It's our original Saturday Farmer's market, 9AM-1PM, Spring thru Fall, rain or shine. Fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, meats, baked goods & more. Corner of N. 6th & Columbia Sts. Just follow the crowd. Walk if it's nice out. And if you're here mid-week, there's also a Farmer's Market in the Seventh Street Park (7th & Warren Sts) on Wednesday afternoons 4-7 PM. In winter it moves indoors to a church on Union St. (ask me for details on that if needed)

Mexican so authentic that I actually asked what kind of latin food it was, and the waitress was confused because it was actually Mexican. Try their pupusas, chicken soup, and Tres Leches cake if you're fortunate to be there when they've made it.

Ok, so this is technically a bbq restaurant, but to be truthful, I have had better bbq. It's good, but considering how much great food is in Hudson, well, idk. How.Ever...they have live music weekends, and are a full-service bar. They open the garage doors in summer and have some outdoor seating.
