Start off your day with a trip to Boscobell House (a 1 hour and 20 min drive from the city). The grounds are more impressive than the house which was built in 1808. You can sneak in and skip the entrance fee which is $9.
Then head to the town of Cold Spring which is 10 minutes away for great biking trails and fabulous shopping. Walk along Main Street all the way to the water. Main Street has antique shops, clothing stores, coffee houses and restaurants with outdoor dining, live entertainment on weekends.
Don't leave without checking out Little Stony Point State Park. The views from the high points of this state park are breathtaking.
Also stop at Bandstand and Dock. They have free concerts on Sunday evenings in July and August. You can also check out a scale model of the Parrott Gun, which was manufactured at the West Point Foundry in Cold Spring.
