As someone who lives in the Hudson Valley, you definitely hit up some amazing spots and loved the video. You also came at the right time to explore the northeast in the Fall. There is a ton of history in the Hudson Valley of course, and its impossible to see it all in 2-3 days, but if you ever make it back and you're history buffs, I would totally suggest hitting up some of the famous houses like Kykuit (Rockefeller Estate), Sunnyside (Washington Irving's Estate), both of which are right near where you were (Sleepy Hollow). There's also FDR's Home and Presidential Library in Hyde Park. Of course, most of thee homes have tours and require reservations to get the whole experience, but totally worth it.
Thanks for the recommendation. Next time I'm in the area these will be on the list. I'm pretty lukewarm about all US presidents but my friend is a pretty big FDR fan lol. But you don't really need to like someone to learn something valuable from visiting their historic estate IMO.
@@DaimyoD0 FDR guided the USA through the Great Depression and WWII. His home is largish. The museum is good. It is a nice place to walk around. Most presidential homes, are not worth the effort, but a few are. Mr. Vernon, Monticello, and FDR estate are. At the same time, you can vist the Vanderbilt Mansion about 2 miles up the road where you get the best view of the Hudson Valley.
Glad you made it to Storm King and Mohonk. It looks just like it does on Upload. Me, I'm further north in Albany, but you're definitely hitting the highlights.
I love seeing the Hudson area. Makes me miss living in NYC. I've had the pleasure of staying at mohawk mountain house and it was a great getaway from the city. The food is amazing. The spa is beautiful. It's a must see. I've moved to Charlotte like most new yorkers these days. Ashville is amazing too. The Biltmore estate has an awesome tour. Thank for the video. One more thing NY state is the best for anything Halloween .
Thank you so much for showing the world that New York has so much than just the city. I’m from up by Saratoga Springs. Love your videos. You all are awesome!
There is another castle in New York, called Boldt castle, near Alexandria Bay , NY. in the 1000 Islands. It is now closed for the season but you could look it up. Quite the love story behind its build. I was able to take a ferry ride from the Canadian side to visit it. Even needed a passport! Can't wait to see where you go next.
Yes quite a love story, it was interesting reading about it. My stone-built house here in the UK, is actually older than that castle. It's great that it has been fully restored, because it would have been a shame, for an interesting part of history, to be left in ruins.
There is also Singer Castle down river! Singer Castle was actually lived in and you can stay in it now. Summer is great, but fall is beautiful in the 1000 Islands!
So excited you got to see so much fall gloriousness! I about lost it when the train whistle came out. I guarantee we would be doing the same. Can't wait to see where else you guys visit next!
I’m from North Jersey & Love the Hudson Valley. Mohonk is great, it is pretty steep $$ to stay there, but the grounds are world class. I’d say only things y’all missed on were seeing West Point. As pretty as the finger lakes, Catskills, and the Hudson valley are, the Adirondacks are the most stunning scenery in NY state. Recommend a stay in the Lake Placid area sometime.
I lived at Mohonk as a child in the 1950s - no driving on Sundays, electricity was 120 volts DC- lights and heaters worked, but not TVs. Limo to the school in New Paltz. Final year, we got AC current and had a television.
So excited to see more New York adventures, and in my new neck of the woods! Did you guys check out the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery? Thanks for giving me more places to add to my NY bucket list! ❤
We did visit the cemetery, but almost immediately got kicked out. 😅 Apparently it closes super early and a grounds keeper had accidentally left a gate open. What little we saw was awesome though! It's HUGE!
@@Theendlessadventure Lol that's too funny - at least you got to see a piece of it! Sleepy Hollow is next on my list to visit and I'm very excited about the cemetery. Good to know to get there early, thank you! ❤
Wow you guys timed your trip to the Hudson Valley perfectly! The fall colors look so majestic! The little island on the lake with the castle reminds me of Lake Bled in Slovenia. But without the yummy custard cake! Loved your vlog there with Travel Beans years ago!
