According to NYUP.com if you visit any city this summer, visit Kingston! Located about an hour south of Albany, Kingston is another great city on the Hudson River with LOTS to offer!

Here is what NYUP had to say about Kingston:

New York's first capital city...is brimming with history, filled with great places to eat, dotted with historical markers and loaded with charm....(with a) beautiful waterfront area...great cafes, pubs and eateries.
