If you’re heading to Hudson to buy a $7,000 lamp, or meet people for brunch, or do whatever fabulous thing it is you do in Hudson, let me also suggest carving out a little self-care and booking a massage session with Steve Ewasick (518-653-1767). If you’re like me, you have no idea where to look for a good massage therapist, and you’re probably worried that you’re going to wind up in someone’s weird apartment with some rickety table set up next to an alter of vanilla candles and an Apple TV. That’s not what we’re doing here. Steve works out of a straight up chiropractic clinic nestled in a Price Chopper parking lot. And that is exactly what you want. You want receptionists. You want hallways. You want new construction and fresh coats of paint. And most of all, you want Steve, who is not only an incredible massage therapist, but is also kind, thoughtful and present and is able to chat with you and figure out what you’re looking for – Shiatzu, deep tissue – and how to really get in there. So before you dip into those 3pm martinis and buy a Victorian sleigh bed, throw on a pair of sweats and get yourself over to Steve’s. // Steve Ewasick, BS, LMT Massage Therapist // KB Chiropractic // 351 Fairview Ave #600, Hudson, NY 12534 // Office: [phone] #massage #massagetherapy #massagetherapist #selfcare #selflove #hudson #hudsonny #upstate #upstateny #deeptissue #shiatzu #energy #energywork #health #wellness #hudsonvalley #columbiacounty #upstatenewyork #newyorkstate (at KB Chiropractic Hudson) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2FWkJhr90/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cjubf6na4zy5

Tucked in the Catskills along a slightly death defying mountain road is the trailhead of Kaaterskill Falls, a Mecca for hikers in the know, and a jewel in the crown of New York State - the tallest two-tier waterfall in the Northeast. What I like most about the trail is that it’s basically like the Parks Department has said, you know what, this is just one of those places where you might perish. Your children, your fiancé, your entire European family. This could be where it all comes to an end. But on the flip side !! :) it could be one of the most thrilling adventures you’ve ever set off upon. So you know what, just kinda keep to the trail - or the rock steps - or whatever this incredibly steep cobbled path is that leads you to the top. On that note, this is not a light hike that you hit on the way to brunch. This is like Last of the Mohicans on a stairmaster. And just when you get to the top, bristling with joy and accomplishment, you see someone repelling down the other direction just to do you one better. Props to this woman, whoever you are (see the last two photos). So grab your legit hiking boots and an early parking spot (also on said death defying hairpin turn) and get climbing, life insurance policy and all. #hike #hiking #catskills #catskillsmountains #waterfall #waterfalls #kaaterskillfalls #statepark #newyorkstate #hudsonvalley #upstatenewyork #greenecounty #mountain #mountains #moutainclimbing #hiddengem #hiddenplaces #woods #nature #outdoors #roadtrip (at Kaaterskill Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnw1hVWhS1d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cc4wqnt60zf3

If you know me, you know I’m into scones, and this place does them like no one else. Soft scones. Yes, I know they’re supposed to be dry and bisquity and British, but give these a try and tell me if you aren’t won over. @blueberryhillmarketcafe1 #newlebanon #bakery #brunch #brunchspot #hudsonvalley #berkshires #blueberries #roadtrip #wakeupcall #upstateny #upstate #upstatenewyork #columbiacounty #food #bakedgoods #scone #scones (at Blueberry Hill Market Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BneByIGB9wS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t56cmtx3dish

Lovely discovery just north of Albany in the little hamlet of Vischer Ferry. @vischerferrygeneralstore Beautiful general store & lunch spot. One of the best grilled ham & Swiss sandwiches I’ve ever had. And we pretty much cleaned out the baked goods case. Comfy screened in back porch with a free library basket perfect for a rainy day. PS @erinrubydesign vouches for the breakfast sandwiches - “One of the best I’ve ever had. And the peanut butter cookies are super legit.” #vischerferry #generalstore #albany #albanycounty #upstateny #mohawkvalley #mohawkriver #hudsonvalley #upstate #newyorkstate #lunch #brunch #lunchspot #brunchspot #roadtrip #vintage #reclaimed #design #interiordesign #upstatenewyork (at Vischer Ferry General Store)

Look at Poughkeepsie being stately. This is the Poughkeepsie Journal building - one of the nation’s oldest running newspapers.

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Western New York’s Ontario County you’ll find a small cluster of beautiful teepees that you can hunker down in for a peaceful night under the stars. The newest addition to one of our favorite bed & breakfasts, Mountain Horse Farm in Naples NY, the teepees were designed by the same team that created the sets for Dances With Wolves. @mountainhorsefarm #hiddengemsaturday #anupstateofmind #teepee #naplesny #upstateny #bedandbreakfast #bnb #ontariocounty #fingerlakes #winetrail #nativeamerican #design #camping #homedesign #hospitality #openspace #roadtrip #upstate #outdoors #nature #backtonature #westernnewyork #westernny #upstatenewyork #hiddengem #newyorkstate (at Mountain Horse Farm)

Great coffee shop in Rochester @glenedithcoffee - and a very cool collabo with local electro band Joywave @joywavemusic - bringing you Joewave, a semi-tart, berry-forward coffee blend. Beautiful packaging. And cozy space. #rochester #rochesterny #coffee #collaboration #joywave #indie #dance #dancemusic #design #packagedesign #branding #coffeeshop #interiordesign #reclaimed #space #upstate #westernny #upstateny #monroecounty #newyork #newyorkstate #coffeeculture #glenedithcoffee (at Glen Edith Coffee)

Hidden gem in Western NY. Perched on the northern tip of Letchworth State Park. Mount Morris. Cool little Main Street town with a super legit antiquing scene. Former stomping ground of old timey baseball players. And the birthplace of the Pledge of Allegiance? What’s up Mount Morris. I see you with your licorice shops and enthusiastic gluten-free bakeries. Great burgers at Charred (including their own version of a “garbage plate” - excellent). And a restarant known entirely for lasagna @questa_lasagna. #mtmorris #mountmorris #livingstoncounty #letchworthstatepark #westernnewyork #upstateny #antiques #antiquing #bakery #glutenfree #licorice #baseball #vintage #architecture #americana #village #villagelife #shopsmall #shoplocal #rochester #rochesterny #quilting #quilts #handmade #upstatenewyork #upstate #newyork #newyorkstate (at Mount Morris, New York)
