Surrounded by the Catskill and Berkshire mountains, there are many outdoor recreational activities to enjoy - golfing, skiing, hiking. The New York Times has called Hudson "An Elegant Transformation"​ and recently a New York Post article described Hudson as a city that "​...has become a center for art, design, performance, food and drink. It perfectly embodies the old-time, artisanal look of recent years...Hudson is not only burnishing its reputation for midcentury antiques and contemporary art, it has also become a formidable performance hub as well."​
