Drinks & Nightlife
Fun, comfortable "basement" venue and bar. With a restaurant upstairs. I had been there years ago before Liberty and wasn't impressed with either of them. BUT, the new owners have transformed this basement into a very, very cool space. Worthwhile just to take a look.

Parks & Nature
One of my favorites parks in Rhinebeck is "Poet's Walk" a beautiful park bordering on the Hudson River. The views of the Hudson are stunning. Long, meandering paths leading down to the Hudson RiverAnd dogs are welcome! The Gazebo at the top of the hill provides really great views.

Just a mile or two outside of Rhinebeck check out Mill's Mansion - Norrie State Park which is located right on the river. You can tour the iconic mansion, walk the ground... The views are just spectacular, especially in the fall when the autumn colors light up the entire valley. Walk down by the river to dip your feet and to visit the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve and Environmental Center. The center has been undergoing some construction on their roof, so call before going.

Arts & Culture
For a extra treat go to "UpState Films" one of the few independent movie houses left in America. You'll find them tucked away on Route 9 next to the "Starr Building". They always have two or three great movies playing as well as special events. And they cost a lot less then the big movie houses.