I live in the Hudson Valley and fall is truly one of the most magical times of the year here! You guys did some of our favorite local fall activities! The Pumpkin Blaze is always so much fun for us. Glad you enjoyed our beautiful area of NY State!❤
I'm adding the Hudson Valley to my places to visit, thanks for sharing! And Alison, IMHO your life is very useful! You are just a ray of sunshine and this channel always makes me smile. :)
I beg to differ with you Eric, we are all useful and both of you share your trips with us which gives us knowledge, joy, and hope of places to go. We love you guys!!! ❤
Hi Eric and Allison What's going on Adventures that was an amazing time I do have to ask though Is it possible to put a Truck camper on the truck so that you can stay right their instead of the Camp sites your at ?
Great tour of my old stomping grounds! Traveling up RT 209, did you guys stop at the Hasbrouck House in Stoneridge? And if you stopped in Woodstock NY, just a few miles out side town up the mountain is an authentic Tibetan Monastery and Temple. Across the street are some pretty great hiking trails that take you all the way up to an awesome view of the entire area. With the Mohonk Mountain House, not sure if they still offer along with a trail pass, you can purchase a meal ticket and take advantage of their dining hall. And yes, great eats at Top Taste!
No.... No there really isn't! There is a lot of castle styled large houses or structures that are a folly, A copy of a castle or a folly isn't a castle. (full disclosure, there is also a lot of castle styled manor houses and follies in the UK described as castles, I also don't believe these are castles just copies of a castle)
My mom took me to Mohonk Mountain for my 10th birthday and it was absolutely amazing. It was such a gorgeous place. I did a horseback tour & the fish in that lake are GIANT.
This is our first fall not being in Canada and missing out on those colours is something I'm missing way more than I thought I would. Another great video you two!
As a lifelong Mid Hodson Valley resident, I truly appreciate this video. I honestly believe there's no other place on earth that is as beautiful as it is here in the fall. Thank you so much for showcasing our beautiful part of the world
You guys did a great sampling of the Hudson Valley! Next time you should check out the Black Dirt region near Warwick, NY. Anthony Bourdain featured a place on No Reservations in that area, and I can concur their food is top notch! The black dirt is a crazy looking region too, the most amount of reclaimed swamp land outside of the Everglades!
10:25 Technically, poi usually refers to balls on the end of ropes, which can also be used in fire dancing like this. Poi is originally from Maori of NZ and wasn't a form of fire dancing originally, AFAIK, but has since been adapted into a contemporary flow art, which includes fire spinning. I think the term is now sometimes used more widely to refer to fire dancing in any capacity, particularly when it is seen at tourist resorts in the Pacific islands. Inside the flow arts and fire performance community, the flow seen here on the video would be called staff / fire staff, and depending on the style, contact staff (in addition to fire breathing). Fire performance can include a variety of other props, like dragon staff, S-staff/baton, rope dart/meteor/puppy hammer, fans, hula hoop, leviwand, sword, nunchuks, orbital, juggling, fire breathing, and countless others. At any rate, the distinction is a bit pedantic and I don't think anyone in the community would call your statement outright wrong, they'd get what you mean, and the use of the term here is actually pretty neat IMO. I was excited just to hear that you've heard of us lol Source: I spin poi, sometimes including fire poi, and a little bit of rope dart and staff. P.S. If y'all ever see this, huge thanks for the Harvest Host tip, I am super excited.
I've watched some of your earlier vids of redoing the RV, Clementine. I can see why you miss her, but I LOVE that camper you are in now. You can set it up and use your truck to travel to the store and etc. I think I'd like it better than an RV, but that's just me. :) Happy trails. See you in the next one.
The Jamaican food looked delicious and the quality of your content is superb. I had no idea the Hudson Valley was so gorgeous with it’s resplendent fall hues.
YAY! I was thinking about you guys on the train headed down to the city last week (We passed right by Bannerman's Island-such a nice train ride) I'm glad you all had a good time and you mentioned you were headed north?? Maybe a quick trip to the Adirondacks? If you think The Hudson Valley is nice.... ;) Love seeing content from all over my home state!
