A Little Beacon Blog’s Things To Do In Beacon Guides were featured in Upstate HOUSE magazine’s Summer 2024 issue! “We started these Guides over 10 years ago,” says publisher and blogger Katie Hellmuth. “They are the OG Things To Do In Beacon Guides. All others are imitators 😉.”

The article included quotes and thoughts about Beacon real estate and community from Emily Murnane of Beacon Bath and Bubble and Beacon Historical Society, as well as Marko Guzijan of Hudson Valley Food Hall and The Roosevelt Bar.

Said reporter Anne Pyburn Craig in the article: “The mile-long Main Street stretching from the riverfront parks to the foot of Mount Beacon is packed with treats of all sorts. A Little Beacon Blog, a frequently updated guide, lists over 30 clothing shops, 25 home goods and lifestyle stores, and good-size handfuls of other retail categories, from books and records to flowers, cigars, pet supplies, and beef jerky. Lists of coming events, classes and actives for all ages are equally long and various; from art to Zumba, you can find Beaconites enjoying all the things.

“Dining and drinking choices are so plentiful and diverse that A Little Beacon Blog lists these in three sections for West, Middle and East and has broken out a second list just for brunch spots. The restaurant guide, they explain, changes daily.”
