One "historic" hometown in the Hudson Valley is getting rave reviews for "transforming its waterfront."

"One of the most immersive Revolutionary‑era escapes is hiding just under two hours north of Manhattan," Secret NYC writes up the City of Newburgh.

The website believes that the City of Newburgh is the perfect spot for a Do It Yourself "Revolutionary food & cider” weekend—complete with historic grounds, craft brews, and waterfront fireworks."

New York City residents are encouraged to take the train to Beacon and then order ride to Newburgh, or drive themselves.

The first suggested spot is Washington’s Headquarters. It's the spot (something that most Hudson Valley residents already know) where George Washington lived and worked during the final years of the Revolution.

"Docent‑led tours, artifacts, and outdoor grounds give you a tangible glimpse into 18th‑century life, set against sweeping river views that feel straight out of a period painting," Secret NYC states about Washington’s Headquarters.

Then New York City residents can walk over to the Newburgh Brewing Company and grab a pint inside an historic warehouse.

After a drink, food at the brewery is an option, or a short walk to Hudson Taco, which is located inside the restored West Shore Train Station.

Hudson Taco has been named the best place to tacos in the Hudson Valley for many years by WPDH listeners.
