Hastings-on-Hudson

The southernmost Rivertown, a tight downtown, and a Hudson Line commute under 30 minutes to Grand Central.

Hastings-on-Hudson is the southernmost of the classic Rivertowns, five stops up from the Bronx line and under 30 minutes to Grand Central. The downtown packs a disproportionate restaurant density into four blocks, Maud's Tavern, Buffet de la Gare, a handful of newer rooms, and the weekend crowd skews local. The cannabis-aware lifestyle in Hastings tracks the commuter-suburb rhythm, a THC seltzer on the train platform after work is not the move, but a low-dose edible before a dinner at home on a Friday is how a lot of residents in their forties and fifties have swapped out the second glass of wine.
