Upstate Livin'

I've gotten to spend a little time Upstate this summer... As you may know, The Catskills and Hudson Valley are one of my favorite escapes. Such a reprieve from the city and filled with so many good farm stands, hikes, and summer activities.

We often use Red Cottage to discover great upstate rentals and loved staying at Whale & Grove over the long July 4 weekend. Orchards, a fire pit, big red barns, and beautiful gardens made it the perfect getaway.

Some snaps of the inspiring space (via Red Cottage) & the accessories that I brought along:

And a few hot tips from our most recent visit:

Favorite (farm to table) burger in Hudson
Grazin' (Try the Suzie)!

Best place to catch tunes upstate
Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival. We're already planning on going back next year.

Where Lizzie gets a dose of textile inspiration
Les Indiennes on Warren Street in Hudson

Best gluten free bread (and not gluten free sticky bun) we've ever had
The quinoa multigrain at Bonfiglio & Bread

Favorite new restaurant that makes us think upstate might just be cooler than Brooklyn
Farmer and Sons in Hudson

Our favorite place to dive in on a hot day
The Peekamoose Blue Swimming Hole (Lizzie just loves the color)
