Your complete guide to a perfect upstate weekend: never-ending beer, charming towns, beautiful hikes, and food galore. The Hudson Valley is home to some of the most fertile soil in the world — the Black Dirt Region. The mineral-rich soil left behind by an ancient glacial lake makes for high-quality crops and clean water. People have been taking advantage of such resources for years. Enter: beer, and an abundance of top-notch breweries. This is a local’s look (me!) at not only where to drink — but where to eat, sleep, shop, and breathe in the Hudson Valley. Consider this your personal access to my Google Maps.

Head to Greenpoint and soak in this quaint neighborhood filled with cafes, boutiques, and plenty of green space.

I moved to NYC in 2006 and called it home until space got tight with a newborn, and the suburbs were calling louder and louder. New York City is a fantastic place to visit as a family during every season. Unlimited restaurants and activities for your family are a huge draw, but one of the top things that hold families back from visiting NYC are accommodations to fit the whole family. With the restriction of short-term rentals, this is an amazing list of larger places for the whole family. New York City has notoriously tiny hotel rooms, I have not only compiled a list of larger-than-average NYC places to stay but ones that fit a family of up to 6!!! Some of them even include a free breakfast which is always a huge benefit to a larger family.
