Red Hook Halal Travel Guide

This is a very pretty area of the Hudson Valley, characterized by countryside and small towns. Stores commonly close early, and in places like the tiny village of Tivoli, most stores and restaurants never open at all on Tuesdays.

The Village of Red Hook, though small, is the largest population center in the Township of Red Hook, and has a center that's more than the single (albeit nice) street and crossroads of Tivoli. Annandale-on-Hudson, on the other hand, has no center other than perhaps Bard Central Campus, which doesn't really function as a downtown, as the land is privately owned and it lacks the shops and restaurants of a typical downtown.

By Rail

You can take Amtrak to Rhinebeck|Rhinecliff and then take a taxi. Taxis are expensive, however, so get a ride from someone if you can.

Get Around

If you choose to use the Dutchess County Loop Bus, consider calling their phone number, +1 845-473-8424, to double check on current times and bus stops.

What to see in Red Hook

Bard College - IMG 7991 - |Chapel of the Holy Innocents, Bard College

In addition to the following attractions and the villages of Red Hook and Tivoli contain some beautiful antique buildings, many of them private houses. Some are truly unique in shape. If you want to see them, you are best off walking the few streets of Red Hook's small downtown and on Montgomery Street for some ways to the south of Broadway in Tivoli. Broadway almost singlehandedly constitutes the downtown area of Tivoli, roughly from just east of Montgomery Street to St. Sylvia's Catholic Church. That stretch is quaint and well worth a walk, which is unlikely to take an able-bodied person more than 10 minutes even if done in a leisurely fashion.

There is also Blithewood Garden — a beautiful garden with big rose bushes, statuary, and a great view across the Hudson, downhill from a Victorian mansion that now houses the Levy Economics Institute — and a separate pleasant modern take on a Japanese rock garden island with a distinctive footbridge to get there and a moat full of carp, with the pretentious name of "Parliament of Reality," across campus near the Gehry-designed Fisher Center. Much wildlife lives on campus, including hares and several varieties of pretty butterflies. There are student-guided tours arranged by the Admission Office, but you can also obtain a self-guided tour pamphlet and a map in that office, or at the kiosk in front of it. In addition and there are concerts and other events at Bard that are open to the public.

• Santa Fe - ☎ +1 845 757-4100 52 Broadway, Tivoli. Exceptionally popular Mexican with emphasis on fresh produce and bold flavors.

• Traghaven - 66 Broadway, Tivoli ☎ +1 845-757-3777 | Opening Hours: Open daily at 5pm. Closed Mondays - This is a whiskey bar with a great selection, including local whiskeys like Taconic. You can obtain whiskey flights if you'd like to taste 3 whiskeys; they charge you the shot price for each whiskey, which is about 1/2 the menu price (so a whiskey costing $15 on the menu would cost you $8 as part of a flight). This is also a true restaurant, with food of much higher quality than bar food. For example and their salads use fresh ingredients (their house salad uses a lot of poppy seeds and one of their dressings is a very well-made carrot vinaigrette), not fumigated tomatoes, and their Steaks frites are excellent on both counts. Their food portions are humongous, so unless you have a tremendous appetite, you may be best off sharing things. Desserts are also high-quality; for example and they make delicious fudge in-house for their ice cream sundaes.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

There are several inns in the Village of Red Hook and a couple of hotels in Tivoli.

Stay Safe

If you are driving, watch out for deer on the road and cyclists or pedestrians on the side of the road. Deer cross very often, sometimes darting headlong into traffic without warning, and you really don't want one to go through your windshield if you can avoid it.

If you are cycling or walking on the side of 9G, be very mindful of motor vehicle traffic. This narrow road is a major thoroughfare in the area, it lacks any sidewalk, and many motorists speed. There have been some fatal accidents involving pedestrians.

If you are hiking, watch out for deer ticks that can spread lyme disease, as they are prevalent in the area. Poison ivy is also present in wild country like Tivoli Bays. And mosquitoes, though usually not spreading disease in the area, are a pain, as are chiggers, which can bite your feet without your even noticing them until the next day. Consider using an insect repellent.