Too bad you weren't still here in Michigan. Our colors were amazing this Fall! But that pumpkin extravaganza you saw made it worth the trip to the Hudson Valley! Beautiful area, I've only been there in summer.
Living in New Paltz, I kinda forget that people see our area as a touristy one, lol. You get used to how beautiful everything is and forget that it's not like this everywhere.
If you ever come back to Hudson valley again, you need to check out Rhinebeck NY. There is an adorable little candy store “Samuel’s Sweet Shop” it has the best cookies & coffee & old fashioned candy. It is owned by Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan of Walking Dead), he & his wife Hilary live in the area & Paul Rudd (Anchorman), he & his wife also live in the area. It is a beautiful little town.
I'm Hudson Valley born and bred and still live there. There are many other sites you missed as noted in the comments. One thing you will not find in the Valley is "y'all"...not a New York thing!
next hudson valley stop: eastdale ave bagels poughkeepsie(across the bridge from kingston and about 20 minutes south) also buns burgers in rhinebeck (right across from kingston) really good burgers!!
I’m from the Hudson Valley and I don’t think that you covered much of it at all. You missed three quarters of it. Mohonk is definitely a gem on the Hudson and nothing can compare except for nature. You went to Sleepy Hollow but completely missed the land of Rip VanWinkle. You missed drive in movie theaters, spectacular views and great things to do. I wish you had gone further up the Hudson or at least took a day cruise to see more of it. But, I congratulate you on bothering to look at part of the Hudson Valley because the rest of the world thinks we live in New York City!
Bannerman's Island was built up by a man who was a Scottish immigrant he n NYC. From a young age, he got into collecting military surplus and became very successful. At one point, he had accumulated quite a lot of military surplus, including explosives, which he was storing in a big Warehouse just in the middle of New York City. People didn't want him keeping all those explosives there! Around that time he had been traveling upstate and noticed on his train rides a big island in the middle of the river. He wanted to purchase that island, so he found the owner of the land and purchased it from her. It was there that he built his castle. It was not a well-constructed building. It was kind of hastily built, and he used the briny water from the river so the rocks disintegrated pretty quickly. Still it stands as an interesting monument.
Thanks for sharing your time in the Hudson Valley, Born and raised in the HV, it's heaven. West Point has always been a favorite, and you hit another one at Storm King. Missed Lego land and Historic Kingston and the Goshen track and Museum. Really need a few months to take in all the Hudson Valley has to offer. I'm on the other side of the river and didn't know about "The Blaze" will be going next year.
Mohonk has a great brunch. If you go during the week it is cheaper and it includes access to the grounds and 4:00 tea. Hyde Park is amazing! Culinary Institute of America has multiple restaurants. Apple Pie Bakery is a great option for lunch and of course dessert. All the mansions along the Hudson are must sees. If you don’t want to tour the houses, most of the grounds are free. Olana is our favorite! Rossi Rossi Italian Deli is a must in Poughkeepsie.
Hi guys! Im assuming by this point you’re already in New Hampshire on your trip but if you need any suggestions on the southern or coastal part of the state (hikes/breweries/etc), let me know! Thanks for the content!
A little south of Bannerman's in Garrison, Osborne Castle, or Castle Rock. It looks like it's straight out of the Rhine. Rumor has it, it was used as an inspiration for the castle in the Wizard of Oz.
U guys forgot to stop by 2 wineries in the Hudson Valley, and they r in Walden and in Montgomery. The one in Walden is called Angry Orchard I heard that place is good and the other one is called City Winery, and both of them r basically right down the road from where I live in Montgomery. Trust me, those two places r the u guys next stop on ur road trip. I hope to c u guys soon, love ur channel and ur videos
Hello from the PNW! When you make it to Washington state try to see Pike Place Market! You will love it! If you can, a day on Whidbey island is also fantastic!
I'm a little concerned about Eric, to me he's looking very pale and gaunt, those bags under the eyes, he basically looks shattered. I hope he's taking care of himself.

