Vogue Dubs This City As ‘The Brooklyn Of The Hudson Valley’
Does your current town or hometown have a special name for it? We may have our own slang terms for where we previously or currently live.
Whether this is something that was made up in the community, is well referred to in New York state, or something brand new, it's interesting to think about.
For instance, Poughkeepsie can be referred to as "Po-Town", Kingston as "K-Town" and Beacon has been called the "Mini Manhattan".
While some of us may or may not agree with these opinions or second names, it's something to definitely chat about.

Vogue Stated That Hudson, NY Can Be Referred To As The "Brooklyn Of The Hudson Valley"
Does this make sense to you?
According to Vogue,
"Hudson is often referred to as the Brooklyn of the Hudson Valley, but it has so much more to offer (although if you’re looking for that Brooklyn vibe, you can definitely find it here)."
Vogue continued to share reasons why this statement makes sense. From food and drink options to hotel and Airbnb options and places to explore, it may make sense.
I don't agree or disagree. I have been to Hudson, NY before and Brooklyn as well. However, I have never thought to compare the two because I believe that they simply are who they are, being different places within New York State.
The comparisons are relatable to some while others disagree.
