Accessible from Manhattan in as little as an hour by car or Metro-North railroad, the Hudson Valley is the closest getaway that allows one to feel truly removed from the quotidian routine of city life.
[post_ads]This year, the unseasonably warm weather means outdoor destinations like the Storm King Art Center sculpture park and the Walkway Over the Hudson, the longest footbridge in the world, are accessible well into the prime months of fall foliage. Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, which begins October 30 and runs through November 12, provides yet another excuse to visit the beautiful region. Here are some of its top destinations.
