4 Things to do in Upstate New York

These are 4 fun things to do in upstate New York with your family!

Kahlo Collective


Kahlo Collective is the best eco-chic boutique with a big community vibe. Many believe it’s a little piece of Brooklyn in Pound Ridge. Tambra or “Tami” McCarthy curates sustainable, ethically made products. The highlight? She has her own Tambra skin care and candle line, all made by hand from organic materials. Tami is an active volunteer in Pound Ridge and often volunteers her time and resources to make it shine. Check out some of her off site wellness and education activities and events!


Noelle Healing


Kristin Raniola of Noelle Healing is an Intuitive Energy Healer and Reiki Master. She has helped countless people and pets deal with issues and re-align. When I need to re-tune or feel off, she is my first call. She also offers collective healing thru sound baths, and moon meditation/workshops. ⁠


Market at union hall


The Market at Union Hall is a small gem in North Salem. They are famous for their cafe which features coffees/teas/pastries, but also for their grocery store with local gifts for purchase, groceries, and local farm fresh produce. ⁠⁠


A benefit of where we live is we get to explore other neighboring towns! Stanford CT is known as a city center full of great food, colleges and even breweries! ⁠


Stamford Nature Center⁠


One of our FAVORITES is the Stamford Nature Center in North Stamford. We come here at least twice a month. They have farm animals, otters, owls, an amazing playground, and different programs for kids!! The afternoon reading program is perfect- books, then meeting an animal or two. ⁠

This week it was a baby chick and goat. I recommend snagging a membership and visiting often. You can also donate and help them continue their work. ⁠

These small sustainable outings don't require extensive planning or resources, but they can make a real difference—both for the environment and for your own wellbeing.

As a mom, I've learned one of life's most valuable lessons: knowing when to offer guidance and when to let go. This delicate balance hasn't just made me a better parent—it's become the cornerstone of my approach as your Northern Westchester real estate agent.

Your yard is an extension of your home and heart.Never Compromise on Outdoor Living As someone who's helped countless families find their perfect home, I've seen firsthand how outdoor spaces transform lives. A yard is where summer barbecues create community bonds, where children build memories that last a lifetime, and where you'll gather for celebrations big and small.
