Milliner Behida Dolić hand-shapes straw and felt hats to order from her Hudson studio-shop, alongside a small line of ready-to-wear garments. The workshop sells directly to customers rather than through department stores, keeping production small and made-to-measure.
Opened in 1991 as the first fine art gallery in Hudson, this 3,000-square-foot Warren Street space helped seed the city's arts district before galleries followed. It now mounts six group shows a year alongside rotating work from its roster of represented painters, sculptors and photographers, run since 2016 by co-directors Linden Scheff and Lena Petersen.

Clove & Creek is a lifestyle shop founded by Scott Neild and Michael Cook, who started with Catskills pop-up markets in 2015. Stores followed in Kingston and then at 613 Warren Street in Hudson, New York, with a third shop running seasonally in Provincetown. Home goods from small makers share the floor with apothecary items and books, plus a newer clothing range. The company also offers interior design services to its customers.

Clove & Creek began in 2015 as a series of pop-up markets in the Catskills, hosted by local restaurants. Those evenings showed handmade goods by friends and neighbours of founders Scott Neild and Michael Cook. The first permanent store followed at 73 Broadway in Kingston, New York. The second opened at 613 Warren Street in Hudson, in a double-fronted building dating to 1880 on Hudson's mile of independent shops. A third shop opened at 353 Commercial Street in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and runs on a seasonal calendar. Neild came to shopkeeping from musical theatre and event planning. He told TOAST Magazine in 2023 that shopping at a small business should be an experience and that staff need to know the story behind everything on the shelves. The stock blends new and heritage goods chosen to be natural and functional. It runs from kitchen and scullery pieces to bedding and rugs, and from apothecary items to books and vintage finds. Clothing for women and men is the newest addition, and the company also offers interior design services. Makers from the Hudson Valley and Catskills are the recurring thread, and the owners designed the store interiors themselves.
Andrew and Olivier have hand-dyed scarves, throws and table linens at their Clinton Corners studio since 2010, selling the finished pieces along with jewelry and home fragrance from their Warren Street boutique. The shop marked fifteen years in business in 2025, still producing every dyed piece in-house rather than outsourcing.
Amanda Bruns left fashion and beauty photography in New York City to open this flower shop, drawing on a family line of gardeners and florists going back to her grandmother.

Adrian Pollack and Karolina Dabo opened this showroom in 2018 to curate Danish, Scandinavian, Japanese and international designer furniture and lighting for a Hudson Valley clientele. The Warren Street space functions as both retail showroom and design consultancy rather than a manufacturer's outlet.
Best for Curated Scandinavian and Japanese designer furniture
Gestalt New York is a furniture showroom at 614 Warren Street in Hudson, NY, founded by Adrian Pollack and Karolina Dabo. The name comes from the German word for form or shape. In the 1920s it took on the meaning of an organized whole that is perceived as greater than the sum of its parts. The founders apply that idea to a collection in which every piece of furniture is treated with the same weight as the whole. Between them they bring 40 years of industry experience. They describe a model built on passion and personality rather than the conventional furniture store. The showroom sources authentic designs from around the world across seating and tables. Office and outdoor pieces sit with storage and beds. Lighting and rugs join objects and decor, and a trade programme serves designers and projects alongside private clients. An In Stock section lists pieces available immediately. The office answers enquiries through the week, and the showroom itself opens for visits through the week.
Set in a former bank dating to 1830, this Hudson, NY bakery bakes bread in a 17-ton wood-fired oven shipped brick by brick from France's Le Perche region, for which it's named. Owners Jeff and Nina Gimmel run it as a daytime café serving French baguettes, croissants and pastries.
Best for Wood-fired French bread and pastries
Le Perche occupies a building in Hudson, New York that dates to 1830 and once operated as a bank, a history the bakery's French-inspired menu doesn't reference but the architecture still shows. It's owned by Jeff and Nina Gimmel, who also run the nearby restaurant Swoon, and is named for the Le Perche region of France.
The bakery's defining feature is its oven: a 17-ton circular wood-fired oven transported brick by brick from the Le Perche region and rebuilt on site. French baguettes, organic sourdough breads, croissants and pastries all come out of that oven, baked in a two-story carriage house that looks out over a covered garden and courtyard. The choice to import a French oven wholesale, rather than build a domestic equivalent, reflects how central that piece of equipment is to what the bakery makes.
By day the space runs as a café serving breakfast, brunch and lunch with reservations available through Resy; it also does wholesale, private events and gift cards. The Times Union has called it a place with "superb baked goods," a description that points back to the oven the whole building was arranged around.
This textile house works with artisans in India on block-printed kalamkari fabrics, turning the cloth into bedding, table linens, scarves and wallpaper sold from its Warren Street showroom.

Paula Greif hand-builds painterly, organic ceramics inspired by American and Mexican folk art from her Warren Street studio, open to visitors by appointment. The pieces are sold direct from the studio and through her online shop rather than through wholesale distributors.
Jocie Sinauer has run this antiques shop since 1997, making regular buying trips to France to hand-select 17th-, 18th- and 19th-century French, Belgian and Swedish furniture, ironstone and glass.

Kate Arding, formerly of Neal's Yard Dairy and Cowgirl Creamery, and chef Mona Talbott, who trained at Chez Panisse, opened this cheese and provisions shop in 2014. The counter curates cheese, charcuterie and Hudson Valley pantry goods under a standard the owners describe simply as: if it doesn't meet it, it doesn't cross the countertop.

This bookstore and bar occupies the C.H. Evans Firehouse, a red-brick 1889 building designed by Michael O'Connor for Engine Company No. 3, converted to retail use and opened by a descendant of the Evans family in 2005. Evans' Ale, first brewed by Cornelius H. Evans in the 1800s, is still poured at the bar beneath the firehouse's original mahogany mantle.

The Spotty Dog Books & Ale occupies the C.H. Evans firehouse at 440 Warren Street in Hudson, New York. The building was erected in 1889 as the first purpose-built home of Engine Company No. 3, a company whose roots go back to 1799 and which took the name of Cornelius H. Evans, politician and brewer, in 1868. Architect Michael O'Connor planned the structure, and the cornerstone was laid on December 3, 1889 with gifts from the community that included a mahogany mantle and a bronze chandelier as well as a brass sliding pole. The upstairs served as a social hall while the truck floor was cleared for dances. In 2004 the firehouse was converted to retail use, with period doors replacing the garage door and a bar surface cut from a reclaimed bowling alley. Kelley Drahushuk, a Hudson native and Evans descendant, opened the store in 2005 after moving her art supply business down Warren Street. Her uncle Neil Evans, Cornelius H. Evans IV, owns the building and brews Evans' Ale in Albany, which is still poured at the bar. Some 10,000 volumes fill the shelves, with an art supply room at the back and kombucha on tap beside the beer. Author events and live music draw the town in, and trivia nights fill the tables. Hudson Valley Magazine profiled Drahushuk in 2014 and the Times Union covered the store in 2022.
This Warren Street shop deals in antique Americana, silver and exotica, drawing on Hudson's history as a 19th-century whaling port for its name and stock. It operates as an independent dealership rather than part of a chain, part of the concentration of antiques shops along Warren Street.
