Forbes: Fall Foliage from the Hudson River

forbes

Everyone loves the brisk air of Autumn, cozy fall sweaters and a warm restaurant, but to experience it in true form, is to be surrounded by the beautiful Fall foliage the Hudson River has to offer.  Forbes contributor Margie Goldsmith shares her experience of cruising with us up the Hudson River for a Fall Foliage Brunch Cruise where you get the best of both worlds! 

“It’s fall foliage time. But who wants to see the gorgeous colors while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on quaint country roads in upstate New York or New England? And not only is it almost impossible to find a place to park at a cozy little restaurant on foliage route, but, because of the crowds, you might have to wait for up to an hour for a table. There’s a much more comfortable and elegant option; sail up the Hudson on a 1920’s-style wooden yacht while sipping a glass of French bubbly or Bloody Mary or Mimosa followed by a three-course meal.”

Time Out New York is known for giving the inside scoop of the most memorable things to do in NYC and we are happy that they stumbled upon us!  They joined us on our NYC Sunset Jazz Cruise and wanted to share their experience with readers.  Writer Shaye Weaver shares her journey with us aboard our 1920s style yacht, with our live jazz trio and the NYC skyline as the backdrop.   

“The cruise was fantastic, not just because of the views and the champagne, but because it gave me a zoomed-out view of my beloved city. There was also some camaraderie between people on the water, from the yacht’s crew to the musicians and even those already out on the water sailing.”
