HUDSON RIVER CRUISES ABOARD THE RIP VAN WINKLE
moiraistyx Says: If you have the time, I highly reccommend taking one of the two hour site seeing tours offered by Hudson River Cruises. I last went July 1st of 2007 with Tony. I won our tickets froma radio station so it was free, but the regular cost is more than affordable, just $17 per...

johncudw Says: Location is south of Kingston off Route 9W in Port Ewen, in the middle of the Hudson River.There is a parking area and trails along the edgeof the river. Good place for a picnic and viewing boats that go by
moiraistyx Says: Next to the mini zoo there is a wonderful play ground that will keep your children entertained for hours on end. This is a metal and wooden continuous structure. There are all sorts of nooks and crannie for children to crawl through, run through, jump through etc. On a good...
moiraistyx Says: Located just a few blocks away from the Senate House is a wonderful park and zoo. The zoo is more like a petting zoo, but it is great for the really young children. They have several species of birds, a bull, coy fish, peacocks, goats, a bull, llamas, an albino deer and...
moiraistyx Says: The other day I was out and about exploring the light houses in the Hudson Valley and I came across this cute and interesting museum. This museum is the only museum in New York State dedicated exclusively to preserving the maritime history of the Hudson River, its...
HEADLESS HORSEMAN HAUNTED HAYRIDE
moiraistyx Says: If you like scarey things, don't pass up this attraction. It is wonderful. The entire activity consists of a haunted hayride, a haunted corn maze and 3 haunted houses. The scares are mostly people popping out of no where, but there are actors who chase you around with...
Kellycf Says: The Farmer's market is a great place to go and get local fruits, veggies, maple syrup, etc, etc. Located in uptown Kingston, you can also visit the privately owned shops and boutiques. Great for an easy saturday morning!
The Catskill Mountains in Fall
Easty Says: Around the beginning of October, there is breathtaking scenery in the Saugerties area. The mountains are a golden yellow this time of year. I suggest a nice cruise up NY Route 23A towards Hunter. Beuatiful!!!
Rip Van Winkle Hudson River...
feline01 Says: Rip Van Winkle Hudson River CruiseI'm a sucker for a boat ride and that's why we came to Kingston in the first place. I really enjoyed this 2 hour trip down the Hudson. It passed lighthouses and historic homes in Hyde Park and surrounding environs. The commentary was...

I've been to this Appliebees location a few times. This last time was for dinner with my friends Scott, Staci, Mike and Staci and Mikes children Sean and Cassidy. The restaurant was jam packed with people coming and going rather quickly. I was not happy with our service. Not only was she not attentive, but it took her 10 minutes to bring out a side of bar-b-que sauce for Patrick's chicken fingers. She also brought my meal out to me incomplete and I had to wait 10 minutes for the missing stuff, and when I got it, it was cold. I was so annoyed by the end that I didn't bother with desert. If I had had Monolpoly money that would have been her tip.
Favorite Dish: One this visit, I had the appetizer trio as my meal. It had the artichoke/spinach dip, mini cheeseburgers and the boneless buffalo wings. The dip and the wings were great but the cheeseburgers were cold so I didn't like them. Patrick had the children chicken fingers with fries which he loved. Staci and Mike started their meal with what looked like a great Caesar salad.

Most people will arrive by car, its Exit 19 off the NY State Thruway (87). Adirondack Trailways and USA Coach also stop here, bus station is next to the Stockade district.
Kingston has one of those tacky fake trolley's that stop at all the tourist areas. Never took it, we just drove. Parking is relatively easy.

There are 3 main districts in Kingston. As you enter the city from 87/NY State Thruway, the first district is Uptown/Stockade District which has the largest concentration of historical monuments/buildings. This is a very pleasant area to stroll around and check out the pre-1800 houses. The Midtown district appears to be the poorest area with not as many sights but still some beautiful homes. The Rondout district is farthest east, next to the Hudson River. Loads of quaint buildings, museums, cafes and such. Free parking makes this area very attractive for strolling.

feline01 Says: 1st-do read my favorite memories of Kingston if you plan on visiting this museum. This museum is obviously a labor of love. Don't expect a fancy museum, it is run on a very tight budget. I don't have a particular obsession with trolleys, I just can never pass on a scenic...
Easty Says: Esopus Lighthouse in Saugerties. A nice looking lighthouse along the Hudson River. Just north of Saugerties off US 9W. Follow the signs to the Lighthouse. It will require a 1/2 mile walk to get to.
Maritime Museum located at 1...
feline01 Says: Maritime Museum located at 1 Rondout Landing (Tele 845-338-0071). Only museum in New York devoted to preserving the maritime heritage of the Hudson River. A little boat ride takes you to the historic Rondout Lighthouse where the Rondout Creek and Hudson River meet. Very...
Quasimodo's ride through Kingston
feline01 Says: Chris and I decide to take a trolley ride offered by the Trolley Museum of NY, 89 East Strand Street, in the Rondout district next to the Maritime museum. Anway, we just got off the boat ride and there's a trolley right there. We're told it's a 40 minute journey along the...
Easty Says: Hudson River Cruises is an hour long cruise along the Hudson River. The boat leaves from Kingston and goes down the Hudson to Hyde Park where it goes past the mansions. It is a must do.
