Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of driving up to the Hudson Valley in Upstate NY and stumbled upon a charming town that reminded me of the cozy vibe from #gilmoregirls. Just an hour and a half away from NYC, Kingston is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Here are some of the wonderful places I discovered that you'll love too. Starting the day with delightful macarons and cupcakes at @sweetmaresas, I then wandered through the historic neighborhood, taking in the English Countryside-like atmosphere at Four Quarters. Mid-morning, a visit to Rough Draft Bar & Books provided the perfect retreat, offering a great selection of books and a cozy café for a relaxing moment. Half Moon Books was a treasure trove for book lovers, with its carefully curated titles at affordable prices. For lunch, @hotelkinsley was a delightful stop. Exploring Broadway and Kingston Plaza revealed unique stores like Lovefield Vintage for beautiful vintage furniture and décor and Blue-Byrd’s Haberdashery & Music, a quirky store for music lovers and collectors. If you're looking for the perfect getaway, Kingston is the ideal destination to explore. #upstateny #upstatenewyork #travelvlog #weekendtrip #fallweekendtrip #newyorkweekend #visitnewyork #explorenewyork #falltravel #smalltowncharm #autumnaesthetic #fallvibes #fallfoliage
