This is an example of what is considered special about the city of Beacon New York, according to an article in the New York Times, the quaint city of Beacon, is a great rediscovered new tourist destination.
It’s about one and a half hours due north of New York City by either car or MetroNorth train from Grand Central Station and over the past decade, the town has gone from sleepy working-class community to a popular weekend getaway. Beacon’s Main Street thoroughfare has farm-to-table restaurants, world-class art, and even a Doctor Who-themed café, all within a leisurely afternoon’s walking distance.
