READ: This week’s edition of Westchester Weekly! READ: This week’s edition of Westchester Weekly! Check out the recently opened @captlawrence_mtkisco Barrel House, preorder vintage Christmas trees and trucks from @amazeinpottery to paint, attend the Halloween Party at @goosefeatherny in Tarrytown and more this week! A link to the full post is in the bio.
TO DO: {Saugerties} I have been all about the out TO DO: {Saugerties} I have been all about the outdoors this fall. Besides hiking, our family was recently able to get out on the water to do some kayaking. We kayaked with @ipaddlenewyork up in Saugerties. Unfortunately, they are closed now until the spring. However, I highly recommend using them for your kayaking adventures! Gail was super accommodating and helpful when I booked our very last minute rental and she made the process so easy! We rented two tandem kayaks and spent an hour paddling on the Esopus Creek. It was such a beautiful time out on the water taking in the scenic views. Gail offers guided tours as well as stand up paddle board (SUP) rentals. If you are up in Saugerties, I recommend making time to enjoy a kayak ride with @ipaddlenewyork! 📍I Paddle New York 61 South Partition Street Saugerties, NY 12477
TO EAT: {Beacon} We have visited the @hvfoodhall i TO EAT: {Beacon} We have visited the @hvfoodhall in Beacon on other occasions, but with a variety of vendors, there’s always something new to try! @wrapsbombay has been a family favorite and they have a couple of vegan options to choose from. My husband and I shared this potato cauliflower wrap and some samosas (you can never have too many potatoes!). It was a nice day out and we enjoyed eating in the outside dining area. Hudson Valley Food Hall has several different vendors so everyone in the family can order what they want from different places, but you can all eat together! 📍Bombay Wraps at the Hudson Valley Food Hall 288 Main Street Beacon, NY 12508
TO DO: {Ossining} We have been trying to get in al TO DO: {Ossining} We have been trying to get in all of the fall hikes before the weather gets too cold. While most of the fall foliage is past its peak, there are still some pretty spectacular views of autumn in New York! Today we visited @teatown_lake_reservation in Ossining. We walked the 1.5 mile Lakeside Trail Loop. This is a very easy, family-friendly hike with beautiful views of Teatown Lake. Parking: $5 📍Teatown Lake Reservation 1600 Spring Valley Road Ossining, NY 10562
BAKE: These Appledoodle Cookies from @thegirlwho8e BAKE: These Appledoodle Cookies from @thegirlwho8everything! I’m usually not a fan of white chocolate chips, but they go really well with the apple and cinnamon! These cookies are on the sweeter side but are very addicting! Note: I did not chill my dough for an hour and these came out fine! What is your favorite fall cookie?

EAT: {Saugerties} I don’t think I can visit anyw EAT: {Saugerties} I don’t think I can visit anywhere without getting some ice cream! I have been following @alleywayicecream for a long time and was so happy to finally get a chance to try their ice cream. The ice cream shop is literally located down an alley (thus the name?!). I’ve always been impressed with their interesting selection of ice cream flavors like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Blueberry Cornbread and Matcha Sesame. On the day of our visit, the selection was limited and I was soooo disappointed that they didn’t have any Thai Tea Cookies & Cream. However, I did try the Honeycomb Chocolate Swirl and Ube Heath Bar Crunch and they were both delicious! Plus, this gives me a reason to go back! 🍦Alleway Ice Cream is open Wednesday - Sunday 📍Alleyway Ice Cream 135 Partition Street Saugerties, NY 12477
EAT: {Saugerties} This Grandma-style Tomato, Basil EAT: {Saugerties} This Grandma-style Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella slice from @slices_of_saugerties was so good, that I had it on both days of our visit! I can understand why this pizza shop has been voted a @hudsonvalleymag “Best of Hudson Valley” winner! Slices of Saugerties is located on Partition Street, right in the heart of town. They have many other tasty looking slices, but I highly recommend this one! 📍Slices of Saugerties 71 Partition Street Saugerties, NY 12477
TO DO: {Beacon} Mount Beacon is another Scenic Hu TO DO: {Beacon} Mount Beacon is another Scenic Hudson Park and is one of, if not, the most popular hike spot in Beacon. This used to be home to the Beacon Incline Railway, which stopped running in 1978. However, you can see remnants at the overlook. The Casino Trail to the overlook is a little over 2 miles up and back. The trail has a staircase and some rocks and is all uphill. But the hike is worth this amazing view! If you want to challenge yourself even more, you can continue to hike to the Mr. Beacon Fire Tower (over 4 miles up and back). 📍Mt. Beacon 788 Walcott Avenue Beacon, NY 12508 . . . . . . . . #mountbeacon #mtbeacon #scenichudson #hudsonriver #hudsonvalley #hudsonvalleyhike #hikethehudsonvalley #scenicviews #riverviews #fallhike #seekadventure #getoutdoors #beacon #dutchesscounty #nystate #autumnhike #distinctlydutchess #hudsonhighlands #weekendadventures #ladiesgetoutside #scenicnewyork #greatoutdoors #iloveny
EAT: {Saugerties} Saugerties has so many delicious EAT: {Saugerties} Saugerties has so many delicious places to eat, including the @love_bites_cafe. This restaurant has vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. These sweet chili cauliflower wings were so good! The Bohemian Club (marinated tofu, sesame asian slaw, grilled portobello mushroom) was also tasty. And my son devoured the chicken and waffles! Located right in the village of Saugerties, this is a popular eatery and we now know why! 📍Love Bites Cafe 69 Partition Street Saugerties, NY 12477

TO DO: {Valhalla} If you have not visited the Kens TO DO: {Valhalla} If you have not visited the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla, you should add it to your to-visit list. You are able to walk across the top of the dam to see beautiful views of the Kensico reservoir. These pics were taken when we visited last month, but I’m sure the fall foliage is looking pretty right about now! Make sure to stop by and view Westchester County’s September 11th Memorial, “The Rising.” Before the weather gets too cold, you can enjoy an outdoor picnic on the field. Or play a game of frisbee or catch. There are premarked Xs, designating socially distant spots and the field is large enough to accommodate many visitors. 📍Kensico Dam Plaza 1 Bronx River Parkway Valhalla, NY 10595
