Day Trip to Beacon

Dear Dharma Drink friends, Join us as we make a day trip to the lovely city of Beacon that has a small-town vibe. Beacon is a city located on the Hudson River in Dutchess County, New York (approximately 60 miles north of NYC). As of the 2020 census, the city's population was 13,769. It is rich in history with an abundance of Victorian architecture, collectible shops, emerging art galleries, museums and more. Meetup details: Date: 6/6/2026 (Saturday) Departure Time: 10:20 am at Grand Central station. We will take the 10:55 am Metro North train. Location: Grand Central Station, NYC. We will meet and greet by the big clock in Grand Central. Note: Please purchase the tickets online (see below for link) or arrive early and get the tickets at the counter. Meet us sharp at 10:20 am by the big clock, where we will meet and greet each other. We will take the 10:55 am Metro North train from Grand Central and arrive at Beacon station at 12:30 pm.

Later, we will explore more of the charming Main Street where there are many slow-moving, tree-lined thoroughfares packed with cute stores and charming restaurants. We can also sit by the river and relax a little. Arrival Time: We will take the 6:13 pm train back to NYC at the Beacon train station.
