5 Unique Places To Visit In The Hudson Valley
The Huffington Post

1. Joes Dairy Bar

Hands down the BEST ice cream you've ever eaten. With great prices (and I mean GREAT) and even greater portions, this place is a local hotspot. While waiting on line can take up to a half hour some nights the wait is well worth it. With over thirty ice cream flavors and fresh soft serve, this place is an old school throwback well worth the drive!

2. Glazed Over Donuts

Located in Beacon, Glazed Over, which is a donut shop, is the perfect spot for anyone looking for a delicious treat with an artsy backdrop. Customers get the chance to create their own donuts with endless toppings like bacon, almonds, coconut and so much more. Best part? They are served warm!

3. Hyde Park Drive-In Theater

Head up to historic Hyde Park for the day and top your night off with a trip to the drive-in theater. For WAY cheaper than your movie theater you get to enjoy two movies for the price of one. This is a fun night time activity that won't break your bank! They have an adorable concession stand which really creates a 1950s euphoria! Head on up, but don't forget some chairs and bug spray!

4. FDR's Presidential Library

A perfect day when paired with #3, a trip to FDR's home is an awesome way to spend the day. Despite having been 18 times already, I love spending the day walking through his house and museum. There is so much to learn along with amazing artifacts to enhance the experience. You can also visit his gravesite which is right on the property. Not many people have the opportunity to live in such close proximity to a presidential library so don't miss out on it!

5. Walkway Over The Hudson

While this tourist attraction is a bit more well-known, it's just as popular and fun. While I suggest not visiting on a day over 80 degrees, this is a perfect afternoon activity. Standing over the middle of the Hudson River is one heck of an experience, not to mention you're in super close proximity to all of the above!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
