, produced by Hudson Valley’s Tuthilltown Distillery, is delicious. Ingredients 1 cup water 1 green tea or black tea bag 1 1/2 ounces bourbon (quality matters) 1 ounce real apple cider 1/2 small lemon Garnishes: round slices of lemon, a cinnamon stick, and star anise
Bring the water to a simmer and pour it over the tea bag into a large mug, leaving about one and a half inches of room in your mug for the cider and whiskey. Let the tea steep for 3 to 4 minutes, then discard the bag so the tea doesn’t get unpleasantly bitter. Next, pour in the bourbon and a hefty splash of apple cider. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and garnish with lemon slices, a cinnamon stick, and star anise.

apple butter
Apple butter is a classic autumnal treat with rich apple flavor, spicy undertones, and a smoothe texture. Its uses know no bounds—spread it on bread, muffins, pancakes, with peanut butter on a sandwich, spoon it over vanilla ice cream, or just eat it out of the jar. Ingredients: • • • • • • •
3 pounds Granny Smith apples 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup water 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 tablespoon apple pie spice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Core and peel the apples and then cut them into wedges and place the pieces in a medium/large saucepot. Add apple cider vinegar, salt, and water and set the pot over medium heat. Cover, leaving a little space open on the pot for ventilation, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat when apples are extremely tender 46
and most of the liquid has evaporated. Place apple mash and liquid in your blender until very smooth. Next, place apple sauce back into the original pot. Set back over medium heat and add brown sugar, spices, and vanilla.
Simmer, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until sauce thickens and turns a dark brown, after about 15 minutes. Cool, then store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or can and enjoy this treat yearround. Makes 4 to 5 cups.
baked apple dumplings
Tender cinnamon apples wrapped in a light and fluffy biscuit and smothered in a maple-brown sugar sauce – baked apple dumplings make for a mouthwatering and warming treat during the fall and winter. Jonagold, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp apple varieties work well here. Ingredients: • • • • •
2 apples 3/4 cup brown sugar 8 canned biscuits a pinch of salt 1 1/4 cup water
• 3 tbl maple syrup • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed • 1/4 tsp cinnamon • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel, core, and slice each apple into 8 equal slices. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Next, split each biscuit horizontally into two layers. Flatten out each piece of biscuit until it’s big enough to hold an apple slice (about palm size). Place an apple slice in the middle of the dough and sprinkle with some of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Fold the dough up and over the apple slice and pinch the edges of the dough closed to completely cover
the apple slice. Place the wrapped apples, seam side down, in a 9x13 baking dish and repeat with the remaining apple slices. You should have 16 total. In a medium saucepan, combine water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, and salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 2 minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove from the
heat and gently stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the liquid evenly over the apple dumplings and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling, the apples are very tender, and the dumplings are puffed and perfectly golden brown. Serve warm, spooning extra sauce over the dumplings, and enjoy. 47
apple chips
Apple chips are an easy-to-make, delicious, and healthy snack yearround, and are a wonderful way to use your abundance of apples after a day at the orchards. 48
Ingredients: • 2 Golden Delicious apples, thinly sliced • 1-1/2 teaspoons white sugar
Preheat your oven to 225°F and arrange apple slices on a metal baking sheet. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and sprinkle liberally over apple slices. Bake in the
preheated oven until apples are fully dried and the edges curl up, for 45 minutes to an hour. Transfer apple chips onto a wire rack until fully cooled and crispy.

Saunderskill Farm Market has been a community favorite for generations. From their homegrown produce, seasonal u-pick berries, freshcut flowers, homemade baked goods, freshly made sandwiches, and charming country decor, this farm market is truly a beloved landmark here in the Hudson Valley.
Established in 1680, Saunderskill Farms is the oldest farm in New York, and one of the oldest in the country, having been owned and operated by the Schoonmaker family since it was founded. This family tradition will continue as the husband-and-wife team, Jennifer and Ryan, take over management of the farm market.

From their homegrown produce, seasonal u-pick berries, freshcut flowers, homemade baked goods, freshly made sandwiches, and charming country decor, this farm market is truly a beloved landmark here in the Hudson Valley.
The farm covers 450 acres of fertile land where asparagus, strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, apples, pumpkins, and other seasonal fruits and vegetables are grown. The bounty of this harvest is all available in the market on Route 209, and in the fall you can find hanging baskets, garden flats, over 4,000 mums to choose from, perennials, and decorative gourds and corn stalks throughout the season. Saunderskill Farms is all about keeping it local, and they have recently started stocking even more delectable local goods, such as fresh-made Bella Pasta, seafood from Hudson Valley Seafood, maple syrup from Tree Juice and Sugar Brook Maple Farm, and Damn Good Honey made right down the road in Kerhonkson. Be sure to visit Sauderskill on September 28th for the Hudson Valley Draft Horse Association Fall Harvest Festival, which features corn harvesting with the horses, pumpkin and apple picking, pumpkin 52

On November 9th, all are invited for A Taste of Saunderskill, where they can feast on apple cider donut pudding, homemade granola, apple and pumpkin pies, apple crisp, and so much more. Or stop by any time this fall to choose from 10 varieties of apples to pick, as well as pumpkins. Community gems like Saunderskill Farm are what make the Hudson Valley such a wonderful and abundant place to live and visit, and Jennifer and Ryan are excited to continue a family tradition that their ancestors worked hard to create. They are grateful for the opportunity to provide a supportive community with the best of fresh farm market goods for years to come.

