Cold Spring

This weekend we had one of Helen's friends up from The City so on Sunday they wanted to have a brunch. Helen was opened to ideas so I suggested we check out Cold Spring, about 25 miles up river from Croton-On-Hudson.



Main Street in Cold Spring, consisting of cafes, bookshops, art galleries and antique stores, which are the primary industry of all the Hudson river towns it seems.

Helen enjoying her lobster Benedict as the 12:42 to Poughkeepsie rolls past. The place we ate at is located at the old 1890's train depot which as been converted to a cafe and beer garden. The modern train station is about 100 yards down track from the cafe. The commuter line pulling out of the station is quaint. The Amtrak express, which neither stops or slows down, flying past at 115mph is an experience. The food at the Depot, as they have so cleverly named the cafe, was pleasant enough but it's the atmosphere that top shelf.



There's even a few model train shops... Michael.

All in all a nice place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.
