8 Fall Activities To Do In Hudson Valley

Fall in the Hudson Valley is absolutely stunning. With the leaves changing, the air crisp, and apples in harvest, autumn is the best time to explore what the hudson valley has to offer before the weather gets too cold. Here are 8 must do’s for this fall.

1. Visit the Culinary Institute of America

Grab a bite at one of the restaurants at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Enjoy the fresh fall fruits and vegetables prepared by the future of culinary artistry. The choices of local products is limitless. At the American Bounty Restaurant, and I would highly recommend grabbing a Salted Caramel & Coconut doughnut from the Apple Pie Bakery Café.

2. Saugerties light house

The Saugerties Light house is a hidden treasure. The view is beautiful and the best time to visit is at sundown when the water is low.

3. Try a fresh apple cider doughnut

Although it isn’t specific to the Hudson Valley, apple cider doughnuts are a fall must.

4. Go for a hike in the Tivoli Bays

A quick trip to the Tivoli bays on a nice Sunday afternoon is the best way to appreciate the fall weather. There are multiple hiking paths for hikers of all experiences.

5. Catskill Animal Sanctuary

The catskill Anumal Sanctuary is the perfect escape from writing papers. Visit the animals like Amelia the pig and Buddy the horse or, go for a tour and learn about their compassionate cuisine program!

6. Visit a state park

The Hudson Valley is home to many state parks like Nayak Beach State Park, and Mohonk Preserve in New Paltz. There are incredible views of the hudson and of the leaves changing.

7. See a show at Bard College

Bard has an incredible theater program and very talented students. There are plays like Betrayal (the weekend of Nov. 6) and Iphigenia Among the Taurians during the fall season.

8. Vote

Everyone registered locally to vote should go to the polls on November 3. Make your voices heard!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