This fall, foodies and lovers of all things natural and organic are rejoicing as the store unveils an expansion that will offer shoppers more varieties of everything they love.
Back in 1977, Bob Whitcomb set himself a challenge: “I was living in town and I wasn’t really satisfied with my job or my living situation, so I decided I’d either get into a better situation or leave town. I gave myself two years. Four months later I had the store open, and six months later I bought a house. I guess I’m staying.” He’d worked in grocery retail, and was drawn to natural and health foods and the people who favored them. It turned out to be the right thing in the right place at the right time, and with “grace, goodwill, and community support,” as Bob puts it, the business grew, doubling in size by 1990. Later in the 90s, the ownership team doubled in size: Roz Balkin, a noted jewelry designer with a staff of 18 and a teenage daughter, joined forces with Bob, bringing her designer’s eye to the store’s aesthetic. 58
“I knew the store, and I’ve always been an environmentalist, so I was on the same page,” she says. “And it’s been more than just a ride, it’s been a trip, full of good food and good people. We’re so lucky in our location; being close to New York City means we get a lot of knowledgeable feedback, and Woodstock has a lot of people who like to cook vegan and vegetarian. The town is so receptive. And now the younger generation has stepped up.”
“With the expansion, our holistic vision for the Woodstock store will come to fruition: engagement with both our local vendors and our customers that produces a shared experience and appreciation for healthy living.” Her daughter and son-in-law, Paku and Melissa Misra, had been working in other fields and had a child of their own, so Bob and Roz weren’t sure if they’d be interested in joining the family business. But when the subject of partnership was raised, “we realized it was probably the best chance we’d ever have to do something big and wonderful for our own daughter,” says Paku. 59
The whole team is excited about welcoming customers to the biggest, best Sunflower yet, with loads more produce, bulk foods, groceries, meat, and seafood—all of it organic or all-natural, and none of it GMO. “I’ve found it a comfortable, satisfying life and we wanted to share that with them,” says Bob. “It’s been

great working alongside them. At this point, they’ve taken over most of the operations, and it’s great to see them enjoying it, working hard, and taking it to the next level.” Paku and Melissa brought skills in marketing, media, and technology to the business. “Bob had the foresight to have point-of-sale technology, and we showed them how to really get their money’s worth from it,” says Paku. They also had the vision to expand in 2014 by opening up a location in Rhinebeck, which has been equally well-received by the Dutchess County community.
door and outdoor seating. “We want to be the place where people can come and pick up a healthy, delicious, prepared plate at a reasonable price,” says Bob. “We’ve had several chefs reach out, but we want to see what we can do ourselves. We have ideas we want to try out.”
store that it deserves. “It just seemed to me way back then that a store like this, where people could find the best organic food, would be a good thing for this community,” says Bob. “Since the beginning, it’s been about getting better and better, every day and every week.”
“With the expansion, our holistic vision for the Woodstock store will come to fruition: engagement with both our local vendors and our customers that produces a shared experience and appreciation for healthy living,” says Melissa, whose special forte is community engagement. “We’re creating a dynamic platform on which to offer more educational programs and hands-on learning experiences that center around good health and wellness habits. Some things will be developing as we go along. Our customers guide us with their feedback, and we’ve been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support.”
Stop by either location any day of the week to pick up some groceries or enjoy something from the cafe & juice bars.
The whole team is excited about welcoming customers to the biggest, best Sunflower yet, with loads more produce, bulk foods, groceries, meat, and seafood—all of it organic or all-natural, and none of it GMO. You’ll also find a comprehensive selection of supplements, homeopathic remedies, and handcrafted gifts. 60

As a historic Hudson River town, Poughkeepsie offers a glimpse into the bustling river industries of the past, while remaining a beacon of culture, arts, and renewal for the future. Poised halfway between the state capital and Manhattan, the Queen City of the Hudson River Val-

Getting here via Metro-North, Amtrak, or car is simplicity itself, and you’ll want to stretch your legs after the ride. Start your tour of Poughkeepsie with an easy 10-minute walk to Upper Landing Park, then board a glass elevator for the 212-foot ascent to the Walkway Over the Hudson, a spectacular linear park built on a former railway trestle. Pick your photo backdrop: the distant Catskills to the west, the patchwork quilt of Poughkeepsie to the east. Take a moment to look down at the Poughkeepsie side. You’ll see progress toward the city’s goal of eventually creating a public riverfront greenway 68
where industry once reigned supreme. Just to the north, you’ll see Waryas Park and the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum, an award-winning center of hands-on fun and education that deserves top ranking on your list of activities if you’re traveling with youngsters. When you tear yourself away from the Walkway and descend, take a minute to look around on the ground level, as well. This spot, where the Fall Kill flows into the Hudson, has seen many uses over that last several hundred years; its fertile land, deep harbor, and ample hydropower are arguably
the reason that Poughkeepsie exists. Yet the waterfront isn’t the only part of town being enthusiastically reinvented; partnerships between local government, educational leaders, and smart nonprofit partners dedicated to the environment, arts, and social justice are all preserving Poughkeepsie’s reputation as a thriving, cutting-edge city. (Marist has just renovated a steel plant into digital labs, media studios, makerspace, and more.) You’ll find adaptive reuse and creative urban planning all around, just as you will lovingly preserved history. But more on all of that later. Let’s grab a bite, shall we?

