Hudson River Valley<br />
There are many sides to the Hudson River Valley. It’s home<br />
to history, an enclave of art and culture, a drink-and-dine<br />
destination, and an outdoor playground hundreds of miles<br />
long. There are several ways to get there via Amtrak, with<br />
stations in Yonkers, Croton-Harmon, <strong>New</strong> Rochelle,<br />
Poughkeepsie, Rhinecliff, and Hudson.<br />
