Three and a Half Hours: Kinderhook
Inspired by a recent New York Times article, “36 Hours: Barcelona”, I decided to write about this past weekend’s experience and the (approximately) three and a half hours I spent in Kinderhook. (Granted, not consecutive three-and-a-half hours. I mean, let’s not go crazy…) I’m always looking for a good reason to visit Kinderhook, beyond yet…
The Best Gelato – Trust Me!
You’re on a “date” in Hudson – maybe it’s a first/second date. Maybe you’re married, and it’s date night. You turn to your partner and say, “Let’s get some gelato!” Both of you get in the car, and you drive down 3rd Street, onto 9G, outside the City of Hudson, and your partner looks at…
A Midsummer Night’s Supreme Dream
Happy Pride! Every now and then, someone asks me for my preferred pronoun or they ask if they should refer to me as “Trixie” or “Rich”. Honestly, I don’t care. Whatever works. I’m an old-school homosexual. I’m a “drag queen”, and my chyron underneath should read, FOR Entertainment Purposes ONLY! My gender-bending is barely an…
Open Early / Closes Late – Where to Eat in Hudson Off-Hours
I know you. It was 5am, you just got out of the Roxy, or some other Michael Alig party, and in order to sober up a bit before trekking back to your Alphabet City five-story walk-up apartment, you want a cup of coffee. You walk down 14th Street in platform shoes, (ripped) purple fishnet stockings,…

Halloween Weekend in Hudson!
I not only post about events in this little City of Hudson, but I try to go to them – and then post some pictures/text about them. I’m a little behind this month, but I’m sure you’ll like the Open Studio, 2econd Saturday, and Cemetery pieces – as well as a great interview with the…
Aromaster Class with Michael Schachner at Poured Candle Bar
Michael Schachner with Ricky, Dennis and Lisa of Poured Candle Bar I don’t drink wine…well, not really. If I’m at a dinner party and everyone is drinking wine, sure, pour me a glass. If I’m going to a party, I’ll walk into the wine store and ask the clerk to pick a bottle out for…
What Is This WYLDE Thing?
Last April, the Wylde Market – on Saturdays from 11 ’til dark -sprang up on S. 3rd Street between Partition and Union streets. A curiously-curated collection of artisans’ wares from the Hudson Valley (and beyond), the WYLDE market comprises three groups of vendors in rotation throughout the summer. Each group makes several visits until the…
