This past weekend, my girlfriend and I went upstate for some time away from the city. Hudson, is widely known as the Brooklyn of Upstate and it lived up to that moniker. It was startling how fun of a town it is. I had never been Upstate, except that one time I went to Buffalo to hang with Westside Gunn, and I had an eerie feeling: what if it wasn't fun? But, it was. Our AirBNB was dope, and it was good to get away.
We went to an Antique store, and it ruled. So many cool old time American stuff in that place that you never see anymore because everyone wants to be disgustingly modern. There was a Victorian, The Favourite style bed with a roof over the bed and it was perfect; an old typewriter, and a wheelchair that a polio patient would have done.
There was a bookstore and a bar, called Spotty Dog Books and Ale. Sarah and I sipped on our ciders while I read a biography on John Lewis and she read another book. This is something that New York might have, but definitely needs to promote more. It was heaven on earth in that bookstore.
We also went to Cafe Mutton, which was on the New York Times list of best restaurants of 2022. The scenery is great, and the food was tasty; it shocked me how many former NYC residents had moved up to Hudson and were enjoying a meal at Cafe Mutton.
I love New York -- it was the greatest city in the world at one point -- but Hudson reminded me why they are things that need to change in the city. I'm too young, much too young, but I did not think a move upstate was out of the question. It is a great town. Check it out!
