Amtrak Maple Leaf

Pros: The train was fairly quiet for the most part, the carpeted walls mute the sound very well. The toilet and seating where clean and in working order. Staff was helpful making sure I was headed where I was going. During the ride 1 staff member stopped and talked with me for a few minutes as we got something to eat at the dining car. The sandwitch and drink I got was not too expensive and was nice and cold. Cons: I have now been on the Amtrak train for 3 round trips so 6 total times and don't feel like anything needs to be done at this point. Tips: Bring a bottle of water with you if you don't want to walk up to the diner car. Bring a book or headphones to keep you entertained during your trip. Anything else like neck pillows or a scarf to rest on is more you need to bring as space can be limited. So weigh the space vs reward of those items.

Hudson

Hudson is a fashionable, accessible city in the middle of New York's Hudson Valley. Set at the foot of the Catskill Mountains along the Hudson River, this once-sleepy village is now a hip destination for New Yorkers to hit up on weekend getaways.

Stroll down Warren Street to soak in some of Hudson's small-town charm, and hunt for treasures in boutiques, antique shops, and book shops. Seriously, the antiquing in Hudson is no joke. The Antique Warehouse alone is 40,000 square feet of one-of-a-kind furniture and architectural elements.

Thanks to its location in the agricultural mecca of the Hudson Valley, Hudson is an incredible spot to visit for foodies. There are more farm-to-table restaurants than you can count, and there is a five-star coffee shop at nearly every turn.

It's easy to get to Hudson from anywhere in the Northeast if you have your own car, which is ideal if you plan on bringing home some antique furniture. It's also super affordable to take the train to Hudson, and getting there from New York City takes only two hours.
