The reason Hudson Valley has an idyllic reputation in the first place is because of towns like Kingston, New York. The capital of New York state during the American Revolution, Kingston’s historic Uptown (also called “The Stockade District”) is dotted with stone houses and Federal-era brick buildings which house bookstores, art galleries, and farm-to-table restaurants. (No chain store or private equity backed coffee shop in sight.) Meanwhile, the Downtown area (also known as the Rondout District) is nestled right on the banks of the Hudson River.
