Hudson Valley Shakespeare
2015 Route 9, Garrison
Hvshakespeare.org
After 37 seasons, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival is now simply Hudson Valley Shakespeare (HVS). It’s a subtle but significant nod to the company’s long-awaited permanent home, the Samuel H. Scripps Center, currently under construction in Garrison. As the final season under its tent unfolds, attendees can honor the closing of this chapter by reveling in its ephemeral al fresco performances one last time.
HVS’s world-class productions—paired with breezy summer evenings and pre-show picnics or seated dining with a view—bring Shakespearean canon, classic American theater, and bold new work to life without pretention. The 2025 season highlights the company’s signature blend of artistic rigor and playful spirit.
June brings both Shakespeare’s fast-paced, slapstick romp through mistaken identity, “The Comedy of Errors,” and Thornton Wilder’s Gilded Age romantic comedy “The Matchmaker” (itself the inspiration for the musical Hello, Dolly!, which was filmed partly in Garrison). Debuting in August is “Octet,” a thrilling chamber musical by Dave Malloy—best known for his Broadway hit “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812″—that dives into the modern anxieties of internet addiction, sung entirely a cappella.
Complementing the main stage shows is a slate of exclusive pre-show talks, accessible performances, and mixers, including “Out at the Tent” on June 22, a festive Pride Month reception ahead of the evening’s performance of “The Matchmaker.” The company will also bring “Julius Caesar” on tour to regional middle and high schools this fall.

ROWSEELEE
81 Main Street, Cold Spring
Rowseelee.com
After two decades of building a global fashion house spanning multiple designer brands, ROWSEELEE founder Jon Koon made a pivot—this time from high fashion to handcrafted bubble tea.
When Covid slowed his globetrotting, Koon settled in Putnam County. Immersed in the Hudson Valley’s vibrant food scene, he saw an opportunity to reimagine the popular Asian tea, milk, and tapioca drink for Western tastes.
ROWSEELEE (the phonetic spelling of Cockney slang for a cup of tea) is his answer. Its 50-plus drinks use organic, natural ingredients sourced from over 30 countries and come artfully packaged in sleek, transparent cans. The first RowSeeLee cafe opened in Mahopac last spring, followed by a second in Cold Spring in the fall.
“Two-thirds of our menu doesn’t exist anywhere else in the US,” says Koon. While the Black Sugar Fresh Milk nods to traditional bubble tea, the rest of the menu showcases the team’s obsession with sourcing and innovation.
Take the Green Apple Lychee tea: a base of coconut meat and lychee juice from Vietnam, topped with shock-frozen jasmine tea, Taiwanese Jujube apple purée, Japanese spherical ice, and Oregon-grown Granny Smith slices. “It’s a study of the green apple,” says Koon. “There’s no added sugar, but it still tastes like dessert.”
Beyond tea, the sleek, minimalist, zen-influenced cafe also serves coffee, ice cream, and desserts—offering something for every taste.
