Woodstock is a pretty happening place. There are many restaurants, galleries and shops to choose from along the main drag. When you tire of that, there’s hiking, mountain climbing, kayaking, tubing, hang gliding or skydiving nearby.

Although Woodstock didn’t really happen in Woodstock, the hippies planted themselves there long ago and they’re not going anywhere. Jerry Garcia is alive and well and living in Woodstock. Hippies are a wonderful thing if you’re a tree hugging, left leaning, vegetarian like myself. I just want to shave my armpits. And not have to listen to folk music. That’s all I ask.

But I digress. Woodstock doesn’t really have too many negatives. Housing prices are a bit steep if it’s a second home. And perhaps the area may be too trendy and overrated compared to neighboring towns such as Saugerties.

If it’s legendary Woodstock you’re looking for, Yasgur’s Farm in Bethel is up for sale for a cool $ 8 mil.

Check out the Woodstock Film Festival this weekend! Get up there soon…leaf peeping season is almost over.
