A weekend in Hudson, block by block

Hudson is easiest on foot. Get off the train at the bottom of Warren Street and walk up; by the time you reach the top you will have seen most of the town and a good share of the houses that come up for sale.

Saturday

Start at the farmers market on Sixth Street, then work up Warren Street through the antiques shops. The side streets north of Warren are where the brick row houses are, and where most of my Hudson buyers end up.

Sunday

Walk to the waterfront park for the view of the Catskills, then drive ten minutes south to Olana. If you are serious about buying, book a viewing for Sunday afternoon, when the light on the river is best.
