Read on for the breakdown of some of the best shopping the Hudson Valley has to offer.
Hudson is the place you want to be in the Valley if you have some money to burn. Chock-full of amazing vintage and antique merchants, this place is a dream come true for anyone looking for a temporary increase in personal space without sacrificing culture. R29 tip: Even though Hudson's Warren Street is one of the main strips of awesomeness, be sure to explore connected streets for hidden gems.

A selection of clothing at Ritual.

brands like Cheap Monday and Tulle.