The hard part is not finding a bite to eat in Poughkeepsie; the hard part is choosing. This city neighbors the Culinary Institute of America in nearby Hyde Park, and the restaurant scene sets the bar high. Farmers and Chefs is exactly what the name suggests: a convergence of two integral trades of the Hudson Valley that offers fine farm-totable fare. An elegant room with gorgeous views makes it a great place to enjoy a meal and a beverage, whether you prefer beef bourguignon with red wine and root vegetables or goat cheese and mushroom ravioli. Hurricane Grill & Wings was founded in Florida and brings a little of that tropical spirit to each of its several outposts, along with 35 signature flavors of fresh, hormone-free wings and local veggies. Hurricane regularly ranks on lists of top sports bars in Poughkeepsie (a town noted for sports bars), but serves up a great family-friendly experience even when there’s no big game on. 69

Nic L Inn Wine Cellar on the Hudson is the ideal place to stop in for a superb cocktail or glass of wine, coupled with an old world meat and cheese board, fresh salad, house-made pasta, or other classic bistro dish with a modern twist. An extensive wine list offers selections sourced from the best of New York, California, and France, and you can sip while enjoying river views from your outdoor table. Crew Restaurant & Bar’s award-winning, CIAtrained chefs work with a number of Hudson Valley farms to deliver fresh, fine dining fare in an elegant and modern setting. If you’re looking for a place where you can truly relax and savor your meal, whether it’s a soup or sandwich for lunch or filet mignon for dinner, then Crew has just what you’re looking for with its exquisitely prepared food and fine cocktails and wines. Tony’s Pizza Pit is a well-loved, decades-old classic pizza spot on Main Street that still gets “Best Of” nominations. Grab a slice to eat in between sightseeing destinations, or sit down and enjoy some Italian fare with a glass of beer or wine. Choices abound, whether you like your pie round, square, classic, whole wheat, meat- or veggie-focused, you can count on fresh, homemade pies and sauce.
Left: The Arlington Bar and Grill Left: Tony’s Pizza Pit
The Arlington Bar and Grill is a classic Poughkeepsie spot. Founded in 1936, this neighborhood pub with a heart of gold will fix you a breakfast sandwich (try the pepper and egg) or a mouthwatering lunch off the grill. Casual and welcoming, this is a great place to chat up some locals and find out what’s really going on. Lola’s Cafe & Gourmet Catering is an excellent choice for a quick but healthy lunch, tucked in at the foot of the Walkway stairs, offering sandwiches, wraps, and paninis in standard and gluten-free varieties. Classic offerings like burgers, chili, and Philly cheesesteak share the stage with delicious bowls and originals like the short rib grilled cheese and buffalo chicken salad. Lolita’s Pizza has taken on a bold challenge: introducing this pizza-loving town to the goodness of Neapolitan style. They’re killing it, with crust made from naturally fermented sourdough serving as a base for delicately crafted sauce, housemade fresh mozzarella, and a mouthwatering selection of creative antipasto selections like wood-roasted olives.

While exploring Poughkeepsie’s charms, you’ll be frequently reminded that this is an arts town through and through, very much including the art of placemaking. Organizations such as the Art Effect and the Fall Kill Creative Works/Mid-Hudson Heritage Center, with its five diverse locations, and are dedicated to bringing out and tuning up the artist in everyone, building on many decades of community tradition. Come visit Poughkeepsie for a snapshot of a proud river city in joyful resurgence. Check the packed cultural calendars of the college campuses and the Bardavon, of arts centers like Cunneen-Hacket and galleries like Barrett. Marvel at the civic and entrepreneurial spirit blooming in repurposed industrial-era gems like the Underwear Factory, the Trolley Barn, and 40 Cannon.

If there’s one pub in the Hudson Valley that needs no introduction, it’s The Tavern at The Beekman Arms. First serving in 1766, it was an addition to the even older Traphagen Tavern, established at the crossroads in 1704, when Rhinebeck was Ryn Beck and the intersection was that of the King’s Highway and the Sebasco Trail.

Army trained on the lawn; Kingstonians took refuge here when their city was set aflame by the British; and George Washington, Philip Schuyler, Benedict Arnold, and Alexander Hamilton were wartime regulars. It’s a safe bet that by the time there was a nation, the Bogardus had a national reputation. Aaron Burr’s famous duel with Alexander Hamilton began with arguments at the Bogardus Tavern, fallout from the
intense 1804 governor’s race. During the century that followed, Rhinebeck was taking its place as the Parlor of Dutchess County thanks to its lovely shaded streets, elegant homes, and welcoming spirit. The Beekman Arms was town hall, post office, theatre, and newspaper headquarters, hosting luminaries William Jennings Bryan and Horace Greeley.
If you’re local, or bunking elsewhere, you can get a heaping dose of this historic authenticity with a lunch, dinner, or Sunday brunch at the Tavern. And so it has gone, through renovations (the ballroom was added in 1918) and generations of boldface names alighting from coaches, then rail carriages, and finally limousines. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a regular. The list of renowned guests from the worlds of politics, entertainment, sports, and media is lengthy, as is the list of kudos from the likes of Harper’s 88

