Newburgh is a surprisingly lively Hudson River town with a walkable, historic downtown, growing arts and dining scene, craft breweries, weekend markets and nearby outdoor options (hiking, riverfront parks and the Storm King Art Center) — ideal for multi-week assignments when you want variety and easy ways to unwind after shifts.
Weekend escapes are simple: New York City is within reach for world‑class theater and nightlife, and Poughkeepsie offers riverfront dining and Metro‑North access for quick trips.
