COS hosted a lovely group getaway upstate during peak foliage in mid-October. We stayed at Piaule, which was on my radar since opening during the pandemic. A quick two hour drive from the city, we arrived just in time for afternoon snacks and a swim at the spa.

We spent the following day at Art Omi, an arts center with a 120-acre sculpture and architecture park and gallery. It reminded me of Storm King Art Center, which I have been visiting for years. If you are a fan, Art Omi is a must as well!

We spent the afternoon exploring Warren Street in Hudson. It’s a very long street, and there are so many cute cafes and stores! Wylde Hudson has great vibes and Gestalt has a great furniture selection. We also had a tea mixing, chocolate tasting, and sage gift-making class at The Quiet Botanist, which is a beauty of a store in itself.

We were blessed with beautiful weather through the entire trip and were able to soak in the views one last time on the final day.