tinuously running hotel in America going strong. (The Delamater Inn, with fifty elegant guest rooms, was added in 1844.) This place has a gift for adopting the best new ideas without abandoning its gracious past. You can book an in-room massage or oxygen infusion facial, hook up to the phone’s data port and sip a glass of wine from your personal decanter beside your in-room stone fireplace. If you’re local, or bunking elsewhere, you can get a heaping dose of this historic authenticity with a lunch, dinner, or Sunday brunch at the Tavern. The Colonial
Tap Room, with its exposed beams and stone fireplace, pours craft beverage and creative cocktails from its antique bar. The kitchen relies heavily on fresh local ingredients from a list of nine local farms and the Bread Alone Bakery. Come to think of it, Washington, Hamilton, and Burr were undoubtedly served local ingredients as well. Menu items like escargot, prime rib, and Dutch pot pie made with farm-fresh turkey and root veggies were probably sighed over

by happy diners in 1826, although there may have been less baby arugula readily available. Heirloom dishes, polished through generations of culinary refinement, add to the subtle yet pervasive aura of history you’ll feel. This fall, you’re invited to come for an enthralling experience on Friday nights: Ghost Stories In The Basement. Your tour will lead down into the oldest heart of the ancient Inn, where you’ll sit beside a roaring fire hearing the lore of this magical place, of countless lives and the restless spirits. (No place could last this long without acquiring a few ghosts in the process.) Come join in the genteel, high-spirited life at the very heart of the Hudson Valley, the parlor’s living room, capable of welcoming the likes of Gore Vidal, Lauren Bacall, Frank Sinatra, Yoko Ono, and you. It’s the perfect culinary compliment to a day of exploring the beauty of Rhinebeck and Dutchess County, and, like the early democracy hammered out in the Bogardus over roast and ale, it’s there for all of us, part of the glorious heritage of the Hudson Valley.

Page and Shala Moll found their working relationship to be a natural progression from their personal relationship. As owners of Hash, a modern cafĂŠ on Main Street in Stone Ridge, they are masterfully pouring their years of restaurant business experience into this quaint local favorite.
95 95
Offering a new twist on farm-to-table dining, Page integrates fresh, local ingredients into familiar yet unique breakfast and lunch dishes.
Having met in 1999 in Venice Beach, California, the duo started out as coworkers and friends, which, Shala explains, is why their operation works so well. “We’ve always worked together,” she says. Spending their formative years in hard-working environments, says Page, created work ethics that they are both proud of today. From the integrity of the food they serve, to the friendly, efficient service they provide, it is clear that these two find meaning and value in every aspect of their work. Page, who hails from a small town in Minnesota, has over 25 years of culinary experience. “Our parents stressed personal independence in pursuit of a positive lifestyle, both personally and professionally,” he says. It was after the two married and had their son that they ventured back to where Shala was from in Woodstock. Shala wanted to be “home.” Hash opened in April 2017 and serves primarily breakfast and lunch, along with an assortment of homemade pastries and pies. Named after a dish that has both German and French origins— 96
just like its owners—the spot is a daily staple for many locals, says Shala. “Our restaurant creates a different atmosphere from a lot of other places. The vibe reflects the comfort of your own home.” Stressing the importance of home is why the restaurant serves breakfast and lunch. Shala explains that the hours reflect
Page’s dedication to being home with their family. “We’re a small staff of about six people and a few of us are family, so we’ve created a flexible work schedule,” she says. During the winter, the restaurant hosts family-style dinners once a month, but the duo takes their staff into consideration when scheduling.
“Our restaurant creates a different atmosphere from a lot of other places. The vibe reflects the comfort of your own home.” –Shala Moll, co-owner 97
Offering a new twist on farm-to-table dining, Page integrates fresh, local produce into familiar yet unique breakfast and lunch dishes. The restaurant works directly with two local farmers to utilize sustainable and organic ingredients. Favorites on the menu include the Italian breakfast—two eggs in a sofrito sauce with garlic toast—and the indulgent bread pudding French toast. Hearty lunch options abound, too, such as the mouthwatering house-smoked brisket sandwich and the Moroccan lamb burger, while lighter fare includes medicinal broths, soups and stews of the day, and a red quinoa salad. Never wanting anybody to leave hungry, Page pursues a theme of consistency. “People are always impressed with how fast and fresh Page’s work
comes out,” Shala says. Serving generous portions of food, Hash ensures no empty stomachs. As for location, Shala acknowledges that people might think a small-town restaurant business would struggle, but for Hash, that’s not the case. “We welcome such a large variety of visitors due to our beautiful location,” she says. Hash also has the advantage of being conveniently located on the way to several of the Hudson Valleys’s most popular sightseeing towns, including Rosendale, High Falls, Kingston, and New Paltz. Stop in for some of the best coffee and pastries around on your way to the trails, or reward yourself afterward with a slice of one of their fresh berry pies. You’ll be planning to come back again before you even leave.

For over four decades, visitors to the enchanting hamlet of High Falls have been drawn in by the delicious food and creative ambiance of The Egg’s Nest. Three years ago, the iconic spot came under new ownership, and the magic still happens—even locals who were diehard fans of the restaurant’s earlier incarnation have come to love the way there’s always something new hatching at the Nest.

