Bergen, NY
Hi all, hope you had a good weekend. My husband and I are going to Bergen, NY for a few days for his job and I was wondering if you could give us some ideas on things to do/see/eat. Thanks!

Weirdly specific regional request: trying to find a really good strawberry rhubarb pie around the West Nyack/Pearl River/Nanuet-ish area
I don't live in NY personally, but I visit once a year for Christmas and a relative of mine really enjoys strawberry rhubarb pie, and I've tried to find one in the area with only limited success. I tried one from a farmers market about twenty minutes away, but it wasn't anything to write home about unfortunately.
The only other time I looked was last year and that was trying to find it the day after Christmas, which was obviously much more difficult. I'm hoping to try and get ahead of it this year and see if I can order something in advance.
Thanks y'all!

Gotta get out of Indiana
I am 35 and looking to escape the republican supermajority hellscape that is Indiana. I am in a very precarious position, and money is tight, but I need to get out of this state, root and stem.
I've been in the tech industry for the last 4 years, but it's not for me. I'm looking to embrace the empathetic hippie lifestyle. I'd love to work in nature conservancy, help others escape shitty GOP havens, be of service in some way etc.
I am willing to till the earth for room and board, I just feel like I gotta get out of here soon. I've always loved New York, and am looking forward to hearing what you fine folks might think. It's time for a new adventure.
Thank you

Long Island and the military Industrial Complex
Just saw a podcast that breaks down some of the importance of Long Island strategically through the years. I knew some of this information, but the rest was really, really interesting. If you wanna check it out here it is.

How to deal with sun setting so early
This is my fourth year in NY and the early winter sunset is still kicking my ass. In my home state the sun wouldn’t set until almost 6pm in the winter and here it sets at around 4:40. I feel exhausted constantly and like I can’t get anything done after 5 or 6. How do you guys cope with this?

Should I be worried about the wildfires in the Hudson River Valley and New York City?
I live in Saratoga County and I wonder if I should be prepared to evacuate. I definitely smell smoke in the air and I feel like it is visible too
Edit: spelling
