Updated: Sep Kingston, dating to the arrival of the Dutch in , is a vibrant city with rich history and architecture.
Kingston was New York's first capital in and was burned by the British on October 16, , after the Battles of Saratoga. In the 19th century, the city became an important transport hub after the discovery of natural cement in the region and had both railroad and canal connections. Passenger rail service has since ceased, and many of the older buildings are part of three historic districts, such as the Uptown Stockade District, the Midtown Neighborhood Broadway Corridor, and the Downtown Rondout-West Strand Historic District.
It is 91 miles north of New York City and 59 miles south of Albany. The drive from NYC is about miles and usually takes 2. With frequent daily trains between NYC and Albany and others that continue to Buffalo and Niagara Falls , business and leisure travel has never been easier.
The Rhinecliff Amtrak station is across the river from Kingston. From the station, you can grab an Uber or Lyft to take you across the Rhinecliff Bridge to your destination. Hudson Valley views throughout the journey. Since the drive is only miles it should theoretically take you under two and a half hours to get to downtown Kingston from NYC. The Taconic Parkway on the east side is mile after mile of great scenery and the exits lead to all the great villages along the Hudson like Rhinebeck, red hook, cold spring, etc.
Ends at the Massachusetts extension of the NY thruway with ready access to Albany toll road. On the west side, the NY thruway is less attractive but again offers access to villages along the way like new Paltz and Woodstock.
Definitely, the fastest way and you can get a cab from the bus station in Kingston. You do not necessarily need a car unless you want to explore other areas of the county and go beyond the city limits.
Check with your hotel about borrowing bikes or rent one from a local company. There is parking throughout Kingston November can be summer-like during the day up to the 60s or even 70s and cool at night when you'll want pants and a sweater.
November definitely brings a bit of chill to the mornings, and by the time the sun goes down, you will want that heavier jacket and sweater as we could get frost. Pants and a light jacket during the day are the typical norms for daytime wear; you may need an extra sweater or heavier coat at night. It is not unusual to see a little snow by late November. Again, keep in mind that it might rain or be windy.
Layers once again will keep your bases covered. Great Walking Shoes. Heavy Sweater. Long-Sleeved Shirts. A good bag that can carry a few things and also be comfortable. But they do exist. We recommend calling ahead and seeing if your pup is allowed.
This home has everything we could have wanted in a stay-place, private outdoor area and garden, huge kitchen for entertaining, luscious cloud-like beds, and not 1 but 2 soaking tubs. Experience original charm as well as the modern comforts of a fresh renovation. Uber and Lyft transportation can get you there safely. Check-in here is at 3 pm and a perfect time as the sun hits this beauty just right, right bout then. Hotel guests enter through the bar, then check-in at the lobby, which is nestled inside a vault that remains from when the structure housed a bank.
From there, guests get a lift in an old-school elevator to the upstairs suites. From the rooms to the restaurant to the bar, the interiors are stunning, each space totally unique but cohesive in the use of color palette and texture — this is the handiwork of interior designer Robert McKinley. No problem. The beautiful and delicious Restaurant Kinsley is open 7 days a week for dinner, plus brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Restaurant at Hotel Kinsley. Led by Executive Chef Ross Markhart, the New American menu is seasonal and locally sourced, designed around the harvest of regional farmers. Restaurant Kinsley offers dinner service 7 nights per week, as well as Saturday and Sunday Brunch. For breakfast and lunch, Outdated Cafe combines two of our favorite things: food and shopping. Order some vegetarian comfort food from the counter, then peruse the selection of antiques on the walls, shelves and tables — everything here is for sale.
Another favorite for breakfast is the cozy Village Coffee and Goods , offering up a yummy menu with a rotating selection of house-made baked goods and pastries. For casual yet interesting international fare, two great options are Yum Yum Noodles and Opa Greek Restaurant; for more of a brunch vibe, we love Duo Bistro. Dinnertime brings another plethora of possibilities.
The cozy, dimly lit interior is perfect for those chilly evenings — grab a spot by the fireplace, if you can. During summer, the patio is great too.