We do our own take on Ecuadorian empanadas using grass-fed beef from Kinderhook Farm and we also make a vegan option.
“Early on, people did try to make comparisons,” says Eric Silver, who, with his wife Cristina, took over the reins of the popular hangout, handpicked by longtime owner Richard Murphy as successors. “I reminded them that Richard’s Egg’s Nest was a 43-year progression, not a static object. We’ve uncovered panels of artwork that were from different phases. It’s been a great ride so far; a lot of people have come along and we’ve found a whole new audience as well.” “One of the wonderful parts of the legacy,” says Cristina, “is how many people come here for special moments and milestones. We had a couple come in to celebrate the 30th anniversary of getting engaged here. Our hope is that people will keep making new memories like that—birthdays, anniversaries, graduations.” 104
The Silvers agree that High Falls continues to grow and develop as an eclectic town. “Just in the past two years, we talk to more and more people who are telecommuters, and watch weekenders as they stretch their upstate

have added favorites of their own. “Our travels to Italy and love for classic Italian cuisine inspired us to start making housemade pasta,” says Cristina. “After
“We have a wonderful relationship with our farmers.... It’s a network of people all trying to find ways of living here that are viable for families and make the community a better place.” 105
As High Fallonians ourselves, it matters a lot to continue to make a community place where people from all walks of life feel welcome and comfortable. we spent time in Jamaica, we added Jamaican beef patties and jerk chicken to the menu. We do our own take on Ecuadorian empanadas using grass-fed beef from Kinderhook Farm and we also make a vegan option. And we’ve transformed basic nachos into psychedelic nachos with house-made guacamole and beet sour cream.” You can still get a classic Egg’s Nest cheeseburger, but you can also get a Green Palate handcrafted vegan burger with oats, walnuts, sunflower seeds, celery, onions, and roasted chipotle aioli. And serving a wide-ranging breakfast menu till 3pm adds yet 106
another dimension, as does the outdoor seating. “One guy spent five days in town and ate every meal here,” Cristina says. “People still come in and feel like they’re stumbling over a local secret, and I love that. It’s great when we hear, ‘What is this place and how did I not know about it?’” There’s a genuine sense of destiny to this new era in the Center of the Universe, as neighbors and renowned restaurateurs Richard Murphy and John Novi christened the hamlet of High Falls when its star first rose in the firmament of culinary destinations. Eric is a Woodstock native and an actor. Cristina
(whose roots reach to Ecuador by way of New Jersey) is a visual artist, and the two are extremely comfortable whipping up Frida Bowls, an Egg’s Nest standby that Richard had called the Frida Kahlo Bowl and now carries a second meaning, since the couple’s poodle mix is named Frida, also after Kahlo. And while growing the menu, they’re growing a family. Daughter Ruthie, not yet two, “loves to greet people,” say her parents, in what is clearly a case of the apple not falling far from the tree. “As High Fallonians ourselves, it matters a lot to continue to make a community place where people from all walks of life feel welcome and comfortable,” says Eric. “We have a wonderful relationship with our farmers and vendors, most of them in Ulster, Dutchess, and Columbia Counties. It’s a network of people all trying to find ways of living here that are viable for families and make the community a better place. “We have ideas about expanding our connection to the arts. Collaborations are in the development stages—small things, for now, with artists and musicians and filmmakers,” says 107
Cristina. “And I keep getting approached by people who would love to get married here or host larger gatherings, so we’re thinking about that some.” A few guests, the couple says, have remarked that the famously quirky restaurant feels a little “toned down,” which may ironically be the result of its being opened up, with more window space, old carpet replaced by wood floors, and refreshed lighting. Just as Richard Murphy loved nothing more than selfexpression through hospitality, so, too, do the Silvers.
“It’s a community hub,” says Eric. “We always want to be the place where people can get the travel suggestions and the insider local knowledge. And we will always be doing something new; it can be tough to have room on the menu, because people do fall desperately in love with the old favorites, but there is so much to discover. And that’s just organic, that’s just who we are.” The Egg’s Nest is in the process of expanding its hours and days of operation—be sure to check out their website for the most up-to-date information.

