Red Hook, NY

Red Hook is one of those towns where you are not likely to find a fast food chain; instead you will find many Mom and Pop operations.

One shop that was missing was a good burger shop, and in May '08 Chippie and Cathy filled the gap by opening their nostalgic burger shop know as Uncle Chippie's Old Fashioned Burger Shop.

Here you can pick from thirteen specialty burgers or just a regular burger. The meat for the burger is purchased locally and is organic. Besides beef burgers you can also get turkey or vegan burgers. It is also possible to get a chocolate or vanilla egg cream. You will love sitting down here for your meal as there is something real nostalgic about the place.I think great thought was put into the location - you can walk from Uncle Chippies to the movie theater, so, it is a perfect place to get a meal before or after the movie.

This Burger Shop is open as follows:

Tues - Wed. 10:30am - 8:00pm

Thurs - Sat 10:30am - 9:00pm

Sun. 11:30am -8:00pm

You can also view the menu on-line at www.unclechippies.com.

Location: Route 9 and Old Farm Road, Red Hook, NY

According to a recent New York Times article the Hudson Valley is once again the place for some from New York City to buy their first home. The buyers are purchasing homes under $400,000. Reviewing the Red Hook real estate market report I noticed there were over 40 properties in the price range below $400,000, so to all you potential buyers Red Hook would be a perfect destination.

Last month I gave sellers some advice as to how to gain a competitive edge, it really comes down to pricing.

• Don't price your property out of the market
• Pay attention to the market updates provided to you by your agent and adjust your price as necessary.
• Seriously,most of the properties that are moving are priced slightly below the market.

Buyers it's time to act!

• Less than 5 months remaining for you to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit-you have to close on a property by November 30th. To make this deadline you will probably need to have an accepted offer in place by September since many closing takes 60-90 days to close and could be longer on foreclosure properties.

Last year I wrote a blog about blueberry picking in Red Hook, NY and posted a short video. Well, late last week I received a call from someone who wanted to know the price of blueberries in my area. Immediately I asked her if she had been reading my blog, she said she Googled blueberries and my blog popped up. She told me she had first called the place but did not get a hold of anyone so she figured she would call me. We had a great conversation and after that I could not get blueberries off my mind.

It has been raining a lot lately, so outdoor activities have been placed on the back burner. Yesterday however, the weather was good. and since I would be visiting a relative today, who loves blueberries I decided to go blueberry picking.

I suppose with all the rain everything is very lush. You should see the size of the berries.

So if you are thinking of a family activity, this is a good time to go blueberry picking.
