My Favorite Cornwall New York Haunts

Cornwall, NY is the kind of quaint small town where if someone sneezes on Main Street, a chorus of "Bless you!" echoes from all directions. It's nestled in the Hudson Valley, where the hills are just high enough to give you a solid leg workout, but not so high that you need to pack a canteen and a Sherpa. The town has all the classic hallmarks of "Small Town, USA": a coffee shop that serves coffee strong enough to raise the dead and a main street where everyone waves at you whether they know you or not. The Hudson River is just a stone's throw away. The river is a source of both recreation and romantic backdrop, perfect for couples who want to stare into each other's eyes while the mosquitoes have a feast on their ankles. Overall, Cornwall is a place where the pace is slow, the smiles are genuine, and the most exciting traffic jam involves a family of ducks crossing the road. It's charming, it's quirky, and it's just the kind of place that makes you feel like you've stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting, with a touch of "The Andy Griffith Show" thrown in for good measure.
