I love this little pub. Simple, delicious grub, and good old American brews on tap. The staff is so friendly. This is a Cheers kind of place.

You can walk here in about 10 minutes, and you'd have a hard time finding better food driving 30 minutes anywhere. The baked goods are excellent (and excellently priced); the coffee flows; and I've yet to order something that didn't rival the best fare from foodie destinations all over the country.

Arts & Culture
One of the most unique and fascinating museums in the country, this beautifully restored village transports you back into the point in history that established New England's soul. Go to any or all of the free talks throughout the day, explore the working farm, and grab a bite (or cone) at the Seeds Market Cafe. Heck, even go for a hike. This place is magical.

Parks & Nature
A quick drive down the road, this is an easy hike that rewards you the whole way with beautiful forest and a cheerful little creek — streaming from a really impressive waterfall. It used to be a swimming hole until swimming was forbidden, but a lot of people hike in swim trunks anyway (nudge nudge, wink wink).

For something a little more removed and strenuous, this trail rewards you at the end with an old fire tower that offers some of the best views of the Hudson Valley I've come across. It's remote and quiet, a perfect late afternoon hike to whet your appetite for dinner.

Allegedly where Herman Melville concocted the basis for Moby Dick, this trail offers a range of difficulties with well-marked (and well-trod) trails. If you're game for it, take the red trail up to the peak. Your legs might burn, but you won't be disappointed.
