A quieter alternative to Beacon, with its own restaurants and a nice section of Main Street. Try Dutchess Bier Haus.

Sightseeing
Our local trail, a 2 minute walk from the house. Lambs Hill has views of Beacon and Mt. Beacon - it's what most people are hiking up to. Bald Hill gives you much more solitude and has views of the NYC skyline (take the unmarked trail veering left shortly after starting the trail).

A local must-hike. Starting from Pocket Rd will get you away from most of the crowd going up - https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/new-york/fishkill-ridge-wilkinson-trail-loop--2

One of my favorite NY state parks. It can get very busy on the weekends, so try coming early or on a weekday.
