EAT WELL
I’m absolutely loving one of Hudson’s newest addition. Try one of their breakfast sandwiches! My personal favorite is the Bacon, lettuce, tomato, fried egg, dill mayo on homemade toast.
Willa’s is a neighborhood bakery and cafe in Hudson, New York, serving fresh baked goods, breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch. Drawing from classic recipes and family tradition, co-owners Greg Hamm and Andrew Buemi opened Willa’s as a laid-back and welcoming gathering spot for Hudson’s vibrant and diverse community.
Outside the kitchen, Greg and Andrew, who live in Hudson, love to explore the waterfalls, watering holes, and trails of the Hudson Valley with their dog (and the bakery’s namesake), Willa.
Who doesn’t love pizza?! Oak serves up a variety of individual 12″ traditional Neapolitan pizzas served unsliced. As I’m writing this I feel my mouth watering thinking about their Nantucket Calm pizza.
Our authentic Neapolitan pizzas are made from the naturally leavened dough (without the use of commercial yeast) and fired in our wood-burning oven. Our vast selection of small plates – veggies, cheeses, salumi, and seafood – take advantage of local ingredients and change with the seasons. We offer an ever-expanding selection of terroir-driven wines from southern Italy, craft beers and traditional Italian aperitifs and digestives.
Think Talbott & Arding when you’re not in the mood to cook. Or if you would like to invite a few people over for a small bite before checking out one of the many restaurants along Warren Street, Hudson.
SLEEP TIGHT
The Wick, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, is a new full-service boutique property in Hudson, NY. The hotel features 55 guest rooms, two meeting spaces, and on-site amenities, just one block from the Amtrak train station.
Hudson, NY serves as a commercial center to many burgeoning restaurateurs, musicians, artists and shop owners. But it’s also surrounded by the bounty of the Hudson Valley, from beautiful farms to popular hiking trails and more. For this reason, Hudson is often referred to as the “Downtown to the Upstate,” and it was right on the edge of this very downtown, overlooking the Hudson River, that we fell in love with a building. And a vision. Wm. Farmer and Sons and the Farmer family was born.
SHOP HUDSON
Sutter Antiques
For rare finds and the unexpected visit Sutter Antiques. Swiss-born antique dealer Alfons Sutter opened the first Sutter Antiques in London at the prestigious Kings Road Market in 1973. Alfons Sutter and his business partner relocated to Hudson, NY in 1995. Be sure to visit all three showrooms!
