Thumbs up Do You Know

Do you actually know where Athen's New York is? it is a small village about 70 miles north of NY City, on the Hudson. It is directly across from Hudson, New York which is famous for the Fredrick Church (the Artist) Castle and grounds. Hudson itself is a big Antique town which draws a load of NY City tourists. Athens was a well established farming town and today still has a little charm as a small village. My Grandfather was the Sheriff for Green County at the turn of the century and had a farm in Athens. He was born in 1871 and lived for 102 years and passed away in 1972. I hope the Restaurant does well as they represent a real charming village.