he right jewelry has a resonance. A fine pendant or ring that fits well with who you are and brings you joy each time you touch it or look at it is one of life’s delights. Whether a custom piece, a reworked heirloom, or the jeweler’s vision, handcrafted jewelry is a little chunk of personal magic.
to decide what sets the bar,” says owner Morgan Mikula. “It carries through with the designers in our cases, the level of work we put out, and the people that we work with on the back end. There’s a sense of creative freedom at this level, and with the information and technology available to the independent jeweler, the world is my oyster.”
You’ll find a treasure trove of such pieces at Facets of Earth in Kingston, where the specialty is fine custom work and handcrafted jewelry from around the world. “I have very high standards and I get
Morgan grew up in York, Pennsylvania and studied jewelry and metalsmithing at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, going on to study design and fabrication. “I went to school to be a secondary art
teacher. I spent one summer studying jewelry design and fabrication in Florence, Italy and knew it was the right path for me,” she says. “I was hungry to know and learn techniques. I’ve always admired jewelry and the significance behind each crafted piece. It sparked my passion and I changed my major to receive a BFA in Jewelry and Metals and also Painting. After graduating, I worked my way through the fine jewelry industry while teaching classes at Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.” We can thank her husband Brian for her discov-
ery of the Hudson Valley. The couple met in Pittsburgh, but Brian had lived in New York and supported a move back. “He always told me, ‘You’ll love the Hudson Valley,’” she says. “We came to visit and I instantly fell in love. It finally felt like I was home.” The couple moved in 2015, and Morgan started working from home, designing and marketing her own work online under the Facets of Earth brand. “I eventually got to the point that I couldn’t work at my day job for another jeweler and decided to focus on my designs and direction,” she recalls. “After being regularly asked where my store was located and bringing custom consultations into my home studio, I realized it was time to move into a retail space. I’ve admired jewelry designers from around the globe, and knew that I also wanted to include them in my collection of designers.” The Kingston waterfront is ideally suited to an enterprise that’s inher-
ently a little bit enchanted. “The waterfront has a special and quaint energy,” Morgan says. “It’s a hidden gem with so much history. My husband and I feel deeply connected to the water, and we knew that when it was time to open a retail store the waterfront was the right place. After nearly a year of searching, we found the perfect place. It’s on the opposite side of the street from where all the shops are, so it took us by surprise. When we walked in to view the space, it took our breath away. There was so much potential: 25-foot ceilings, and a spiral staircase to a lofted office! It needed a lot of cosmetic work, but it took my dream of Facets of Earth to the next level. It came to be something better than we even imagined. “ The shop opened its doors on the Fourth of July in 2018, after the renovation and a lot of conscious forethought. Morgan had some definite ideas about how the store should look, feel, and operate, starting with building trust. “Since I had experience working for other jew113
elers before launching, I had a lot to think about,” she says. “I really focused on the mission of our alternative and modern jewelry store. I focused on what sets us apart—our ethics—while offering all of the same qualities as a full-service jewelry store. “We’re a low-pressure sales environment. Who wants to walk into a jewelry store and feel pressured or like they couldn’t afford anything? We want everyone to come back and just check out our new work often. We don’t want them to feel buyer’s remorse or pressured. It’s genuine conversation, while hopefully educating about all that goes into the jewelry art form. The space is truly uplifting, so we just want people to come in and enjoy watching us work on jewelry in our open studio!” The work you will find here is created using consciously selected diamonds and gemstones and recycled precious metals. “In our design, we use colored gemstones as opposed to diamonds,” Morgan says. “We’re happy to source any kind of diamond, and we do have a decent amount available. But there’s a world of beautiful gemstones out there that don’t get the same attention in the traditional jewelry industry. Using gemstones also makes the design work more accessible, whether it’s an engagement ring or just an everyday favorite.” Facets of Earth offers a warm welcome to jewelry lovers, window shoppers, art lovers, and rock-hounds alike. “Our goal was to rethink the approach to a jewelry store,” Morgan says. “It’s open and airy, with lots of light and lighter colors. Our display cases 114
are designed to give you an experience closer to visiting a museum. It’s a very comfortable environment, and the jeweler is the one selling the jewelry in our cases. Myself, Brian, or our other bench jeweler can explain in detail any information about custom work or answer questions about the designs in our cases. Our walls feature paintings and wall sculptures
from artists; we have art openings in our space every two or three months. There’s a gift section where we carry ceramics, jewelry boxes, fragrances, and more from local makers.” To Morgan, making a piece of jewelry for your wedding is a sacrament. “I love working on custom designs with clients for engagement or wedding
The work you will find here is created using consciously selected diamonds and gemstones and recycled precious metals. bands,” she says. “I have so many great memories of being a part of people’s big life moments. It’s heartwarming to hear amazing, creative ways that people propose! But I really enjoy doing jewelry repair, also; I have a strong foundation in jewelry repair and restoration, and I love to bring life back to broken jewelry and family heirlooms.”
Facets of Earth stays on the cutting edge in more ways than one. “We don’t like to say ‘no’ to people,” says Morgan, “so it’s led to expanding our horizons. We recently expanded our services with a laser welder, where we can go in and build or fix pretty much anything with a beam of light. I’ve studied and worked at so many levels, from large corporate jewelers 115
to small independent shops. And now, because of technology, my competitors are also my colleagues. I cheer this next generation of independent, free-thinking designers and all of their endeavors.” All of the study and tech and collaboration is in the service of the overarching goal: delighting you with something that will last a lifetime and beyond. “Our mission is to create beautiful, elegant jewelry that will bring joy for generations to come,” Morgan says. “The feeling of empowerment and loving the skin you're in is crucial to positive change and positive effect. We strive to capture
that essence in each handcrafted piece of jewelry.” Going forward, you can expect to find more varied and sparkling pieces on display (Morgan constantly studies the latest techniques, as well as the work of masters old and new), new designers as they are magnetized into the circle, and more art openings. And anytime you visit, you can count on enjoying the space and the staff. “We play good music and we make sure to truly have fun,” Morgan says. “When we have fun, our customers have fun! Nobody wants a grump working on their jewelry.”

