Hudson Valley Renegades
1500 Rte. 9D, Wappingers Falls 845-838-0094
Of course, the Brooklyn Cyclones and their fancy Coney Island KeySpan Park stadium are hard to beat—but the whole experience can feel a bit on the corporate side (again, it’s called KeySpan Park). For a small-town taste of what minor-league baseball should be like, drive an hour and a half north to Wappingers Falls and check out the Hudson Valley Renegades. The stadium is simple, the tickets are cheap, and you’re almost guaranteed to get a seat behind home plate if you want it.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
