Rhinebeck is a bit more posh and upscale. We love the local five & dime store Stickles. Great shopping, Yoga and lots of restaurants all right in town. There is a farmers market on Sunday. It's on the way back to NYC. Amtrak also comes in to Rhinecliff if you need to drop off or pick up anyone coming in from NYC