In Liège, Belgium, Paul de Marchin’s family has been associated with fine clothing since long before living memory. “It goes back at least four or five generations,” says Paul. “My grandmother worked in lingerie, my mother had a lingerie business for a long time, and I know it goes back farther than that. My parents had a clothing store, my brother still has one there. I guess it’s in my blood.”
121 121
I love discovering new, small brands you can’t find at the mall. –Paul de Marchin, owner In 1981, at Université de Liège, Paul met his future husband John Mathews, a medical student from Tucson, Arizona. After graduating, the couple moved first to Phoenix and then to Seattle, where John established himself as a physician while Paul worked as a buyer for Duck, the fashion loft brother Georges was establishing back home in Begium. The couple both love to travel, and Paul seeks the finest clothing wherever he goes. “I love discovering new, small brands you can’t find at the mall,” he says. “What draws me to fashion has always been the creativity, the process. I love visiting ateliers, checking out how people design. Why this color or that one? How do you choose the fabric? What are the fine details that matter in how the garment’s made? It fascinates me, and it can be exciting to be able to explain these choices to the customer.” In the mid-90s, John accepted a position in the anaesthesiology department at Columbia Memorial in Hudson, where he’d soon be leading the de122
partment. Soon afterward, in 1996, Paul opened de Marchin on Warren Street, bringing to Hudson a whole new world of sartorial possibilities. “It’s a funny thing the way Europeans love American fashion and Americans love European fashion,” says Paul. “You want what you don’t have, what’s hard to find.”
During those first years, Paul reflects, “Hudson was a much quieter town than it is now, but we had 70 antique shops already. Back then, people would drive up and shop for a couple of hours and leave; now, they come and spend a weekend at a B&B, go to Olana, dine out. It’s a destination now.”
You’ll find a veritable United Nations of designers who are taking classic styles to the cutting edge, clothing from all corners of Europe, from Asia and New Zealand.

For lovers of finer fashions, de Marchin has been a destination from the beginning. You’ll find a veritable United Nations of designers who are taking classic styles to the cutting edge, clothing from all corners of Europe, from Asia and New Zealand. The common thread is originality and quality; Paul likes clothing that will hold up in 20 years.
Some of the brands that have gotten the nod include women’s styles from Hartford, Cotelac, Pas de Calais, Scotch & Soda, Elemente Clemente, J. Brand, Barbour, CYDWOQ, Campomaggi, Eugenia Kim, and CLOSED, and menswear by Rodd & Gunn, Naked & Famous, Phil Petter, Golden Bear, Scotch & Soda, Barbour, WRK, Oxford Lads, Gilded
“There is added value in a customer being able to come in and touch a garment, make a connection.” –Paul de Marchin, owner
Age, Stetson, Gimo’s, Armor-Lux, and Goorin Bros. But no list could possibly be complete, because by the time this story is in print, Paul will have found something new and wonderful to share. “We go to Paris and New York and Vegas for the shows, besides just generally loving to travel,” he says, 124
“and I find different brands and ideas to bring back—not just clothing, but some gadgets and home décor items. I’ll find something nice or interesting and bring some home; if people love it, great; if it doesn’t move, we put it on sale and move on to the next thing.” On de Marchin’s Instagram feed, you can get a feel for Paul’s taste; fans of
“What draws me to fashion has always been the creativity, the process. I love visiting ateliers, checking out how people design.... It fascinates me, and it can be exciting to be able to explain these choices to the customer.”
all that is chic may find themselves drooling over the colors and shapes that range from unabashedly classic to wildly abstract. “I love the flow of fashion,” he says. “On the one hand, you want a fresh look each season; on the other hand, wonderful styles from decades ago are coming back in new forms.” Assistants Leslie Tapsak, who runs the women’s department, and Zachary Sbrocco, menswear, are the lucky recipients of Paul’s inherited and finely honed sensibilities. “I bring them with me on the buying trips and it’s a very open conversation, what’s for us and what isn’t and why,” Paul says. “We try to act together, and when we’re here we meet every month. It’s a team effort, not just me. I like to share knowledge; it’s not something to keep.” John has recently retired (besides being loved at Columbia Memorial, tributes mention a lot of work for Doctors Without Borders) and the couple can often be found enjoying life at their 1784 Dutch colonial, five 125
minutes outside of Athens. “When we have time, we like to get back to Europe,” Paul says, “but when we’re here, there’s always something going on in and around Hudson. John loves music and I love art—I collect drawings and paintings—and we love Basilica Hudson. Then, too, we love being home— the quiet and the view, the wildlife are magnificent. We both like to garden and play with Kai, our English Setter.” He’s delighted with Hudson’s destination status—a status that unique shops like de Marchin have arguably helped to create—and with its cultural ferment and diversity. “People have asked me why I don’t do this in New York or Boston,” he says. “Because I’m happy here! I have no
need to grow larger. We have a nice, unique niche, and as Hudson has grown up, I’ve found we get more sophisticated customers, so we can offer more variety.” The internet, he says, is a doubleedged sword in a business like his. “It’s good to be able to reach out on Instagram and Facebook and draw people in; on the other hand, it can be hard to compete with online sales. Just like with the mall, you need to have things that people can’t find just anywhere, even online. But there is added value in a customer being able to come in and touch a garment, make a connection. And it’s a good challenge: to research, to find things that are different.”