My sister is in-law is from Chappaqua.We stay in Tarrytown every summer and the Estate is fabulous!

@@DaimyoD0 I forgot to mention, I'd you go to Hyde Park, NY to see FDR, also go and see the Vanderbilt Estate. It's literally down the road.
Yesss I agree! Also they should stop at the Eveready, best diner food in the valley
@@DaimyoD0 FDR guided the USA through the Great Depression and WWII. His home is largish. The museum is good. It is a nice place to walk around.

The~you made welll done.
Is NJ next?
Even though I’m born and raised in Nyc, I wanna leave this crap hole and up upstate.
finally we also saw the states you visit. Please don't see (only) the caravan again
Thank you so much for showing the world that New York has so much than just the city. I’m from up by Saratoga Springs. Love your videos. You all are awesome!

At 20:07. Aww, low-blow Eric. ☹️ You’re awesome Allison! 🙌😊 Safe travels y’all! 😁
You didn't even scratch the surface. Please come back and stop at West Point, Bear Mountain and New Paltz to name a few.
So excited you got to see so much fall gloriousness! I about lost it when the train whistle came out. I guarantee we would be doing the same. Can't wait to see where else you guys visit next!

We absolutely love the Hudson Valley, especially in the fall! So glad you enjoyed your journey through NY.
Ok, it's settled, my husband and I are definitely going to do this whole trip! How the heck do you guys find such cool stops!! Thanks you guys ✌️
Awesome, you'll have a blast!! This trip was many years in the making, but mostly just hours of scouring Instagram and blog posts 🤣
I lived at Mohonk as a child in the 1950s - no driving on Sundays, electricity was 120 volts DC- lights and heaters worked, but not TVs. Limo to the school in New Paltz. Final year, we got AC current and had a television.
Love Allison's quick wit.👍😊🇮🇪🇺🇲
Can’t believe i’ve lived in the Hudson Valley for 26 years and haven’t been to any of these places 😅
So excited to see more New York adventures, and in my new neck of the woods! Did you guys check out the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery? Thanks for giving me more places to add to my NY bucket list! ❤

My thoughts exactly! Some very famous Americans are buried in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery!
@@Theendlessadventure there's a ton of famous people buried there. I spent a whole afternoon exploring it and well worth it!
You should be going to Beautiful Pennsylvania for fall colors, famous Pocono mountains and Lancaster Amish country.
Wow you guys timed your trip to the Hudson Valley perfectly! The fall colors look so majestic! The little island on the lake with the castle reminds me of Lake Bled in Slovenia. But without the yummy custard cake! Loved your vlog there with Travel Beans years ago!

Aww thanks, Molly 😊 We hope you get to visit one day! It's such a quirky/beautiful area.
I can't believe that you missed the extremely obvious "its gonna be lit" when referencing the jack-o-lantern thing. @ 3:30
I beg to differ with you Eric, we are all useful and both of you share your trips with us which gives us knowledge, joy, and hope of places to go. We love you guys!!! ❤
As soon as I saw Mohonk Mountain House I was like "That's Lakeview!" Upload. So good.
While I'm thinking about it, how is Clementine? Update, please!😇
I got Daisy a new shelter, baby! 🏠 🚌
Hi Eric and Allison What's going on Adventures that was an amazing time I do have to ask though Is it possible to put a Truck camper on the truck so that you can stay right their instead of the Camp sites your at ?
Wow I miss hudson valley my former home...great job sleepy hollow high school bball n football last couple years
Those pumpkins were incredible! Great vlog, guys. Safe travels.

Uh, Kingston, Jamaica…maybe that why you are having Jamaican food in Kingston, NY😂😂
Eric’s hair was a whole other character in this one 😂. Have fun guys!
Eric looked good with shorter hair before the pandemic :)
He's only one tattoo away from goth clothing lol
It's horrible and doesn't suit him imo(!!)
Especially at the end at that restaurant with the “curl/semi curl” curved around his eye! 🤦🏻♀️ …..Hopefully haircut is coming up!
Yep. Hair cut time for Eric.😊😊❤ Bless his heart!😊
Grew up near there.DONT EAT THE FISH!!
im Serious!
One of your best vlogs guys. I’m loving this series. Introducing me to places I will never have a chance to visit. Thanks.
Thank you! So happy we got to take you out and about with us!
There are 100s of castles in the United States.
No.... No there really isn't!
There is a lot of castle styled large houses or structures that are a folly, A copy of a castle or a folly isn't a castle.
(full disclosure, there is also a lot of castle styled manor houses and follies in the UK described as castles, I also don't believe these are castles just copies of a castle)

Should of said - Its gunna be Lit y'all
😂
The pumpkins are Amazing! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Any Barber shops up there in Hudson Valley ?
You guys did a great sampling of the Hudson Valley! Next time you should check out the Black Dirt region near Warwick, NY. Anthony Bourdain featured a place on No Reservations in that area, and I can concur their food is top notch! The black dirt is a crazy looking region too, the most amount of reclaimed swamp land outside of the Everglades!
10:25 Technically, poi usually refers to balls on the end of ropes, which can also be used in fire dancing like this. Poi is originally from Maori of NZ and wasn't a form of fire dancing originally, AFAIK, but has since been adapted into a contemporary flow art, which includes fire spinning. I think the term is now sometimes used more widely to refer to fire dancing in any capacity, particularly when it is seen at tourist resorts in the Pacific islands.

Classic Endless Adventure 👍
Two-drinks-in, enjoying themselves, and having fun Eric and Allison: even better 😊
🤣🍻
I've watched some of your earlier vids of redoing the RV, Clementine. I can see why you miss her, but I LOVE that camper you are in now.
You can set it up and use your truck to travel to the store and etc. I think I'd like it better than an RV, but that's just me. :)

Wehoo! I'll be eating my dinner with y'all tonight, thanks! LOL 🍽 🍷
Come on Allison.... You should have said. It's going to be Lit!
Great content as always. Just keeps getting better and better.
YAY! I was thinking about you guys on the train headed down to the city last week (We passed right by Bannerman's Island-such a nice train ride) I'm glad you all had a good time and you mentioned you were headed north??

