One of the best small towns for shopping in the US is in upstate New York.

Rhinebeck, New York. The vibrant upstate New York village has been named one of the best places in the United States for shoppers looking for small town retail therapy.

Rhinebeck, a bustling village in the Hudson Valley, was named the 2nd best shopping town by USA Today’s 10Best. The community was listed behind Ocean Springs, Mississippi, the winner of the readers’ choice contest, and ahead of eight other cities, including Bath, Maine and Highlands, North Carolina.

The competition aimed to identify small towns that “provide great shopping opportunities”. And Reinbek, with dozens of unique stores, easily fulfills this order.

More than 40 specialty shops call Reinbek’s tree-lined streets home, locals say.

“The variety is endless,” 10Best wrote, highlighting six examples:

  • Studio and gallery of Adel Chefridi, manufacturer of handmade jewelry (including wedding rings)
  • Oblong Books, the largest independent book and music store in the Hudson Valley.
  • Hammertown, a self-proclaimed “home and lifestyle store” (and supplier of furniture for the unique “Sleeve” home)
  • Land of Oz Toys, seller of quality toys and gifts
  • Rhinebeck Vinyl Vault, where music lovers can buy new and used records.
  • Pause Dog Boutique, the four-legged best friend of mankind.

Rhinebeck is also home to Samuel’s Sweet Shop, a beloved candy store owned in part by Paul Rudd, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton.

Recently named one of Architectural Digest’s 55 Most Beautiful Small Towns in America, Rhinebeck has plenty to do beyond its eclectic array of rustic shops. If you’re planning to visit the Hudson River Village, enjoy a local brunch at The Corner by Hotel Tivoli and book a stay at the Beekman Arms, America’s oldest operating inn.