Of course, starting a new business while pregnant was no easy feat. Pre-entrepreneurship, Olga had spent more than 12 years working at General Electric as a project manager in different modalities. When she married Ryan, an Ulster County native, the pair relocated to the Hudson Valley. One of their many reasons for opening Zephyr Float in 2016 was to give back to the community they had grown to love.
visitvortex.com
In the span of just a few short months, Olga Schoonmaker and her husband Ryan welcomed two “babies� into the world: their beautiful daughter and their co-owned wellness center, Zephyr Float, located in Midtown Kingston.
131 131
Kingston has changed in some amazing ways over the past years. It’s a place where anything is possible right now. We knew that this community needed support in order to continue thriving. The main offering at Zephyr Float is sensory minimization, also known as floatation therapy. A room is filled with 1,000 pounds of epsom salt dissolved into 10 inches of water, creating an extremely buoyant environment that allows your body to float on the surface without any effort. The water is heated to average body temperature, seeming neither hot nor cold, and you have the option to turn off the light and shut the door to the room. All of these factors add up to an experience that is as free from unnecessary sensory input as possible, allowing you to completely relax in a way that you may never have thought possible. “Floating,” as Olga and fellow floatation therapy buffs call it, offers a litany of health benefits, including relief from chronic pain, anxiety, and even creative mental blocks for writers and artists. When paired with classic therapeutic massage techniques, clients can truly experience the mind-body benefits of floatation therapy. 132
“Many times, clients have come out of the float tank with joyful tears in their eyes, saying this is the first time in years they are pain-free,” says Olga. “For many, prescription painkillers don’t work, and they have to find other means to deal with the effects of their illness.”
For first-time floaters, Olga recommends the “New In Town” package, which includes three 60-minute float sessions for just $130. Three is the magic number, Olga explains, because it allows new customers to adjust to and fully embrace the unique sensation of floating in a body of water. Each time you

“Floating” offers a litany of health benefits, including relief from chronic pain, anxiety, and even creative mental blocks for writers and artists. float, your body relaxes more and your mind goes “deeper.” She also sings the praises of Zephyr Float’s 60-minute massage and 60-minute float package, which combines a standard float session with a blissful massage, starting at $135. As first-time business owners, Olga and Ryan love meeting the diverse range of clients who come through Zephyr’s
doors. Their regulars run the gamut, pursuing floatation therapy for physical, mental, and sometimes even emotional needs. One thing’s for certain, though: In Olga’s words, “No matter what your walk of life is or why you find yourself in a float center, it’s almost guaranteed that you’re a really interesting person. I don’t know what it is about our clients, but I love it.”

ly to be spending a good bit of time indoors, if not quite hibernating. Planning ahead for a change or two that will help you fall in love with your dwelling all over again will go a long way to keep that nasty old cabin fever from setting in during the chilly months. Here are some ideas we love.
visitvortex.com
With days growing shorter and breezes cooler, it’s time to think about the comforts of home. Even if you’re a winter sports fan with plans to spend most of your free time on the slopes, there’s still a lot to be said for a warm and welcoming nest at day’s end; those of us who aren’t all that intrepid are like-

Is a home without a special favorite corner really a home at all? You probably find yourself drawn to a specific spot when you want to relax, maybe because there’s a window with a view or it’s out of the way of traffic. Consider perfecting that spot before winter sets in. A comfy chair that you can sink into, shelf space nearby for books or maker-supplies, a table to hold your beverage, and a decent lap desk are all wonderful components, and available in so many styles and types that it’s easy to mix, match, and create something that feels right for you. Consider the options at Bare Furniture in Accord, where you can pick your own finish on solid wood shelves and occasional tables. Don’t see exactly what you want? Bring your dream idea to affiliated company A&G Custom Furniture.

It’s been said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and long winter afternoons are ideal for simmering a soup. And with the holidays coming, if your plans include entertaining, your kitchen will likely play a prominent role. Like windows and doors, appliances have come a long way in energy-efficiency and user-friendliness. If you’re ready for an upgrade, it’s a great time to shop around. And if you’re tired of your kitchen’s overall look, think about fresh new cabinetry (here again, there are some cool new innovations out there to make storing food and utensils easier than ever) or a fresh countertop and backsplash. Creative professionals like the design team at Cabinet Designers in Kingston or H. Jarvis in Accord will help you assess what you’ve got, what you want, and the best way to get there, whether you’re looking for specific targeted updates or a complete kitchen redesign.

If you’re dealing with windows and doors that are a couple of decades old, there’s a whole new world of innovation out there that can help you keep your beloved views and natural light while losing those annoying drafts and saving on your energy bills. Replacing windows and doors is that rare renovation that actually adds serious value to your 144
home; nobody likes high energy bills, after all. Our local family-owned home centers such as Williams Lumber and Home and Herzog’s Home and Paint Centers have great selections of the latest state-of-the-art choices and expert designers who can help you choose the products that will serve you well all year round. If a complete replacement isn’t in the cards this year, there are
less drastic measures that can make a big difference. Look into caulking or weather stripping around windows and doors to stop those chilly breezes. You can also add a double-glazing system made of optical grade acrylic to your existing windows, or replace window treatments with your choice of drapes, blinds, shades, or shutters designed to improve energy efficiency.
4 . r e - c r e at i n g r e c r e at i o n
If you have a spare room or basement space that’s basically just collecting clutter, think about making it into a game room or media room that will make all that indoor time more enjoyable. Here again, the only limit is your space and your imagination. A Hudson Valley design professional like Jason Jones of Ingrained Building Concepts in Rhinebeck can help you put those two elements (and your budget) together in ways that will enhance your home, not only for this winter, but for all seasons. 145
