Rhinebeck · From NYC

Rhinebeck from New York City

Dutchess County

Rhinebeck is one of the canonical NYC weekender destinations, close enough for a day trip and distinct enough to feel like an escape. Dutchess antique-village weekend — Beekman Arms, Oblong Books, the farmers market, and a brunch scene with no peer in the mid-valley. 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+.
