Upstate New York is in the midst of a renaissance. Over the past two decades sleepy, neglected towns and villages have been reborn as artists and creatives have gravitated to this area. Historic buildings have been lovingly restored and reinvented as sophisticated hotels, restaurants and shops. Hudson is probably the most famous of these towns, leading the resurgence of this area, and is easily accessible by train from New York City. Visitors are greeted by mile-long Warren Street with its inspiring shops, galleries, and restaurants. This creative renaissance continues to spread throughout the region and the result is a collection of creative and inspiring shops to visit. Wherever you travel there are charming shops to discover. Following is a roundup of some of our favorite upstate New York shops.
