The Catskills region is home to charming towns filled with incredible adventures. Making Emerson Resort & Spa your upstate home base means several of these spots are within perfect day-trip driving distance. See where Woodstock 1969 took place by visiting the town of Bethel, or wander historical sites in historic Kingston. Another great option is to explore all the fun things to do in nearby Hudson, NY.
A Checklist of Hudson Attractions & Activities
Our Catskills resort is less than an hour away from the popular upstate town of Hudson. Fun fact: this small city was the first to be incorporated after the original 13 colonies became the U.S. Today, the streets are lined with all sorts of businesses for you to explore.
Shops
One of the best ways to explore Hudson is by foot. This gives you ample opportunity to wander in and out of the boutiques and shops found here. There is a little bit of everything, including antique stores, art galleries, and gift stores. There are also several bookstores, like The Spotty Dog Books & Ale, which might have your next vacation read.
Attractions
In addition to shops, there is a wide variety of attractions to check out. See what performances are taking place at Basilica Hudson or Hudson Hall. Tour exhibits at the FASNY Museum of Firefighting or visit the museum found inside the Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Restaurants
No matter what adventures fill your visit, you’re sure to work up an appetite. Luckily, there are countless restaurants here, perfect for a bite to eat before heading back to the Emerson. Dig into a sourdough pizza at Baba Louie’s Sourdough Pizza, or try New American Cuisine at Swoon Kitchenbar. For a sweet treat, pop into Nine Cakes or Vasilow’s Confectionery.
