Hi everyone, I'm going to Beacon and Cold Spring on a foliage cruise from Manhattan to see the foliage colors. What is the best weekend to see the peak of the foliage in Beacon? My cruise is on Saturday the 12th, but I think it would be a bit early or do you think the peak will be there by that weekend?

Is there any interest for an r/ beacon parents (or something along those lines)? There seems to be a wealth of information shared by other parents scattered across multiple social media platforms which is is typically buried under general Beacon topics. If there's enough interest I'll start it and start sharing it around.

As a note: not sure if there's a way to title the community to include close towns like cold spring, Fishkill, Wappingers Falls, and yes even Newburgh.

Nothing pretentious, just your classic American-Chinese restaurant, which is the best in the area?

Hey all! New in town. Anyone know of a bar that I could watch the Mets playoff game tonight?

I’m looking to cut a small amount of aster and goldenrod flowers for my wedding. They’re pretty common in the middle of highways lol, but I’m struggling to find anything accessible where I won’t get in trouble for taking them. Has anyone spotted natural areas around beacon with a bunch of wildflowers growing? An empty lot or something? Along a hike? Any leads are appreciated.

I am burnt out and thinking of a 2-day solo trip to Beacon from NYC this week to decompress. I don't have a car and will be taking the train. My objective is to spend time in the nature and relax. I can go for hikes if needed. I haven't been outside of NYC yet and would appreciate some inputs:

1. Are 2 days too much for Beacon given people usually go there for day trips?
2. Any recommendations for hotel/Airbnb ?
3. Any recommendations for Treks/hikes/walks to soak in the views ?

Thanks a lot !

Hello we just moved here from the city, and I'm just wondering if there are any empty parking lots to practice driving? Thank you in advance!

This month was 612 kWh for $170. Of that $54 is supply charge and $112 is the delivery charge. The gas is more laughable at less than $2 in supply but $38 in service charges. Is it considered normal for your service delivery charges to be 2x your supply charges? Or 19x in the case of gas?

Hi all. My wife and I live in a rented townhouse in Beacon. We had a baby five months ago and are looking to buy a house. We are both from the area and love living here. Beacon school district is historically not rated very well. What is everyone’s experience with the schools? Do you think with the amount of money coming in to Beacon it’s a fair gamble that the schools will turn around? We would love to stay here, but if the schools truly aren’t good, we would look out towards Fishkill/ Hopewell. Appreciate the input!

Title. Im new to this so im not sure if there are any psychologists in this field but if so please send those!

Any recs for favorite stroller walks in the area? Ideally something around an hour total outside in nature, up to a half hour drive away. I’ve been taking him on walks around Beacon and we’ve done Long Dock Park a bunch, but would love any recs of other faves!

Hi! I am hoping to move to either Beacon or Cold Spring, NY. When I've visited there are a lot of people in their 20s/30s working in local businesses, and I'm wondering where you found affordable housing! There are only a handful of apartments listed on apartments.com and they're pretty expensive. Thank you <3

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has ever hosted an event at the Elks club. Do you have to be a member to do so?

Looking for a good place to host a 1st bday party and thought that might be nice for indoor/outdoor space.

Thanks so much!

Hello! Looking for a rec on a good plumber in Wappingers/Beacon. Moved here recently. I see there are a lot of big companies that cover a big area and dispatch one of their plumbers, and then there are local people. Personally I'd rather choose a local person, but idk I'm new here and also new to home ownership. LMK what you would suggest - thank you!

I’m incredibly uninterested in being this person, but leash your dogs!! Especially if they’re not trained. Just had a run-in with an off-leash dog at Hiddenbrooke. White lady, mid/late-40s running with an off leash dog who was totally unresponsive to her commands and ran at my quite reactive on-leash dog and nearly made contact.

Hi all! My boyfriend and I are from Long Island and we're looking to move into the area, specifically in Fishkill. I do commute to Manhattan 3 days a week for work and the Beacon Train Station is closest to the apartments we like.

Is the parking permit application only through LAZ parking? Are there specific lots that are only for the residents of Beacon? I'll be applying for the non-resident parking permit.

Thanks!

Hello y'all, this is so random but if you want a wildy entertaining 5 mins of your life go to the Beacon Bread Company's "lowest" reviews on Google Maps and then read the owners responses to them.

Hey moved to Beacon and looking to get out on the Onewheel. In my previous town I had a neighbor and we’d go on chill like 30 minute rides from time to time which worked well, I don’t ride fast and also a Dad so not looking for big injuries, just a nice float!. Hit me up.

does anyone know what is going up on Schenck and Main Street (btwn Carters and Chase bank)? It has a large revolving door so I’m assuming it’s a hotel.

Bonus points for anyone who knows what the plan is for across the street from big mouth and next to mosque.

Thanks!

Hi all, anybody notice an excessive amount of helicopters/aircraft’s flying over beacon today?

I feel it’s constant so much more than usual. Is there something going on or some scheduled air show ?

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with living at Edgewater Place? What is the noise level like? What's the insulation between units? Are the tenants mostly young or is there a mix of ages?

Any other opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone been to the photography studio on Main, the one that does “tintypes?” My wife and I are looking for anniversary photo recommendations and this seems like a fun option, but we’re in the city and wondering if it’s worth the trip. Experiences?

The burger and fries are great. Reasonably priced. Quick. 5 stars.

Anybody out there know of any spooky, strange, weird, horror, Halloween type events coming up?

Stuff like the Horror convention in Fishkill, ufo festival in Pine Bush, Halloween parades, etc.

If you know the actual dates or have links to official websites that would be ideal.

Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on the best spot in town for chocolate chip cookies?

Generally, how available are Ubers late at night (1, 2 AM) in Beacon?

Thank you!

Anyone know Harris - lives in Beacon - African American fellow and drives taxis and Uber....He gave me his card on my last Uber ride and I lost it....Thanks - does anyone know his full name and or number? Very nice fellow....LMK thanks

I'm really interested in attending the corn festival but it's over 1.5 hour drive for me.. for anyone who has been, is it worth the trip? What kind of vendors are there? I don't mind if they are not corn related but I would be more interested if there are some amazing food/craft/environment related booths there. Also, is it hard to sign up to ride in their boat or will there be a waitlist?
