Red Hook from New York City

Dutchess County

Red Hook is one of the canonical NYC weekender destinations, close enough for a day trip and distinct enough to feel like an escape. Bard College, the Tivoli corridor, and a farm-and-college weekend with two licensed shops quietly anchoring it. Below: how to get there from Manhattan or Brooklyn (Metro-North, Amtrak, I-87, the Bear Mountain Bridge), where to stay, the licensed dispensaries worth a stop, and a tight one-day or two-day itinerary. New York state law prohibits cannabis consumption on state-owned land and in public spaces. Adults 21+.
