Just a short train ride from NYC, Irvington in the Hudson Valley, is one of the best places to experience fall in New York. So join us to explore this beautiful part of the state with a quick trip out of the city. The day will start with a classic brunch at Ludy Cafe, an awesome Aussie owned cafe serving the classics and of course a flat white.
After brunch the day is then yours to explore. Take your time to enjoy everything Irvington has to offer. Shop along Main Street, take a hike along the Irvington section of the Old Croton Aqueduct Historic Trail or discover the newly developed Bridge Street commercial area, right on the Hudson. It's up to you! Check out all the things to do in Irvington here.
Everyone welcome – come solo, come with friends or family and kids are welcome.
