Where to Stay in Kingston & Stone Ridge
Kingston became New York's first state capital in 1777, and its Stockade District dates to 1658. The city has three walkable neighborhoods: the Stockade District uptown, with bluestone sidewalks, 17th-century stone buildings and Hotel Kinsley; Midtown's Broadway Arts District, with galleries and the Ulster Performing Arts Center; and the Rondout, the former canal port on the Hudson. Kingston is a small city, not a weekend hamlet, with restaurants that stay open year-round, and Woodstock is 20 minutes away and Phoenicia 30. Stone Ridge, about 10 miles southwest on Route 209, is quieter. Hasbrouck House, a 1757 stone house with 25 rooms, has the Butterfield restaurant, and Applestone Meat Co. runs a self-serve butcher shop open around the clock.