Sleepy hollow area is across Tarrytown.
Beautiful! You did it right! ♥️♥️🇺🇸♥️♥️🇺🇸
Thanks for showing off a whole area in one vid. Looked very cozy w/the fall colors.
Ichabod Crane is the dude being chased by the Headless Horseman
I'm from Newcomb....alittle further north....it's beautiful...lots of hiking...boating...snowmobiling n skiing
Wow, it is truly an endless adventure watching your channel. Thanks for sharing this with us that watch your channel. Outstanding work both of you do.
Thanks so much, Edward!
As a Jamaican viewer I was happy to see a bit of my culture on display...
Love you guys!!💗💗❤️🔥💝❤️🩹💚💙💜
welcome To NY STATE
No it is not summer or Winter.. it is FALL🍁🍂.
LOVED the jako-lantern place.
Wonderful vlog!
Too bad you weren't still here in Michigan. Our colors were amazing this Fall! But that pumpkin extravaganza you saw made it worth the trip to the Hudson Valley! Beautiful area, I've only been there in summer.

Another great Eric and Allison video. I especially like the food segments. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
I don’t hear Hudson Valley and think Albany lol I think the proper region is the lower and mid Hudson. Albany is the upstate capital district to me.
Hudson Valley is so amazing 👏 😍.
Having an awful day then the Endless Adventure pops up on my RUclips, instantly improved my day 👌
Beautiful Hudson Valley. I lived there more than 40 years. I miss it.
I work at Mohonk teaching yoga on Saturdays!! Love this review of the beautiful HVNY!!
If you ever come back to Hudson valley again, you need to check out Rhinebeck NY. There is an adorable little candy store “Samuel’s Sweet Shop” it has the best cookies & coffee & old fashioned candy. It is owned by Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan of Walking Dead), he & his wife Hilary live in the area & Paul Rudd (Anchorman), he & his wife also live in the area. It is a beautiful little town.

Ahhh! I have the same sweater that Alison is wearing in the intro! I love it!
I live in the Hudson Valley......Rockland County baby
What about the castle on the beach in Huntington Beach State Park in Myrtle Beach South Carolina
You know what Poi Boy's name is? Asking for a friend. 😜🙈
Anyways, great video as always! Added NY to my bucket list.
next hudson valley stop: eastdale ave bagels poughkeepsie(across the bridge from kingston and about 20 minutes south) also buns burgers in rhinebeck (right across from kingston) really good burgers!!

My home. The blaze is amazing. Your in one of the most beautiful stops in the country.
Uh... You can make it from Manhattan to Sleepy Hollow in 30min? In a jet maybe.
You guys missed out on Hudson Valley Brewing. Fantastic beer. You were 40 minutes away in Kingston.
Bannerman's Island was built up by a man who was a Scottish immigrant he n NYC. From a young age, he got into collecting military surplus and became very successful. At one point, he had accumulated quite a lot of military surplus, including explosives, which he was storing in a big Warehouse just in the middle of New York City.

The next time your in New York you have to check out 1000 islands an Adirondack State Park. I think you would love it.
U guys forgot to stop by 2 wineries in the Hudson Valley, and they r in Walden and in Montgomery. The one in Walden is called Angry Orchard I heard that place is good and the other one is called City Winery, and both of them r basically right down the road from where I live in Montgomery. Trust me, those two places r the u guys next stop on ur road trip. I hope to c u guys soon, love ur channel and ur videos
Hello from the PNW! When you make it to Washington state try to see Pike Place Market! You will love it! If you can, a day on Whidbey island is also fantastic!
I live in the Hudson Valley it's beautiful year round. I love doing Walk over the Hudson. Hope you enjoy yourself
You're in my hood!!!!! I am from stone ridge and grew up in boiceville!
I didn't even know you could 'star' things on google maps, which would be so handy on trips. I've just been having to look things up over and over!
I'm a little concerned about Eric, to me he's looking very pale and gaunt, those bags under the eyes, he basically looks shattered. I hope he's taking care of himself.
Personally, I prefer the area north of Albany in the Adirondack mountains… Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, and Lake George.
Next time your in the Hudson valley and want pizza, try Pellegrino's Pizza .
